    The Raley add is redundant as the 40 man currently stands today. Pretty good bet 1 or 2 corner OFs are traded this winter. Jax is probably the only other player who will get selected in the rule 5 draft. Javier sticks and hopefully makes the decision more difficult next year.

    Luke Raley, Dakota Chalmers, Jhoan Duran, Gilberto Celestino, and Travis Blankenhorn were the adds. Raley is redundant given the current status of the 40. Makes me think there will be a corner OF or 2 traded this winter.

    For a buy low player I'd look at Givens from Baltimore. Good stuff but hasn't been able to harness it. I'd trade one of the many rule 5 eligible prospects for him.
  4. Vanimal46
    That also requires the bad teams somehow developing these very raw players. Javier would be horrendous as an MLB player next year. Horrendous.

    The Cinderella run to the final 4 playoffs may be over... But there's still a lot to play for. I'd love to see them play in the B1G championship game.
  6. Vanimal46
    Win win all around! Hard not to love this development.

    I posted in another thread I'm interested in Hamels if he's willing to do a Nelson Cruz like contract. 1 year + option year at a lower rate than the first year. At the very worst he could be cut if prospects show they're ready for prime time.

    Yep. We've seen so many lean years of Gopher football. This year has been a blast to watch. I was a little skeptical of PJ Fleck's schtick at the beginning, but he is the real deal.

    The Twins need to invest in a bullpen regardless. I was bothered before about Odorizzi's inability to pitch deep into ballgames... Then I realized the innings he does pitch are usually really good. He doesn't give up crooked numbers, and keeps the team in the game on most of his starts. There's a lot of value in a pitcher who can give you 5-6 good innings every 5 games.

    Yeah. I find it hard to believe some team is going to show urgency in getting Gibson signed, given his health situation. If he's healthy, I'm sure the Twins will be one of the first teams to know and they can go from there.

    Poor Max Kepler... He was discussed 3 years in a row to break out. Now that he played better he's a regression candidate

    Step 4: ??? Step 5: Profit!
  13. Vanimal46
    Now I'm curious if Tracy Claeys would have done the same if his teams made it to 9-0...
  14. Vanimal46
    Hopefully top 10!

    I about had a heart attack... Row the boat!!!!!

    Penn State gets a gift TD. That was a clear delay of game.
  17. Vanimal46
    This is his statement game for sure. No doubt the best QB possibly in my lifetime for the Gophers. But that's not saying much. Abdul-Khaliq was the high mark before.
  18. Vanimal46
    Bateman 7 catches 203 yards through 3 quarters... I think he is the most talented player to wear maroon and gold since Laurence Maroney.
  19. Vanimal46
    Stop running and keep throwing the ball. Penn State has no answer for Johnson and Bateman.
  20. Vanimal46
    Row the boat!!!

    TCF Bank is sold out! Gonna be an electric atmosphere.
  22. Vanimal46
    You're one of Sid Hartman's close, personal friends?!! Also, Sid Hartman can still golf at 99 years old? In all seriousness, I am in agreement with you this offseason, which is a refreshing change! $140-150 is a good target to achieve for a payroll. It wouldn't bother me if they started the season below that threshold, and save $5-10 million for in-season acquisitions.

    KLaw chat yesterday: John: Do you think Odorizzi gets signed to a long term deal with the draft pick penalty or is he a player better off taking the QO? Keith Law: I would be concerned if he doesn’t get a long-term deal. That would feel suspicious to me.
  24. Vanimal46
    Concur with all you typed. I'm perfectly fine going year to year with all of these players. There are too many question marks that we don't know yet to assess their value.
  25. Vanimal46
    I remember when Yu Darvish was going to sign on the west coast because that had the most Japanese food options...
