    the team must administer (or schedule w/ the third party) the test, no? Maybe not the analysis, but the collection. Or do you mean when the team gets the results?
  2. Richie the Rally Goat
    you had me until Lewis. Don’t mess with him out of necessity.
  3. Richie the Rally Goat
    Boy am I disappointed in Polanco. Even if he didn’t intentionally take the roids, which is suspect, he made a bad choice by taking something that he didn’t know what it was.
  4. Richie the Rally Goat
    yabba dabba don’t go there

    Rooker’s destiny is in his own hands. Depth isn’t affecting Rooker’s development plan. Wade might be impacted, but if he makes his case, they’ll figure out the finagling. Seems like Levi Michael has to figure some things out... he hasn’t been in the discussion at all.
  6. Richie the Rally Goat
    now all they need is a left handed outfielder named Quarry and the screwball comedy script writes itself
  7. Richie the Rally Goat
    https://youtu.be/FG0-cncMpt8 I had the same thought. Maybe Antony will put a piano in the locker room just to see if Cave can play it...
  8. Richie the Rally Goat
    seems more like Pirana small ball... nibbled to death rather than the Darvish home run
  9. Richie the Rally Goat
    nope, I’m saying TR never had this kind of offseason where he could really play hardball like Levine has. TR overpaid for Ricky Nolasco and Phil Hughes because the market was there for the better talent to take contracts outside of his ability/willingness to pay. This new FO has done really good things, but they’ll need to do it again next year. I can’t wait to watcj
  10. Richie the Rally Goat
    Sanchez gets somthing between 400 and 500k
  11. Richie the Rally Goat
    oportunity may not be the same next year. It doesn’t matter how good you are, if the opportunity to sign someone who misjudged the market doesn’t exist, the FO won’t get the same perceived “value” they’ll get scrap heap ala TR

    ive been in favor signing him, I think last year was a bounce back from TJ year and 2018 on he’ll go back to a more normal year more or less. I do understand the doubters. Not everyone recovers from major surgery the same way. Yes, I expect his BABIP to climb and his k rate to climb with it. He relied heavily on his sinker last year more than other years. It’s not a good pitch for him, but with health he shouldn’t have to rely on it. Less sinker means better ability to pitch up in the zone, out of the wheelhouse of the uppercut swing types
  13. Richie the Rally Goat
    Indeed it could be an outlier, but we don’t know. A thousand mile journey begins with one step.
  14. Richie the Rally Goat
    had to check the time stamp to make sure the was a prediction
  15. Richie the Rally Goat
    itll be Vargas... but Sanchez is owed less than a mil, so he’ll be cut shortly before the escalator
  16. Richie the Rally Goat
    It’s official Lynn agrees to one year 12 mil with Twins https://mobile.twitter.com/jonmorosi/status/972587636866117632
  17. Richie the Rally Goat
    if LoMo and his 38 home runs in 2017 signed for 6.5 mil, what on earth makes you think Levine would agree to 10 for Mauer?
  18. Richie the Rally Goat
    its Gleeman and the Geek Bonnes: Gibson’s turned the corner! Let’s get him wrapped up before he gets expensive Gleeman: he does this every year... his stats are always the same and yet you want to get into a long term contract. He’s a 5th starter John, you need to produce a new Gibson from your farm system before he becomes a free agent. Bonnes: I think he figured it out Sconnie (shouting at car stereo): we already have Gibson 2.0 in Mejia, let’s improve the front of the rotation
  19. Richie the Rally Goat
    4 years of 7% followed by 1 year of14%. It’s more than 2 data points... however 2017 could be an outlier. Why I’m absolutely in favor of a 2 year deal on Lynn.
  20. Richie the Rally Goat
    2017 looked just like his career. While getting an Arbitration salary there’s value with Gibson, but i don’t buy that he turned a corner. Same with Lynn or Cobb, I think either one of them would be a not huge, but decent upgrade over Gibson. Maybe working with Alston and Falvey can improve value from one of them. That’s a huge improvement over Hughes or Sanchez and slots Mejia in 5th, Gibson in 4th. So you’d have fewer starts from the weakest links. When Santana comes back, exercise Mejia’s option and now you could have a heck of a solid 1-5 rotation. No Ace per say, but good as a whole, at least good enough to get 90 wins if they hit like last year.
  21. Richie the Rally Goat
    what percentage of players picked 75th overall become league average major leaguers? It requires a volume of picks to become one major league player... how many can you afford to forego for 6-12 years in the future to gain x value for the next 2 to 4 years? Is the x value of Lynn over 2-4 years worth it? I think yes, but maybe not a similar situation in a few years... the pipeline of development and talent isn’t quite there to have any certainty for year 2 but will be a higher likelihood for year 4/5
  22. Richie the Rally Goat
    that was a hostile takeover and the rule of when 3G capital can take another crack at Unilever is limited by Unilever having one of its headquarters in the UK. British rules are 6 months between offers. There’s lots of second guessing among the private equity groups around Unilever turning that down. Unilever is becoming more cash strapped as they are raising margin, but can’t sustain sales growth. Not always a good comparison... and yet this one still might be in the end
  23. Richie the Rally Goat
    the team was 27th in MLB in pitching last year, league average is quite the step up
  24. Richie the Rally Goat
    the whole point was “where there’s smoke, there’s fire”
