    You've already allocated that $12M, and then some, for Grandal.
  2. USAFChief
    In that case, $1. and that concludes the bids.
  3. USAFChief
    Source?
  4. USAFChief
    But that's not what you're proposing. You're proposing signing Grandal, who will cost more than Cruz, and for more years. You likely end up with a worse batting order, for more money, not less.

    Sell Lewis while there's still a whiff of high first round magic pixie dust in the air.

    It's flipping easy to find a 1.000 OPS DH?? I'm pretty confident nobody in the Twins organization is contemplating trading Cruz. I'm also pretty confident Garver's not putting up another .900 OPS season.

    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.
  11. USAFChief
    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?

    I wish we had Darvish. 172 innings of 112 ERA+ with over 200 Ks last year.
  13. USAFChief
    Well deserved.
  14. USAFChief
    sweeter! I couldn't afford cable back then, so I only got to watch games that were broadcast nationally. Oh, and...rowtheboatskiumahgogophers!!
  15. USAFChief
    Chief Jr II and his totally awesome girlfriend will be in attendance at TCF. SKI-U-MAH!
  16. USAFChief
    Perhaps that World Series Trophy takes a bit of the sting away.
  17. USAFChief
    No, they've got pitching, bad. They need pitching, good.
  18. USAFChief
    Robot HP umpiring will be a massive mistake. I'm not even convinced it will actually improve ball and strike calling.
  19. USAFChief
    I suggest you review the "trade for Verlander" thread. You'll find plenty of objection, based on prospect cost.
  20. 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...
  21. USAFChief
    Your oars are nowhere near the water.
  22. 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.
  23. USAFChief
    PJ Fleck agrees to an extension through the 2026 season. Couldn't be happier. Row The Boat!
  24. 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.
  25. 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.
