    Happy Friday! Today is National Beverage Day! There's a lot of ways to celebrate this day... Alcoholic drinks, non-alcoholic drinks, singing beverage related songs... The world is your oyster! Today is also National Nurses Day! Even though I may hate them when they try to insert a 5 inch needle inside me, they're just doing their job. Thank you for all that you do! Today is also National Provider Appreciation Day! In this day and age, both parents have to work full-time jobs... In that case, child care providers are a very important piece to their lives. Thank you for all that you do! I'll also say thank you for the providers to older parents too! You deserve to get in on this day. Finally, today is Twins Daily National Vanimal Day! I made it around the sun 1 more time guys!

    It certainly depends on who they call up when the dust settles.. For now I'm going off the recent news of Chargois and someone else.. If it's Mastro then I'll be right there, pitchfork in hand...

    For those commenting that Milone could have been traded for a C level prospect; Would it really have made you happy that a C level prospect was here in March over Milone? IMO it wouldn't have mattered either way... It was a fair assessment to be critical that Fien and Milone were re-upped during the offseason. I was one of them who didn't agree with the decisions. The reality is TR & Company believed this was a playoff contending team in December. Clearly it didn't happen... The good thing is they seem to understand what position they're in this year: rebuilding. Let's see the young guys play.

    Very well said, Nick. The good thing is they are now changing the plan, and realize who they are; in a rebuilding year. This is a good start to letting the youth movement happen.

    You're too kind Always! Keep it up and there may be a Lead Intern job opening soon...

    What do you mean how were Mike's Margaritas? I'm still enjoying one as we speak! Luckily we found a new studio across the street from a bar!

    Thank you for the call, Bark. I couldn't have explained the situation on this site better than that. It's an EPIDEMIC! We're all people that share the same interest... To watch a successful team, and enjoy a World Series title! I'm a lover, not a fighter, Bark. I don't want to see a civil war! In times of crisis, what we really need is a HERO! Who can save us from this madness? Someone who can straddle the line between Justice and insanity and carry out a never ending crusade. Someone who can UNITE Fanatics and Fandom! Negativity Police! The world of TD needs you!

    ANNND Welcome Back! The Program Director gave me a firm warning that our audience will certainly take this show off the air with that last question. And I need this job! If you're curious in my top 3, ask me off the air... Who's next on Minnesota Twins Whine Line, intern?
  9. Vanimal46
    You bring up a great segway, Dinger! Who's buns do you want to see in steam and why?! We'll take cal... Wait. The Program Director says cut to commer....

    I remember the name Armenteros over the winter, and I'm still very intrigued by him. Kevin Maitan touted as a "Once in a Generation" prospect? I think there's room on the team for one of those... And the 2 16 year old C's of course.
  11. Vanimal46
    I was worried the team wouldn't be able to find a Blaine Boyer clone, but it looks like we found one!
  12. Vanimal46
    That looks like a delicious recipe too! Did you end up baking margarita cupcakes?

    With how this season is going, that would be my preference to acquire high upside low minors players. If this team was contending, I think they could ease the 40 man logjam concerns going forward by packaging a few of them for immediate MLB contributors..
  14. Vanimal46
    Yeah if I remember correctly, one of the things teams were scared off from was Cook being a 5th year SR and not being elected as one of the captains on the team. Who knows if there's any merit to it, or if it's just NFL teams over reacting.

    I think it's safe to say McShay hasn't watched a second of Gopher football... For those like me who are too cheap to buy Insider, his write-up on Leidner is also found on Twitter... He projects him to go 25th overall to the Dallas Cowboys: "Leidner shows some upside as a passer, but I'll be looking to see if he can improve his accuracy (59.5% completion rate and 14/11 TD/INT ratio is 2015). Listed at 6'4" and 237 lbs, Leidner has ideal size and has shown the ability to make plays with his legs off designed runs and scrambles. He's a late riser to keep an eye on, similar to Blake Bortles and Carson Wentz. http://cdn3.sbnation.com/imported_assets/1553645/funny-gif-Steve-Carell-laughing.gif

    If Park continues to prove that he belongs, probably not. It doesn't look like there will ever be a clear path for Vargas at 1B or DH, since there's 1 more year on Mauer's contract, Park, and assuming that Sano's eventually ending up at 1B in 2018. EDIT: Correction - 2 years left on Mauer's contract

    The 2 DFA's that come to mind are Dean and Fien... They could be casualties once the trade deadline rolls around. If anything, I'd try to find a way to balance out the 40 man roster. There's not a ton of positional flexibility as we've seen already. When the super utility guy goes down, there's not a ton of realistic options to call up. 22 pitchers IMO is too many to have on a 40 man, and not all of these players are going to have a future with this team. A couple of players they need to figure out their future with the organization: - JR Graham - - Taylor Rogers - is he the #9 org starter? Would they ever give him a chance to be a LOOGY? - Ryan O'Rourke - could Melotakis or Rogers take over his role in the pen?

    Encouraging to read that Jay bounced back nicely after getting roughed up the last time he was on the hill.

    Hola amigos y amigas! Happy Cinco de Mayo! Mike's Famous Margaritas: 4 parts of your favorite tequila 2 parts orange liqueur 1 part lime juice Today is also National Astronaut Day! Can we get launched into space to avoid the last 4 months of the baseball season? Today is also National Hoagie Day! IMO it's all about the bread when it comes to making a great sandwich. French bread ranks right up there on my all-time favorites for making sandwiches.. Finally, today is National Cartoonists Day! I feel like this is a dying art.. Whenever I check out the comics in the newspaper these days, I'm not as impressed. Calvin and Hobbes is my all-time favorite comic strip, so Bill Watterson has to be on my list of favorite cartoonists.. Charles M. Schultz was brilliant as well with the Peanuts comic strips.. Who was/is your favorite cartoonist?

    He's a little bit older at 27 years old, and from what I've read can play "adequate" 2B... Probably not much 3B in his MLB future. However, a guy like him could really balance out a lineup like the Twins if he's a high on-base guy. I'd be on board to sign him.

    North, this is why your brilliance is needed on this show! We were so tunnel-visioned thinking about the preparation of a hot dog. The bun plays a significant part in a good dog, and for me, I love a grilled bun.. You'll never worry about a soggy bun again!
  22. Vanimal46
    I appreciate the assignment, but that still may be a little too much work. Can I volunteer for Nick Gordon's MLB stats? That should give me a 2-3 year window of preparation.
  23. Vanimal46
    If Tim Stauffer lasted until June, well.... Granted he was injured for a bit.
  24. Vanimal46
    Sometimes even the host doesn't know what kind of show this is. That's the beauty of it!
  25. Vanimal46
    I like the way you're thinking here! How exhausting would it be to be a Mauer guy these days? I couldn't handle it...
