    Donaldson would look fantastic standing at 3b in a Twins uniform next spring. Pushing Sano to first base is a bonus.
  2. USAFChief
    I'd do that yesterday.

    But they will occasionally put out a quality product at whatever dumb name their stadium has this year. "Betty's Really Neat AirBNB Field at ReCyCl Aluminum Can Recycling, Inc Stadium" per source: http:www.bidhereforWSStadiumnamingrights,com Local fans already referring to it as BRN'd out ReCC.

    Yes, please. I don't really want Romo back, but they absolutely should add quality and depth to the bullpen.
  5. USAFChief
    Sell Lewis while there's still a whiff of high first round magic pixie dust in the air.

    https://www.si.com/college/2019/11/15/minnesota-pj-fleck-big-ten Really nice article from SI.

    In all seriousness, whether you like Fleck's schtick or not, there's no denying his teams tend to be well coached. Few mental mistakes, few penalties, willing and able to throw and run the ball when appropriate. Apparent "buy-in" up and down the roster. Confident, decisive players. He and his staff appear to be able to identify underrated recruits with more talent than stars. There's more to this than slogans and bluster.

    GET OFF MY LAWN!!!

    The difference between leagues is surprisingly small (currently .12 runs/game), and getting smaller. https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/what-if-the-national-league-had-a-dh/ Personally I don't think it's even worth considering.

    This is a very well thought out plan, couple nitpics: I think your dollars are light everywhere, except Rendon. Pomeranz will get double that, for example. Way light on the Gray trade, as well. Rosario just doesnt have much trade value. I want no part of Romo. His smoke and mirrors were fantastic this season, but smoke and mirrors never last. I think Alex Gordon already stated he will only play for the Royals, didn't he?
  11. USAFChief
    Well deserved.
  12. USAFChief
    sweeter! I couldn't afford cable back then, so I only got to watch games that were broadcast nationally. Oh, and...rowtheboatskiumahgogophers!!
  13. USAFChief
    Chief Jr II and his totally awesome girlfriend will be in attendance at TCF. SKI-U-MAH!
  14. USAFChief
    Perhaps that World Series Trophy takes a bit of the sting away.
  15. USAFChief
    No, they've got pitching, bad. They need pitching, good.
  16. USAFChief
    Robot HP umpiring will be a massive mistake. I'm not even convinced it will actually improve ball and strike calling.
  17. USAFChief
    I suggest you review the "trade for Verlander" thread. You'll find plenty of objection, based on prospect cost.
  18. USAFChief
    Nitpic: your dates are off by one. Sunday, Nov 3, not Nov 4. Monday, Nov 4, not 5, etc etc. Not a big deal, but in an article about dates...
  19. USAFChief
    Your oars are nowhere near the water.
  20. USAFChief
    In my post I believe I acknowledged the possibility you might find literally dozens of examples that you would later regret. Among the 1,000,000,001 prospects cited. With respect..do the math. Side note re bolded text: You're talking about Christian Yelich here, amiright? Or Verlander? Garrett Cole? Can't tell.
  21. USAFChief
    PJ Fleck agrees to an extension through the 2026 season. Couldn't be happier. Row The Boat!
  22. USAFChief
    Well, I know that Gonsalves and Stewart are examples 1,000,000,000 and 1,000,000,001 of the vast, overwhelming majority of prospects that amount to nothing. It's the next market inefficiency. I should patent it.
  23. USAFChief
    Gonsalves and Stewart are examples 1,000,000,000 and 1,000,000,001 why you never, ever resist trading "prospects" for established major league players. I acknowledge there are most likely dozens of examples in those 1,000,000,001 where you'd end up regretting the move.
  24. USAFChief
    An excellent idea.
  25. USAFChief
    I'd say there's room between "one hit wonder" and "above average." Garver put up a .995 OPS with a HR/AB ratio that will be impossible to repeat. So yeah, I think that's almost certainly Garver's career year. As for Grandal, it ain't happening. He'll want a starting job, for one thing.
