    Oh boy. Game changer for this team! /s

    I'm glad this heated topic has a conclusion. Of course not all are going to agree with it, but the MLB did its due diligence and here we are. Thank God Twitter isn't a judge, jury, and executioner. Because Sano would have been burned at the stake back in December.

    Congrats Tom! You've really made an impact here! You deserve it.

    Clearly we're planning on winning by 7+ runs a lot this year!

    I'm guessing the infamous Tim Stauffer mop up role.
  6. Vanimal46
    Mentioning Johan Santana and Tyler Kinley in the same thought is as preposterous as it gets.
  7. Vanimal46
    As he should. And I hope the Twins are the ones paying him.

    I'm not sure if he knows every prospect gunning for his job. He certainly knows Nick Gordon from spring training this season. All I can think of is personal experience in sports. The senior knew I was working extremely hard as a sophomore to start over him. And vice versa. I knew the sophomore wanted to start over me when I was a senior.
  10. Vanimal46
    Well yeah. They probably liked him in a utility role getting 200-ish PAs. It's a different story playing him every day.
  11. Vanimal46
    Right. So we're supposed to feel bad for Dominicans not knowing any better because they're in poverty. What about Billy Johnson (hypothetical name) that grew up dirt poor in Taylor, Mississippi? He didn't know any better right? What about Tommy Johnson that grew up in Edina, MN and had everything handed to him on a silver platter. He definitely should know better than to take PEDs to get ahead in life.
  12. Vanimal46
    I guess it's possible that an Icarus situation is going on in baseball. But it's preposterous to think they let some players slide and only targeting Dominicans with the suspensions. Otherwise we have something much, much worse on our hands.

    Like Jerr, he gets zero sympathy from me. You're a professional athlete in a league with a crystal clear list of banned substances. It's his responsibility to know exactly what he's taking. Polanco was probably looking for an edge knowing Gordon, Lewis, and Javier are gunning for his spot on the team in the near future.
  14. Vanimal46
    I don't know. Are you a previously scrawny professional baseball player?
  15. Vanimal46
    Adrianza will be exposed with more PAs. A league average bat is a very rosy picture. I'm expecting Pedro Florimon type production from him. I'm way more interested in Nick Gordon seizing the opportunity and taking over at SS full-time. Throughout the offseason I've been beating the drum of trading Gordon+ for an impact SP. I don't like cheaters like Polanco. So let's trade him instead.

    High school kids destroying their bodies for the slim chance of playing college sports... Sad. really.
  17. Vanimal46
    Polanco added 20 pounds over the off-season working with this trainer... If that doesn't scream 'test me now' I don't know what does. Regardless, his size shouldn't matter. He cheated and got caught.
  18. Vanimal46
    Rules that 99% of players have no problem following.
  19. Vanimal46
    The window is open for you, Nick Gordon. Let's hope you get hot in AAA and earn a quick promotion. I'm pretty disgusted with Polanco right now. I wouldn't be opposed to trading him after his suspension is over.
  20. Vanimal46
    Wow. Terrible news. Very disappointed in Polanco.

    Good luck to Vargas. I just don't see him getting 500+ PAs in the MLB. To me it's made sense for over a year that he makes his way to Korea or Japan. He could be a folk hero there hitting 40+ HRs and try his luck again in a year or 3.
  23. Vanimal46
    Agreed. If he lays off more back door benders he'll be good. He was starting to do so in the first half last year. Then he was pressing a little bit once he went into a slump and swung at those pitches again.
  24. Vanimal46
    I'm bullish on Sano... He'll be an All Star again, play 140+ games, and hit the ball extremely hard.
  25. Vanimal46
    I'd give up very little. It was fine to take a chance on someone with triple digit velocity potential in ST. It's a different story bringing him north for the season. You and others laid out the reality of Kinley. 27 years old, no track record of success above AA, most likely 12 on the depth chart. I've seen enough Hooey/Tonkin types... He needs more than a 97 MPH fastball.
