    Let's not get lost in the weeds. In the big picture theyre still multiple pitchers away from playoff contention. If Erv keeps it up, I sure would like a nice haul of prospects to help make the next step toward being a playoff team.

    Given the choice, I'm hoping for the latter to be honest.

    It's always nice to plan ahead in life, but this ad I'm seeing for senior citizen independent living may be outside of my demographic....

    Uhhhhh, according to the TV broadcast, divide that number by 2... Then DOUBLE it. And divide it by 3 and that's the real attendance number.

    That K rate for Sano is frightening.... Says negative nancies 3 days ago.

    Haven't been following the thread but in case if this is due, Happy Birthday Mike!
  7. Vanimal46
    Thanks Bark! We convinced our cousins to move over to the bar area and watch the game to escape family drama happening in the next room over. Best decision we've made today!

    Might as well shut down the lights. Season's over. First pitch is a ball.
  9. Vanimal46
    Pretty much. It's my first time seeing these guys this year.. Bert also has new glasses I see.
  10. Vanimal46
    Twins game is on at VFW where post memorial is at.. Sano looks good with dreads!
  11. Vanimal46
    Not gonna be on here today as it's my uncle's memorial service... 59 is too early to go and cancer is a *****... Have no fear, the Twins will win today because my uncle would want a win on this day. Enjoy opening day everyone.

    Vargas has a long ways to go to prove he could be a full time DH. I doubt he's on this team next season. Park's projection is aggressive. Hope you're right. If Grossman is hitting at a .676 OPS clip, then he shouldn't get 200 ABs and should be released. His defense was/is horrendous. If he doesn't match his offensive performance last year he has negative value on this team.
  13. Vanimal46
    A near .800 OPS is too aggressive for my taste. He's still young and learning. Maybe in the next year or 2 he reaches that level. This year I'm predicting 450 PA, .700-.725 OPS with 15 HR.
  14. Vanimal46
    Agree with Dave and Mike that Buxton will be a 4 WAR player this season. A lot of it will come from his elite defense... It's going to be fun tracking his progression. I still think he's going to have some slumps which will decrease the numbers overall. .725-.750 OPS, 18 HR, 14 Web Gems on Baseball Tonight.
  15. Vanimal46
    This just in: 32 year old who was one of the best hitters we've ever seen doesn't live up to enormous FA contract. Color me shocked.
  16. Vanimal46
    It's just not the same as a Dome Dog...
  17. Vanimal46
    No doubt. No regrets from the moment he was traded to the Angels from me. I'll bet the under that Meyer has 50.5 career MLB starts.
  18. Vanimal46
    Doesn't surprise me at all he was sent down because he is inconsistent. We saw that for 4 years before finally cutting bait.
  19. Vanimal46
    Couldn't agree more about the starting pitching mess... Many of us were clamoring for help in the rotation and bullpen. Instead they went with the same route that TR took. Signing mediocre placeholders and crossing fingers that one of these days the RP prospects make their way to Minnesota.
  20. Vanimal46
    Good point. My perspective was that Levine is focused on the present short term. Falvey is focused on the big picture long term outlook. Could be wrong.
  21. Vanimal46
    Unfortunately we won't know who they would choose if Adrianza didn't get hurt. You know my thoughts on D Santana.... All things being equal and Adrianza was healthy, if they still chose Santana I would be angry.
  22. Vanimal46
    I mean, honestly he may actually be the only starter I care to watch at the moment.
  23. Vanimal46
    I mentioned this in a thread yesterday and firmly believe this... We wouldn't be talking about D Santana making the 25 man roster if Adrianza didn't get hurt. I think this glitch will be fixed as soon as he's off the DL. The Gimenez move is baffling. Not sure why they don't trust JRM in a backup role. Carrying 13 pitchers IMO is because there is minimal trust that Santiago, Hughes, or Mejia can make it 5 innings in a regular season start.
  24. Vanimal46
    Agreed. I'll be interested to see if they do make a waiver claim or 2 in April while they have top priority.
  25. Vanimal46
    Concur. This was my exact thoughts reading the article. Not a lot of trust that Hughes or Santiago will pitch 6+ innings.
