    Without Bran becoming the three eyed raven, Jon never finds out that he's the rightful heir to the throne, and without Jon finding that out, Daenerys never flips out and burns kings landing to the ground. So I don't understand those saying that the Bran story line hasn't gone anywhere.

    Only in Minnesota would, "Why did you send Berrios back out for the 6th?", be considered confrontational.

    Money is still money, no matter how much you already have. When I work on a mansion on the lake for a millionaire, they ask if they can pull scraps from the dumpster at the same rate as the working class guy with the 1300 square foot rambler. Why would they give away something that someone will give them cash for?
  4. Mr. Brooks
    Adrianza in the starting lineup seems to me like the definition of "needed".
  5. Mr. Brooks
    My guess would be that he and his agent looked back and saw absolutely no historical precedent for the Twins making a deadline deal for a pitcher like Bumgarner. I hope this regime bucks the trend if the price is right, but if I were them I'd probably never expect the Twins to make such a deal.
  6. Mr. Brooks
    With the job Wes Johnson has done, pre-Wes results are almost meaningless to me. Duffey gets a clean slate for me, let's see what his after-Johnson career looks like.
  7. Mr. Brooks
    You are correct that he didn't sign at the deadline, but it was an extension. He signed before the season ended, October 22nd.
  8. Mr. Brooks
    What was odd about the timing?
  9. Mr. Brooks
    Eduardo Escobar did just last year.
  10. Mr. Brooks
    It has everything to do with him. He's got a 5.80 FIP and a 5.05 ERA.... in the National League. He's been worth nearly a full negative bWAR already.
  11. Mr. Brooks
    Why won't those teams be involved? He chose them precisely because he thinks they are the most likely teams to be involved.
  12. Mr. Brooks
    I do. Shannon Stewart.
  13. Mr. Brooks
    I don't want players to play if they are so hurt that their performance is negatively impacting the team, as you are suggesting it was. If we are to dismiss any poor performance because, "they might have been hurt", then you are effectively saying that we can never say that a player wasn't good. That's fine if that is how you personally want to view things. But please don't grandstand against me for choosing to use the numbers that a player posted while on the field. If a player chooses to play hurt, that's on them, they still have to own their contributions. I'll just rephrase my initial comment to, Reed was terrible last season, for whatever the reason.
  14. Mr. Brooks
    Doubtful, without researching every organizational depth chart.
  15. Mr. Brooks
    True, but one is a 32 year old pending free agent. And the other two have 608 combined plate appearances, with one having concussions and the other no true position. They are in great shape at this very moment, but I agree it's not a surplus.
  16. Mr. Brooks
    I believe that was Fats Domino, not Cheap Trick.
  17. Mr. Brooks
    True, but, being the 8th ranked prospect in all of baseball at one time is also part of that history. For me, there was no way the FO signed him to just continue putting up the numbers he had been. The ONLY way it made sense to me is if the FO clearly thought they saw some things they could tweak, which was my argument when they signed him. Of course, there was no guarantee those tweaks were going to work, but I was happy to at least see them attempt it.
  18. Mr. Brooks
    In every thread on here about Perez, there is inevitably a post or two similar to the one above mine that you quoted: "Enjoy this run while it lasts because it's unlikely to continue."
  19. Mr. Brooks
    It is indeed the stadium. Minor has a 204 ERA+.
  20. Mr. Brooks
    Can you name some examples of MLB for MLB deadline trades? My buddy and I were having this conversation the other day, and neither of us could recall any.
  21. Mr. Brooks
    I'm not the one who requires evidence as I'm not tossing out chunks of time to support my argument. Let me rephrase my argument. During the time before he went on the DL last year, his collective numbers were not good. I have no idea what the health level was for the players you mention. Playing hurt to the detriment of the team seems incredibly stupid and selfish to me, so that is not a reassuring excuse to me, even if valid.
  22. Mr. Brooks
    I'd hope nobody, on either side of the debate, is using a one game sample in their argument. I'm also not sure how many people suggested that Kirilloff needs to replace Cron now. Simply that there is an underperforming place for him when he's ready.
  23. Mr. Brooks
    I really hope people continue to doubt Perez.
  24. Mr. Brooks
    I seem to recall reports that the Twins tried to get a second year on Schoop and he wasn't interested. Barring a major injury or collapse, I'm guessing he's going to test free agency.
  25. Mr. Brooks
    20 days for position players. 30 days for pitchers.
