the 10 year olds wipe the floor with me in COD, but I can pull off a win on occasion in Fortnite. Battlefield 1 is my first person shooter of choice. Loads of fun and strategy. I’ve been meaning to pick up Red Dead Redemption 2. I liked the first a lot. I haven’t had a ton of time to play either.
yeah, I can picture something along the lines of: “we’ll take Graterol off your hands for Maeda, but we want Raley back too”, then comes the negotiation on the mix of flier and cash to even things out for the Twins.
91 might have been a better offseason with Chili Davis and Jack Morris, but I could be persuaded that Donaldson and Maeda are a better tandem as an offseason goes, and this was after setting the foundation with Pineda and Odo So if this is in contention with the best offseason in my lifetime, it has to be an A....
yup, and if you want to stop the bleeding, better get your game accessible via widespread streaming post-haste! Prime, YouTube, Twitter, whatever... if it’s available, consumers will pay for it al a carte, or from a service they already have.
Point of clarification: The big league field has concessions on game days, but the back fields do not. And if you can swing a long weekend to Florida, don’t wait. It’s a great experience!
The STrib has Starting Payroll at $135 plus unsigned rookies totaling 4 mil (139-140) and incentives plus IL fodder can push it to $150 http://m.startribune.com/in-final-piece-of-graterol-maeda-deal-twins-get-class-a-catcher/567745652/
with 6 years of development and the long history like Plouffe of being drafted a SS and being a productive major leaguer at 3B, I think looking for tools and creating/developing your depth makes a lot of sense, at least when drafting high schoolers. College players, sure draft for need.
The pitchers mound has changed a handful of times, 1893, 1904, 1950 and 1968. That is one of the rule changes I can get behind. Oh, and the experimental rules continue this year too. https://ballparkdigest.com/2019/04/10/controversial-pitching-mound-experiment-pushed-back-to-2020/ https://bosoxinjection.com/2013/12/13/pitching-mound-history/
Those rumors were from the equivalent of Brandon Warne. I love Warne, great writer, he’s not LEN3 or Ken Rosenthal. It’s not that Warne, or Thomas Holland or any of us here at TD can’t break news coverage... but I wouldn’t take it as gospel
Is it just me, or did Boston end up worse off from the first version? Verdugo, Downs, Wong... Downs and Wong don’t do a lot for me as a SS and a super utility both with just a taste of AA...
now you have Berrios, Maeda, and Pineda in your ‘21 rotation. Next offseason, much more feasible to fill out or improve on a potentially very good ‘20 rotation.
https://blogs.fangraphs.com/an-update-on-how-to-value-draft-picks/ According to FG, 67th pick of ‘19 was worth 4.1 mil. Cash could mean some room for the Twins to make a move at the trade deadline
http://m.startribune.com/minnesota-twins-dodgers-red-sox-work-toward-finalizing-deal/567710582/?refresh=true Two highlights: “ As of last night, the Twins had added a second minor leaguer to the deal - a player outside their top ten prospects” And “ This also means that the chances that Brusdar Graterol remain a Twin are slim. Personally, I was surprised to see him on the mound yesterday amidst the turmoil surrounding the deal and the Red Sox concerns over his medical information. But he threw his bullpen session despite all of it.”
