  1. He's a legit writer. Where can you prove it is wrong? Or, go to Fangraphs, where they say last year was over 45%......
  2. I suggest you follow this person: He has the data and facts, and reports what the union is asking for.
  3. I don't think the Twins would miss Rooker being gone. They have plenty of other options that do more things than him. But, I'm biased, never liked that pick at all. As for Sano, I am still a believer, but he might not have a spot on the next good Twins' team....but his current value is too low compared to his upside, so I keep him.
  4. If the pitchers aren't legit good starters, that's bad? Like, being a number 2-3 is bad? I don't think we see things the same way at all. I'd be THRILLED if the Twins have 2 number 3s. Thrilled.
  5. Who is still a good player.....and legit starting 3B. Fans should be happy if Miranda is a legit good starter.
  6. They're literally asking for the minimums go up drastically......because more than 50% of playing time goes to players in pre-arb contracts. I suggest reading up on what the players are asking for and saying about that.
  7. You just compared him to Donaldson, and said ranking him 3rd best prospect is high..... If he's an average defender with that bat, he's a 2.5-3.5 WAR players. That would be great.
  8. There is no reason for him to be in AA next year. None.
  9. To be clear, you'd take a twenty million dollar pay cut to maybe win a super bowl? Maybe? I doubt that very much.
  10. I'd take the money. That's generations of money. Which of those QBs took a pay cut from their existing team? Hint. Maybe one, maybe.
  11. I don't think they have a 2 or 3 this year.....
  12. That's not his problem. Would you take a pay cut to hire another person?
  13. Rumor has it the Panthers have called about Cousins.....they have the 6th pick......If the Vikings deal Cousins, you almost have to deal Cook and maybe anyone else over 28 or so....(Smith and Thielen, for example).
  14. Why would he take a pay cut?
  15. I was never a fan of the pick....I wanted a pitcher, wavering between Greene and I think the guy Tampa picked (who so far doesn't look like a good pick). I continue to hope I was wrong.....He certainly has been hurt by circumstance a lot.....but, well, we'll see I guess.
  16. Mrs. Maisel picking up right where it left off....great show.
  17. They're literally arguing that young guys that make up over fifty percent of playing time get a lot more money. How is that shameful on the older players, exactly? The fight is about young players..... Seriously.
  18. None of it is settled.
  19. I will actively root for them to lose every game forever if they bring in Watson. Forever.
  20. "budgeting" the answer to everyone that thinks workers are the problem, and not unfair pay. There are literally stories all over the internet, about how little they are paid, how they don't get paid for a lot of time they work, how they have to pay for their own training and equipment, etc. About how they sleep on floors. About how they get moved from city to city, so they can't rent a place the same way normal people can. You can keep typing this stuff over and over, but it doesn't change the actual experiences they are having, rather than some hypothetical that isn't real.
  21. Pretty sure it was following Seth from his old place.......
  22. Truth. Real housing is a big deal. I don' think we know details yet, though, and I'm guessing it won't look as pretty as we all hope. I mean, seriously, they don't even want to pay players for spring training. How anyone can side with ownership on this is mind boggling to me.
  23. I can't believe anyone types this, not if they've read all the stories by minor league players living 7 to an apartment with 2 bedrooms. The stories are all over the internet. The players don't have plenty of money. 75K? To live off for years in the minors? To pay for your own equipment? To pay for off season training? To pay for rent and food for years?
  24. Never* speak in absolutes. The world can change and you don't want to be boxed in. *yes, yes, I know.
