  1. Short sighted? I'd say long sighted. They aren't winning next year, why keep him around, if they can get a much younger player that MIGHT be good?
  2. Oh, I like them both. Some of the few books I kept when I moved.... but LOTR has too much non-plot for me. The Hobbit is just a fun ride. LOTR tries too hard to build a mythos and cultures. I can find it tedious at times.
  3. Much better than Lord of the Rings....
  4. My bad, it's my first poll....
  5. By this logic, every non-pitcher is ancillary. Because no hitter can effect what other hitters do, and can only barely effect what pitchers do (on defense). I think there is a zero percent chance we will agree on this.
  6. so, what's bigger? cubs wins, or twins losses? Right now, they are "tied"....
  7. What number is bigger at year end, Cubs wins, or Twins losses?
  8. Then I'd have to move.
  9. This week, Trump has basically said the 4th, 6th, and 8th amendments are bad for the country.....after last week saying the first is bad....what does that leave, other than guns?
  10. Why is a rebuilding team doing that? I wouldn't, if I was them.
  11. Probably too much. Take out the player to be named, and it might be reasonable....but I just don't know what to expect.
  12. Hmmm....best bday stories..... Well, at 21 (even though the drinking age was 18....), my fraternity brothers fed me full up with Jagermeister, and then I did embarrassing things I don't need to type out here, including uttering "she wants me" about a waitress after she and others saw me puke. Proud moment.....I haven't even tried to drink that in the last 31 years... At 40, my wife thru a very nice surprise party for me. More and more people just kept showing up, and I got to show off my new grill, and my old grill. I had one going for people that don't eat pork....and one for the majority of people. for my 50th, we were in the Caribbean, on St. .John UVI, which was awesome. We did a lot of fun things on that trip.
  13. How so? There are 9-13 other players playing every game....even if Dozier put up 12 WAR*, if the SP gives up 6 runs a game, and the other players are all bad......how could Dozier change this team's success one way or the other over 162 games? *choose your stats, you know what I mean.
  14. Great.....that isn't really the point, and no one on this thread argued about WAR being perfect, no one.
  15. Park is also nearly 30...... If I was the new regime, I'd try to showcase him, I guess, and deal him next year. As for Mauer, yes, it would be cool if they came to an injury settlement of some kind, but I have my doubts.
  16. I'm curious.....you think Trout is not valuable, and Dozier is not valuable, because the teams are bad?
  17. Well, that's a plus (the creator part) for sure.
  18. "how can he be a HoF player, he was only MVP once!"
  19. Start him in AAA until healthy and shows he's ready? That's probably what I'd do. I can see a future where Vargas is on the bench, and Park is the starter, though. Park does complicate things, agreed.
  20. I can see where Vargas plays: DH, with the occasional 1B. Sano is at 3B or 1B, with DH when Vargas isn't. I don't think it is all that hard to figure out. As for what is happening now....sigh....
  21. For me, it is pretty simple.....if you could add one player, for one year, based on last year's stats......and were starting from scratch....who would you pay the most money for? He's the most valuable. Because, you know, we measure value in money.....which player's one year performance would you pay the most money for if budget is no constraint (that is, not $/WAR or whatever)? That's pretty much Trout every year for 5 years, imo.
  22. Happy birthday. Make it a great year!
  23. And, imo, once again, they will steal it from Trout. We don't agree on the definition of most valuable...
