MLB Rumors: A lot of interest in Plouffe
Mike Sixel replied to HitInAPinch's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
The don't have to trade him if they sign Park. Plouffe's value is based on what a team will give up, not how desperate they think the Twins are or are not.- 146 replies

got it, I thought you were stating a fact, not stating what people think/observe. Apologies.
-
so much wrong with this post....as if most people getting government assistance aren't working, for example.
-
I don't really care at all. Frankly, if colleges got rid of sports, I'd be good with that. Supposedly they play to teach things.....so the championship should mean nothing, right? Right?
-
Iowa is a lock if they win out. I think MSU is also. Assuming Clemson and Alabama win out, and one of IA/MSU does....who is 4? IF ND wins out, the committee will put them in, not sure they'll deserve it or not, but they will be in.

Good thing I made espresso at home.....I too like cashews, top 3 nut for me. Cranberry? Well, we'll have cranberry salsa (SW theme this year) and sauce in a few days....but I do like cran in my drinks usually too.
-
It's ok to tear it down......but teams need to realize that MOST fans won't pay money to watch a AAAA team at MLB prices. And, teams need to be honest about it, and not get pissed when the fans get pissed. The response by the "leadership" in Atlanta is sad.
-
that wasn't the choice, though.....the choice was protecting guys that had zero chance to be on the roster, or a LH that (other teams) could move to the BP.
-
yes, I think moving to a parliamentary system would re-introduce compromise to the system.....
-
I promise you would like this. It wend back in the oven a couple times.....and it turned out nice, but not as good as it has in the past. Plus, my wife finished it up, which made me feel bad since I was trying to give her a day off......oh well. It isn't custardy at all, just 2 eggs and a cup of cream for 6-8 servings.....
-
Sigh. Spent a lot of today cooking a great vegetable tart. But the crust was too small, and there was not room for all the custard. Now I have something only potentially edible.
-
Lots of angst (just like every year) over guys that probably won't accumulate more than 1.5 WAR in their careers.....
-
I've read that article. It does not back up your assertion that the Twins would replace Kepler and Burdi with zero WAR players, which is our point...... It is Fernandez plus two other players, compared to Berrios, Burdi, Kepler. If you trust TR, I would think you trust him to find players worth more than Zero WAR to play whatever position you think Kepler is going to play. It also discounts that, if you wanted to, you can trade Fernandez after 2 years, and get other players back. Your WAR projections pretty much ignore all the context, and just compare those three players in a vacuum.

My wife eats almond butter by the spoonful before she goes and works out at 6 am......and also it is good mixed in with my oatmeal. But, admittedly, it is a bit chunky.....more gritty, really.
-
Not concerned either way. Surprised a bit, but not concerned that they might lose some of these guys.
-
I agree on the natural, btw. Huge difference. But, I disagree you can turn crunchy into creamy by chewing, I still start with crunchy. You COULD, however, buy creamy and add nuts and have crunchy if you were so inclined....
-
I would wager he goes unclaimed. That said, if I'm one of the terrible teams that are probably not competing next year, I would consider claiming him and put him in the bullpen......and if he seems healthy, the rotation.
-
That's an awful lot of crunchy votes, and here I thought we could avoid calling each other stupid* on one thread.....oh well. *not that I am saying you are generally stupid, just, you know, on this one topic where you clearly are.
-
Crunchy? Is that still a disgusting thing?
-
I think saying 3 years is RIGHT NOW is a bit misleading......
-
And if the budget won't allow for 5-7 years and $25MM per year, just pass?

Bullpen Strategy: What Would You Do?
Mike Sixel replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
I would sign one FA RP, whichever you can get for 2 years you like the most. I would move Rodgers to the bullpen as my LOOGY and sometimes more. I would move Milone to RP, as a guy that pitchers 1-2 innings fairly often, to bridge from the 3rd time through a batting order to the shorter RPs. I would like May more as a starter, but I don't see a clear path to that...... -
So if they get Fernandez, they can't do more to get better? The argument on this site, nearly every day, is that they aren't one player away, so they should not pay a lot for one player.....what if they had added an elite player last year, then another this year? We might not be "there" yet, but the argument on this site is to never do this kind of thing......

My oldest son eats PB all the time. When he recently posted a picture of fruit and vegetable as his dinner, one of his friends asked where the PB was. He replied that he only had 5 jars left, and needed to ration it......His ice cream is usually more PB than ice cream in the bowl.
