Not even close to a first down. Maybe the refs miss calls both ways, crazy thought.
-
You'd be a more generous owner than I. Spielman has had long enough.
-
If we can't win, it must be because the refs don't want us to. Teams that need an excuse will never win anything. Nevermind the 3 that NE had to settle for when Harris got away with PI at the goalline earlier.
-
I get that. But, you are probably sacrificing at least some bat if you play an outfielder at DH, so you are paying something for that insurance against injury.
-
What I mean, is if a player is capable of playing 3B or OF, why is he playing DH, why isn't he playing 3B or OF? Playing Buxton at 1B would be wasting part of his skill set, as would playing a third baseman or outfielder at DH. If the FO wants a full time DH, rather than a rotation, then why does it matter what other positions he can play?
-
Tough to run deep routes when the OLine can't block for more than 2 seconds.
-
Yeah, I was curious as to why Philly let us hire Defilippo, even though he was still under contract. Now I'm not surprised.
-
Just punt on 3rd down if you aren't even going to try.
-
Wouldn't someone who can play 3B or OF kind of be wasted at DH? DH is a position in the AL. I prefer it to be treated as such, rather than just a place to rotate your other position players through.
-
If Austin is the everyday first baseman, then you still need a DH.
-
I don't see enough to know everything he does behind the scenes, but it amazes me that Priefer still has a job. Every kicker is terrible here.
-
Tyler Austin is just fine at 1B, defensively.
-
I'm not sure they actually wanted him. They offered him a contract that, while technically might have been the 2nd highest, he was never, IMO, going to accept. And I'm sure his agent made it clear to teams that he wasn't signing without a player opt out, so IMO, the Twins knew he wasn't going to consider their offer.
-
I don't think you need to put them on a pedestal to care about their behavior. If the chef at my favorite restaurant did this, I would find another place to eat. If my mechanic did this, I would find a new shop. I wouldn't patronize any place that I know employs people who assault women. Sure, people deserve a chance to change, but redemption doesn't happen overnight.
-
They wouldn't have given Cron a guaranteed contract (they didn't have to), if they were going to let him fight it out in ST. Cron is on the roster now, barring injury.
-
It's not just on principle. Polanco makes the minimum. I don't want to pay huge guaranteed money to a guy who may not be able to hit without PED's.
-
I'd hate if that happened. I enjoy following the Vikings, but I no longer could if they picked up this guy.

A conscious, or a PR department? They had no intention of disciplining him, until the video was leaked. From August: Andy Reid: After those incidents, Hunt said Andy Reid’s message to him was simple. “Just move forward and focus on football,” Hunt said the Chiefs coach told him. Team Chairman: “The team’s made up of a bunch of young men,” Clark Hunt said Saturday. “They’re not always going to make the best decisions, but we have a strong support system, both with the coaching staff and also with our player development department that works with young guys and talks to them about the situations that they want to be in. “Kareem is a young man, second year in the league, obviously had a very big year on the field last year. I’m sure he learned some lessons this offseason and hopefully won’t be in those kind of situations in the future.” Clark Hunt added he doesn’t believe the running back will face any suspension time but he isn’t always privy to those decisions made by the NFL.

Middle of the pack is a team weakness if I'm GM.

Middle of the pack is not good.
-
My math reflects those things. There is no way it's only $8 million across the whole league. $8 million across the whole league would only be about 3k per player.
-
And, like Ray Rice, they've known about this since February, and did nothing until the video was leaked. And, despite the video, cops made no arrest, and prosecutors filed no charges.
-
I don't believe he said that he wouldn't trade top prospects, just not that specific one. He didn't seem to suggest that he wouldn't trade Kiriloff. I'd trade anyone in the system for the right player, except Lewis. I'm not trading him for anyone. You are right that this team needs front line pitching, but it also needs a superstar. There are no guarantees, but Lewis seems poised to become one.

100 players x $80k (currently average 20k)= $8M per team. Ben seems to have the math right, he just incorrectly thinks that total is league wide, when it should be per team.

Mr. Brooks replied to gunnarthor's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
I stand by my math. Time will tell.
