For the zombies that are mindless shuffling machines, that's going to give me more time to come up with a plan... I live in an area with lots of bars and restaurants, so I'm holding up shop in there while I wait for the zombies to arrive. While I wait, I learn how to be a true Texan: shoot first, ask questions later. I'll have food, booze, and water from the bars and restaurants, and sleep on a booth seat behind the bar. For the zombies that are freakishly fast, I'm running as fast as I can. I'd have to some how Macgyver a defense mechanism on the front of my SUV with hockey sticks to hold off those zombies... As much as I'd hate to do it, I'd have to get the hell out of the city, and find a place in the sticks of Texas until the apocalypse settles down some.

You're right Always, that may be too big of an assumption to make. We all have different standards of clean.... I like to believe we all brush our teeth every now and again.
-
Before I answer the zombie question, can I get a clarification? What kind of zombies are we dealing with? The shuffling, mindless kind of zombie, or the ridiculously fast, climb over walls kind of zombie? Your answer will significantly influence my answer...
-
Well one good thing that came out of this is now we know the people we write to on this forum are clean, civilized people....
-
Sounds like you may be on the fence... What if Dove bumped it up to $50k?
-
Hmm, very interesting. I had no idea shampoo was that bad for your hair.. I would have thought it would be the complete opposite where your hair produces more oil if you don't use shampoo. Now I know, and knowing is half the battle... GI JOE.

Here's a ridiculous HYPERthetical of the day: Dove Contest Winner: Congratulations! You've been selected to participate in a study conducted by Dove Hair and Body Wash. In this study, you will be compensated $35k for your efforts.... The study is pretty simple. Dove wants to find out how well their product works for hygiene purposes. They are seeking the dirtiest, smelliest people on the planet to ensure their products work. In order to qualify for the payment, you have to go 2 months without washing your hair, using deodorant, or brushing your teeth. Would you go through with this study? If you are on the fence, what price would you need to be paid in order to go through with this study?

For all positions during that year.

You're really honing in on the fact that Arcia had a bad year last year. It's no secret that it was awful, but conveniently left out of your post is the fact he was a 20 HR hitter in 2014 and a career OPS of .741 in the MLB... I'm not the biggest fan of Arcia either, mainly because of his boneheaded plays in the field, but it's not like this kid's career is toast. You're also honing in on the fact that Nunez had his best year of his career last year, which is great for a utility player... But is it going to continue with extended playing time? Didn't work out too well for the Yankees. I also don't trust Nunez to be a defensive upgrade at the position even over Sano... SSS I know, but in his Twins career, he's had 21 starts at 3B with 5 errors. That doesn't scream confidence to me.
-
I found this trivia question ironic, because this is what Miguel Sano or ABW could be in the future.... Can you name the only player to win an MVP Award while leading the league in errors as fielder and strikeouts as a hitter?
-
Totally forgot to give the answer to the question I brought up: Who was the first player in All-Star game history to bat against the same pitcher 10 or more years apart? Bonus points if you can name the pitcher and years of the all star games. For those that guessed Rod Carew, you are correct! He had a PA against Tom Seaver in the 1968 and 1981 AS games...

