    There is a great article on FG and the value of adding OBP hitters to a team of bad OBP, but high SLG. It was probably from around July of last year. The basic conclusion was that if you are a HR hitting team, adding another HR hitter actually makes more sense than adding 1 high OBP hitter. Now, if you want to add 3 high OBP hitters, that's a different thing, but that's not real likely right now.

    I'd say most of the pizza we make at home has no sauce....olive oil, spinach, caramelized onion, and then various cheeses/meats/savories (though sometimes just cheese).

    I'd like to see Milone as the long man, and for Molitor to have a quicker hook and to use Milone for 2 innings at a time......I think the team that decides most SP should NOT face a lineup a 3rd or 4th time is a team that will win games "it shouldn't"..... That said, i think the next trade is a true shocker, and Ryan trades a prospect or 2 for a MLB player.

    I have only done that to 1 poster, but there are 2 others I have considered. It's a site to talk about the Twins, and the FO, not about other posters.......Defend and admire Ryan all you want, I won't rip you as a person....I will probably disagree with your opinion/statement, but that's not like saying you are bad/wrong/evil. But again, the mods here are great overall. It's a nit. Overall, the site is great, and well run.

    Recruit well? Where have their classes ranked among big 10 (really, can we rename the conference already, please) teams each year? I'm happy for Claeys, good luck to him.

    if I could find a way to eat pizza (that was actually good) without the empty crust calories, that would be great (I'm 50....and drink beer, don't need MORE empty calories).

    This is supposed to be a professional website, not a forum for people to sit around and casually talk baseball? Disagree, strongly. I have told several mods that I think personal attacks are allowed from one side against posters. They disagree. Whatever....as long as you allow me to defend myself against them, I'm cool. btw, I have also told the mods that I deeply appreciate their time, deeply.

    KLAW is the only reason I still pay......ESPN continues to provide less and less content I'm interested in on their site.

    This day just screams desperate for attention to me.......but I'll still eat pizza probably.

    I don't know.....but I remember people saying Greinke could never succeed in a big market.....some baseball cultures appear to be good at helping players with confidence (I remember Maddon in TB saying "why wouldn't we expect him to keep being this good" about one of his players, while at the same time Gardy was saying "we shouldn't expect him to keep this up" about one of his, for example), I just don't think we know what will happen with Hicks. I think Hicks can't hit from the left side.....but he can get on base via walk and play a good to very good CF if he can figure out routes.....but I am not convinced he is weak mentally like some here are.

    I can't believe I just read that whole thread.....I need a pizza and a beverage now. That said, up until now, I would agree. Ryan has never gone big. He sat on his hands for the most part in the dome days when they were just 1 hitter away, imo. But, I am not going to judge this Ryan until February. I think there is evidence he might be going for it this year. I have no idea if this is the year to do it, but he probably only has 3 years or so left. If this is it, I'll agree, once again he settled. A risky move =/= an aggressive move. Those are not the same thing. There is clearly risk in this deal (there is also risk in doing nothing.....), but I wouldn't call it aggressive or shooting for the stars or going big. I also wouldn't call the Park deal going big, frankly. I have my doubts, but I also see a glimmer that things will be different this year. I'm not holding my breath, I'm not raising my hopes, but I'm not abandoning hope that something is different this year either.

    Any good stout makes a great float......

    Thanks for the KLAW update, he's the most upbeat of anyone I read on Murphy.

    My bad....did you try the real margarita recipe?
  15. Mike Sixel
    On day 1, Kepler and Buxton both here? I doubt it, not impossible, but I doubt it.
  16. Mike Sixel
    but what are the ingredients of the "soft serve", dairy or some kind of who knows what.....you might not want to check....
  17. Mike Sixel
    "likely" outcome is average catcher? Even though Sickels, FG, and others say likely role player?
  18. Mike Sixel
    This is actually my thought....they have an OF crunch, they don't have any C close, it opens space for others, and gives them a shot at a C. Not sure he's my favorite target, but.....I gotta give Ryan credit for the process. But anyone can follow a good process, I will still judge this on outcomes....
  19. Mike Sixel
    I worry about buying high on BABIP, again.....a lot.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Well, here is what Cameron thinks: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/yankees-acquire-aaron-hicks-a-potential-bargain/ Didn't make me feel all warm and fuzzy.......
  21. Mike Sixel
    Wow......gotta go look this guy up, I guess. but Cameron likes it for the Yankees... http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/yankees-acquire-aaron-hicks-a-potential-bargain/
  22. Mike Sixel
    That wasn't the question.....but it's interesting, because some people are saying they'd not do it from the Twins' side....
  23. Mike Sixel
    DQ.....is that even actually ice CREAM?
  24. Mike Sixel
    The entire premise of the thread was "would you do this if you think Schwarber is a catcher".........
  25. Mike Sixel
    Which FA catcher would that be? BTW, next year's FA class (as a whole) looks brutally uninteresting....
