  1. Mauer is going to be a 9th inning hero. You just wait and see.
  2. I'm pretty sure have of TD pressed that button on opening day.
  3. Unfortunately, there is. You put a "3" in the "6" column.
  4. I like May. May I watch May pitch in May?
  5. No. I honestly wasn't expecting to be bitten. I turned and yelled and it immediately ran away.
  6. Honestly, I don't think it was trying to bite. It was barking at me, like it always does. It just got closer than what it normally can. I stopped by and talked with the owner to make sure it was up to date on its shots and it let me pet it with no problems.
  7. Hopefully starting Monday, Rosario heads to Rochester. Let Kepler or Walker have a shot for now.
  8. It was a mutt. Funny thing is that I've run by that house a hundred times. That dog always looks like it was to play. Turns out the battery on it's electric fence had died and it took a chunk out of my calf.
  9. I went for a run today.. got bit by a dog. And now I get here just in time for that.
  10. Castellanos .419 against RHP and .656 against the Twins... let's get some regression to the mean.
  11. common Ricky, let's get an out here and get QS.
  12. I'd be more worried about the other side here. The players get that money up front as soon as their shares are sold. It's the guys on the other end holding those contracts for 10 years who assume all the risk if Fantex were to go under.
  13. Well, if I pay for the wedding, she'd better not complain if that's what her present is.
  14. You've never played slow pitch softball.
  15. I'd think he'd need to shoot up the chain a bit before he has any real value, though I'm not sure I'd toss him in as a sweetener (unless of course the coaches simply think he won't make it)... But he's doing everything you want a college guy to do to the low minors. If he's raking in AA next year, then perhaps he is worth trading, though not needing to be on the 40 man for another two years, they can take the time figuring it out.
  16. At 15 in a weak draft, I doubt there's going to be much separation for BPA. If there's a clear BPA, by all means get him. That said, I would target ceiling, and since there's a wide range of people that could be drafted at 15, I'd probably target a few of the guys I really want there and see who cuts a decent enough deal to get some higher ceiling prep prospects.
  17. It's not tracked that I know of, but as a general rule of thumb, any wins and losses a closer has is likely a blown save as well. Blown saves are tracked for the record.
  18. I have to think Berrios will have the longer leash of Duffey/Meyer/Berrios simply b/c he was an early add to the 40 man and they won't plan on using an option unless he really blows it. I suspect Duffey and Meyer will head back to AAA unless they absolutely force something when Santana/Gibson return.
  19. Lamont Wade is starting to look like a steal. Hope keeps it up.
  20. I personally have no problems with PEDs that are used to recover from injury, especially if they are prescribed by a doctor and being documented and monitored carefully. That's a decision between the player and the doctor. Technically, I wouldn't classify that as performance enhancing... that's just healing.. now HGH, masking agents, and those things? I'd just assume MLB continue testing and keep that out. BTW, side note, but I have no problems with all of them being legal, separate issue, but at this point you do run into some of the real scenarios here where it forces people to do things to their bodies that have real nasty long term side effects....
  21. I'd agree, though he might be a better one to move this offseason, in part b/c he seems to be a guy who puts up good numbers after starting slow (and the overall line at the deadline won't look as good) and in part b/c I'm not quite sure how many SPs you want to unload in a month. We have some nice depth there, not to mention a lot of high minors talent, but it can become a major headache if we suddenly have 3 spots to fill, especially if Meyer and May remain in the pen for the forseable future.
  22. There actually is evidence out there that this planet was at one time a greenhouse. But your second part is just untrue
