    if Graterol is a "massive" overpay, then forget about getting meaningful pitching help. A package of Graterol and Gordon for Mad Bum and Smith is very reasonable.

    A couple points: I like the gamble for 2 by Schoop with 2 outs. Getting into scoring position is worth it. The outfielder just made a good play. The thing I like most about Gonzalez' catch in the ninth, was how shallow he was playing. It was Billy Hamilton...make him hit it over your head. If he's not playing really shallow, that's a hit, followed by a probable stolen base. Twins teams of the past would have had their outfielders with their backs glued to the wall, in some silly "no doubles" prevent defense. They routinely played their OF too deep, and in the 9th would have played them even farther back, no matter who was at the plate.

    I dont think Graterol has any bearing on 2020. It's unlikely a winter trade will be of the magnitude to take trading Graterol. Or Lewis or Kiriloff for that matter. And I hope in this of all seasons, the present trumps worrying about the future anyway.

    I believe both Gibson and Odo could be given a qualifying offer, no? The 2020 situation isnt quite so clearcut. Also, Graterol ishighly unlikely to be of much help in 2020. All that said, I might still pass, I'm not sold on Mad Bum.

    254 Ks and a 1.01 WHIP in 2016. 176 Ks and a 1.27 WHIP at the time of the trade in 2017. A long history as an ace, with strong recovery from injuries in 2015. Marcus Stroman isnt in the same league as Verlander.
  6. USAFChief
    In that they're both males?
  7. USAFChief
    well it IS unfortunate. Complete game wins are worth more in the standings than regular wins.
  8. USAFChief
    not to mention, "wait to make the Verlander trade until the precise moment that it makes the most sense for us" ignores the likelihood that there won't be a Verlander when/if that precise moment arrives. BTW, I wonder how Verlander would have done if handed a 3-0 lead in the first inning if a WC game in Yankee Stadium.

    Creative. I like it.

    I think it was nicksaviking who suggested Ian Kennedy. After looking into it, I’m very interested. Owed $16.5m this year and next. Throwing pretty well,out of KC’s pen. Healthy and seemingly durable. Roughly $25m left to pay for this tear and next. If you took on, say, $15m of that, I bet he’d be available for not much.
  11. USAFChief
    concur.

    what he said.

    Thank you! Most of my matarial is old enough to collect Social Security.

    easy peasy, lemon squeezy. Easy, stress free WINNAH!

    ftfy. c'mon. easy one.

    The judges have ruled against you. It was Cron with a majestic long ball to deep left center and Cruz with a laser beam just inside the LF foul pole. You also had the order wrong, which was sort of a big deal to the Russian judge.
  18. USAFChief
    False. The National Bowling Association finals are Sunday afternoon.
  19. USAFChief
    He has a bus to catch.
  20. USAFChief
    Falvine won't go that 3rd year.
  21. USAFChief
    Might have better luck at the Greyhound Depot.
  22. USAFChief
    inCRedible!
  23. USAFChief
    They signed Joe Nathan between innings. He gets the 9th. Negotiations with Aguilera ongoing, pending a physical.
  24. USAFChief
    Excellent job getting the guy to hit that frozen rope within Buxton's range.
  25. USAFChief
    Perhaps stock up on oxygen for the 9th.
