    Couple of goodies to end the week on.... Today is National Caregiver Day! That really is a thankless job, and for all that those professionals deal with, probably don't get paid enough either. Thank you for all that you do. Today is also National Eyelash Day! Pros: They keep stuff out of your eye Cons: Sometimes they get in your eye. That's the worst feeling when you get an eyelash stuck in your eye wearing contacts.... Today is also National Chocolate Mint Day! I love chocolate mint ice cream.... Thin Mints Girl Scout cookies.... holy buckets now I want some.

    Slightly off topic relating to your interest in scotch, would you say that's an acquired taste that you've gained over the years? Did you always know that you liked scotch? I can drink vodka, rum, and wine like water but have not been able to find a scotch that I enjoy.... or maybe it's because I haven't acquired the taste for it yet.

    Let's always remember that Punto had 123 bunt attempts, and 48 bunt hits during his Twins career. GOAT? As a bunter, potentially. Let's find a spot for Punto to join the team as Bunt Specialist....

    Do you have some picky eaters on your hand? I must have driven my mother crazy as a young child because I was the pickiest eater on the planet. Luckily I broke out of that habit, and now I'm basically a garbage disposal...

    Thank you, just something that came off the top of my head. All options are great, depending on what you're seeking. Not having to cook every night is amazing... A massage therapist would keep you feeling good every day.... And I've always thought if I made obscene amounts of money, one of my first purchases would be a driver so I'd never have to deal with the stress of rush hour traffic again.

    Today's question off the top of my head..... Chef, Masseuse, or Chauffeur? Congratulations! You really killed it at work, and as a reward for your dedication, your company has given you the opportunity to win a prize! You have the choice between 3 options, and no matter what you choose, it will be free, unlimited service for the next 6 months. Your first choice is to get a chef to prepare your meals. The second choice is to have a personal masseuse to relieve any tensions you have from a long day at the office. And the third choice is a chauffeur, so you never have to worry about driving you and your significant other around the town. Which option would you choose for your prize?

    To answer the question from yesterday, Mike brings up a very valid point. Money talks, and I'd love nothing more than lots and lots of money. However, I'm choosing the hitting streak. Very few have come within 10 games of that nearly unbreakable 56 game hitting streak, and your legacy could carry you a long way, even past retirement.

    I will certainly be celebrating this holiday tonight, as my day is already off to a bad start. Speaking of wine, There was an article released the other day that my generation the millennials drank nearly half of all wine in the US ..... I contributed to that cause.

    I'm glad you brought up this point. Because this IMO is what it all boils down to with this bullpen. The reason why there's frustration on both sides of the fence. This philosophy was discussed at length on TD this offseason, and I'm not sure if TR has publicly mentioned this philosophy as well. But I'm of the belief this is why the Twins sat out of the RP market this off-season. Some people buy in on the philosophy and think it's best to build within the organization. Some people do not buy in and think it's a stubborn move to not consider a 2-3 year contract for a RP. Regardless, the people that bought in to this philosophy won, and hopefully they are right. Otherwise the team's going to be in the same position they were in last year, desperate to trade for anyone to help in the pen.

    I'm jumping in a little late here. For those on the side of the fence saying they're happy the Twins didn't jump into the FA market and overpay for a reliever, what makes you believe this isn't the going rate from now on? The market took a little longer to catch up for relievers to start cashing in more, and the Royals + others have shown that relievers in every role are a valuable piece to a pitching staff. $5-6 mill a year could very well be the new norm for average to above average RP. Are the Twins going to sit out every FA period going forward because they refuse to accept this fact?

    My interpretation of that scene is an example of Saul not letting anyone tell him what he can and can not do anymore. I think back to his conversation at the ticket gate with Mike when he said "I know what held me back (from running off with the Kettleman's money) and I'm never going to let it happen again." And that scene stems off of that thought.

    I just got an exclusive interview with Kansas City Royals GM Dayton Moore after reading this report... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aot3MyQJUOY

    Mr. Cwik must have the same grading philosophy as my old economics professor in college. Most will fail, very few will get an A...

    I would be interested in Greg Holland as a bullpen piece for 2017. Idk if it's even possible, but if there's a way to pay him the minimum salary this year while he recovers from TJ; a huge incentive laden contract for 2017, potentially 2018, I'd be on board.
  15. Vanimal46
    I will say I'm glad Jimmy at one point in time did make it in a big time law firm before he ventured off to being Saul Goodman... I'm very excited to see the breaking point for him and why he became who we saw on Breaking Bad.
  16. Vanimal46
    Yeah I get where your heads at, and I'm on the other side of .500, the 76-80 win window. We're not that far off from our predictions which will make my friendly wager with gunnarthor interesting. A $15 12 pack is an easy price to pay for 6 months of entertainment.
  17. Vanimal46
    You, or anyone else care to wager on this? A 12 pack of craft beer of your choice + shipping and handling to the winner? I'll take the under at 80.5.
  18. Vanimal46
    Or Twins Daily would idolize you for some how getting a hit in 57+ straight games!

    You guys don't want to break a record that's been holding strong for 75 years?

    Triple Crown or Hitting Streak? Congratulations! You've made it to the big show on your favorite team, the Minnesota Twins! You have your best year ever playing baseball, and have the choice between 2 prestigious awards.... You can be a triple crown winner! Chicks dig the long ball, and by god, you're one of the best in the league at doing so. In fact, you post numbers that mirror Miguel Cabrera in 2012 - .330 44 HR 140 RBI .999 OPS. Your other choice, is not as sexy as a triple crown. You're primarily a singles hitter, and only manage a .256 BA, .656 OPS, but you break Joe DiMaggio's 56 game hitting streak in the ugliest fashion possible.. Your hits are choppers off home plate, texas leaguers, and dribblers down the 3rd base line. Would you rather win the Triple Crown, or have mediocre stats but break the hitting streak record?

    We're running out of interesting HYPERtheticals written by Klosterman. So I'm going to create a baseball related hyperthetical off the top of my head... Hold on.

    To answer the question from yesterday, I would say yes and do the Dream DVR, but like north said, have a disclaimer at the beginning saying these characters are fictional and poorly impersonated versions of friends/acquaintances/family members. To be honest I'm just curious as to what the heck I dream about too, if any at all.
  23. Vanimal46
    The Indians seem to have been the hot sleeper name in Feb/March the last 2-3 years.. I believe in their pitching staff, and Lindor from my SSS of watching him looks like the real deal. I said it in the White Sox thread, but you can make cases for any team in this division to finish in 1st, and just as many cases for any team to finish in last. Cleveland's no different.
  24. Vanimal46
    Believe me, you're one of many (including me) on this site that felt it was time to see if Sano can play 3B. Hopefully by the trade deadline or in 2017 we'll see that happen. In the mean time, we're stuck watching Sano play at a position he's never played before in his life.

    Unless things change, Meyer's coming into ST looking to earn a spot in the MLB bullpen. His ceiling and floor have certainly changed since 3-4 years ago if that's going to be his new role.