TD Top Prospects: #9 Kohl Stewart
Vanimal46 replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
I had no idea Stewart is going through these issues. I'm no expert on diabetes but yes, that is a concern going forward. At 21 I hope he can still develop into an MLB pitcher, but it wouldn't surprise me if 5-10 years down the line there's a thread on this site titled "Remember Kohl Stewart? What's he up to these days?" -
I suppose I can see that. I think that's pretty tunnel visioned of the team to not promote versatility with their players, but it could be the case that they only want them to focus on one thing. I don't agree with your paragraph about raising the value of Trevor Plouffe. If Sano is indeed a FT OF, the depth on this team at 3B just dropped off a cliff. There's a very slim chance now that Plouffe is traded.
-
Yeah that was the dream of a great OF defense... But like drjim mentioned, unfortunately we didn't get to watch that dream OF defense much last year. I think once Hicks was traded we were dreaming of a Rosario-Buxton-Kepler OF defense by June/July at the latest. Now who knows....
-
This point was mentioned by RiverBrian, Brock, and others, and it's worth mentioning again. I just don't see the advantage of Molitor giving a statement like that. At the end of freaking February.... Even if it's not true, this is the time of year where it's supposed to be duckies and bunnies, "We have a ton of guys competing for every spot on the field, so much versatility in our lineup, blah blah blah." Why reveal your cards this early in the season?
-
When it comes to the book question, I'm answering this with the assumption that I'm the only one that knows how to read in the new world, and I have to be the one to read it to these people... I have no patience to explain the meaning of every word, so the first book is for sure a dictionary.... I'd also need a book on construction/survival, because once again, I'm the only one who knows how to read, and don't know the first thing about construction. Finally, I need a book with comic relief. If these people are illiterate, at least they can enjoy pictures/comic strips. IMO Calvin and Hobbes are one of the best comic strips of all-time, so I'm bringing that to entertain the folks.
-
What crowd at 3B? If Sano is indeed a FT OF, the depth all of a sudden becomes Plouffe and Nunez on the 40 man. If Plouffe unfortunately finds himself on the DL, it's going to be extremely disappointing to watch games with Nunez at 3B instead of Sano there...
-
Man I'm going to have to think about this. My first instinct are books I would not include in this list. I can say for certain I would leave all religious literature out of it, solely for the hope to prevent all of the wars, genocides, and conflicts that were caused by a difference in religious beliefs.... I'll get back to you with my titles.
-
Next up, Trevor Plouffe signs a 3 year extension. Will be 3B for foreseeable future. OHH BOY!!!!!!!!!!!
-
I don't think there's a wrong answer here. I'd probably go with the investment angle, but it would be hard to explain how a person born in 1990 made his first investment in the 1970s.... A small part of me would like to travel back to the time when I was heartbroken from my first girlfriend to let myself know you're going to be better for it. Now that I'm slightly (emphasis on slightly) more aware on cues from women, it'd also be nice to go back to the college days to slap myself and say hey dumb*** she likes you...
-
Those are all good questions Mike. Something to think about though. If you do go back to let's say 1932, before the Nazi regime came to power, would anyone believe you that the Holocaust is imminent? I would think you'd have to do something drastic like kill Hitler, or whoever you feel is going to lead that charge for genocide....
-
I think there's a good balance right now between Saul and Mike's stories. You're right that the more interesting story line is Mike right now, because we're seeing him dive deep into the world of working with drug dealers. It's going to be interesting to see when Saul officially "breaks" and transforms into the lawyer we know in BB.
-
Alright, here's one I made up off the top of my head: One-time Time Traveler: Holy buckets you did it! You finally made a working time machine, and it's completely fool-proof. You sent a dog back to 1931, and it returned with a newspaper from August 21, 1931. There's a catch with this time machine; it can only work one time, and anything more than one time will permanently alter your body and mind. So you have a choice: What are you going to do with your one-time opportunity to travel back in time? Do you try to alter mankind and kill baby Hitler? Do you go back and invest heavily in Apple/Macintosh in order to be obscenely rich today? Do you go back and help out a younger version of yourself? The choice is yours..... What are you going to do with your opportunity?
-
Yes, go for it. It'd be nice to be a contestant instead of a host.

I'm not understanding that logic at all. I think a guy like Cueto is a perfect signing to pair with the top prospects coming up in the system. All of them are at the cheapest rate they'll ever be in the MLB career, and by the time the prospects are due for their big pay day, Cueto's about to come off the books. I would think that someone like a Cueto takes pressure off guys like May, Berrios, Meyer, etc. because they don't have to come in and be a savior. Think of the lofty expectations we already have for Berrios to come in and be an ace.... because he's the team's only chance at having an ace. So if the prospects don't develop as planned unlike what you proposed for 2018, what then? Do the Twins always stay on the sidelines until a guardian angel speaks to TR that this is the right time to make a move?
