    6th overall pick in 2015 is not worthwhile to stash on the 40 man... What a shame.

    People in sports sure know how to spin the word 'rebuilding' into a positive these days... If they're not competing for a playoff spot, they're rebuilding. Evidently now the Twins are 'building' and the Gophers football team is in 'Year 1 of building.' So positive!

    Yeah I agree they are the powerhouse that won't go away. There's value in having your FB credentials integrate with tons of apps. Saves me the time from signing up and trying to remember what my login/password is for Candy Crush and stuff like that.

    Thoughts on Facebook? They hit their lowest stock price since January 2017 today.

    One bargain bin SP I'm interested in is Matt Harvey. I wanted the Twins to pick him up when he was waived by the Mets and he had a good rebound stint in Cincinnati.

    Currently watching Wild Wild Country on Netflix... So far so good! The documentary is based only 3 hrs away from you Mike!

    Maybe firing the DC lit a fire under the players... Only gave up 88 rushing yards all game! I'm pretty sure Illinois had more rushing yards in their first 4 attempts last week.

    If there's one thing the Twins are consistently good at it's plugging in unknown players at closer successfully. I don't think they need to specifically sign someone for the 9th inning. But they do need 2-3 guys who can handle the high leverage situations in the 7-8th innings.

    There is more competition not to be competitive than trying to compete next season... Ironic, don't you think?

    Sad day... Enjoy retirement Joe.

    I am still not a true believer in the strategy UNLESS it's used to help ease in a rookie pitcher. It looked like the strategy helped Kohl Stewart become comfortable under the big lights. There are a lot of questions that haven't been answered with this strategy... When do you graduate a pitcher from primary to a traditional SP? Are they just a primary pitcher forever?

    The landscape is changing across the US. Austin has doubled in size in the last 10 years. Same with Charlotte... I do agree with thrylos' other point that they need to figure out relocation first over expansion. The 2 Florida teams have no fan base and no player willing to sign there. Oakland has been playing in a dump for far too long.
  13. Vanimal46
    The off-season is here, and expansion talk is in the air... https://deadspin.com/mlb-expansion-is-probably-inevitable-but-where-and-whe-1830100867 The usual cities are being named as potential spots for new teams... Portland, Montreal, Charlotte. San Antonio was mentioned in the article and said combined with Austin they would have a major network. I can tell you this, very few, if any from Austin would make the drive. Traffic on 35 is an absolute nightmare.

    Good. Needed to happen. Fleck needs to hire an established former HC to run the defense.
  15. Vanimal46
    I would. We've seen every trade deadline bullpen arms are in high demand. If the Twins season goes pear shaped again, they can always trade him for other prospects.
  16. Vanimal46
    I don't think anyone expects this blueprint to happen. Is it okay with you for some of us to dream in one thread?
  17. Vanimal46
    Donaldson is one of the biggest boom/bust free agents out there this year. The Twins should be willing to take that chance. There's only 1-2 players on roster right now that could boom to a star level. Donaldson has shown he's a star if healthy.
  18. Vanimal46
    Love it!
  19. Vanimal46
    It's just one person who told you that so you should let it go and move on. Everyone else is saying the same things you are.
  20. Vanimal46
    Well, we're making progress knowing this D coordinator needs to go immediately after the season. And I think if Fleck is going to make it in a power conference he needs to hire a former head coach or 2 to lead both units.
  21. Vanimal46
    We all could have. Illinois had enough time to drive a Mack semi through the running lanes they created yesterday.
  22. Vanimal46
    The defense is embarrassing... After this game I don't think they win the rest of the season.
  23. Vanimal46
    This organization's had a top 5 farm system for more years than they've been a top 5 MLB team.
  24. Vanimal46
    I'd prefer to aim higher even if it looks like we're set in the OF... Similar to what Milwaukee did. I respect your take though. I agree they need 2-3 really good bullpen arms, a legit SP, middle IF, and someone who can play both 1B/3B.
  25. Vanimal46
    It also prevents the team from signing someone better in the OF. I'm not gambling on this guy being as lucky in 2019 as he clearly was in 2018.
