    Very hesitant about giving Santiago $10 million. With that kind of money, he'll be in the rotation all season long, no matter the results.

    RB's birthday is so special that the morning news team went to interview him this morning! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAUn3A4QtaI

    Your most memorable birthday stories, Go!

    Happy birthday RB!

    Kershaw is amazing and a true pleasure to watch on the field. It's a sight to behold when someone has that dominant of stuff to go with impeccable control of his pitches.

    Those were his 2016 SS numbers. Quite frankly his numbers aren't all that different from 2015. Slight uptick in the routine plays from 96.1 (2016) to 98.5% (2015) and a decline in the likely plays 69.2% (2016) 58.3% (2015)

    Out of curiosity I wanted to see Escobar's numbers from Fangraphs and compare it to Polanco... Routine: 96.1% (of 203) ----- Polanco: 96.9% (of 98) Likely: 69.2% (of 13) ----- Polanco: 80% (of 5) Even: 33.3% (of 9) ------ Polanco: 42.9% (of 7) Unlikely: 0% (of 1) ------ Polanco: 25.0% (of 4) Remote: 0% (of 9) --------- Polanco: 0% (of 12) Impossible: 0% (of 2) ---------- Polanco: 0% (of 3) Over the same amount of reps, perhaps Polanco's numbers regress. But just looking at it, there doesn't appear to be too far of a decline in defense if they do choose Polanco to handle SS duties. I may be analyzing this wrong, so feel free to correct if I am.

    Is phrasing still out of the rotation?

    Nice! Wow that guy is extremely young, 33 years old. "Bloom’s background with the Rays is multi-faceted but involves working with the team’s player development department, contract negotiations, player evaluation and international scouting." I'm very intrigued with this guy.

    Maybe AA and Cherington checked out the glassdoor reviews online for the Twins and said "nopenopenope"

    I hope you're taking advantage driving around town topless today! Not too many warm days left in Chicago to do so!

    It's also tough to picture a new hair style when you've perfected the look for 30 years... http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HfagSCuoQYA/UDuQ4yKJQlI/AAAAAAAAHsM/P9xH6vcG0T8/s1600/mullet1.jpg+w=196&h=300.jpg

    Could you imagine Cleveland winning a basketball and baseball championship in the same year? Especially after going 50+ years without winning anything. If that were to happen, the old saying "when it rains, it pours" will ring true.

    Hell, even payments for me are DH'd. Auto-payments are a great thing.
  15. Vanimal46
    Yeah it took going to 3-4 different people at first before I found the right stylist. Now I've been going to her for a year and a half. She knows how to cut it the usual style, and whenever I feel like a change, she knows of good ones to try out too!

    Just recently learned how to replace the battery in my car! Woke up on Saturday morning 2 weeks ago planning on meeting a friend at the golf course, only to find out the car battery was toast. Attempting to jump the car did nothing. General Motors does a hell of a job hiding the car battery under the hood....

    A nice comfort in life is when you can go to the same guy or woman for a haircut. Completely eliminates the "How do you want it cut?" question! And also eliminates the awkward small talk with random hair stylists.

    Someone will see that as a positive. There's a job out there for everyone as they say.... AA hasn't had the experience building an entire front office/scouting/evaluation department before. Maybe the tasks are too daunting for a person like him.
  19. Vanimal46
    The search firm most likely knew and made it clear to the Twins that Cherington was interviewing for other teams... A couple of things could have happened: - The Twins sat on him too long without any movement, resulting in Cherington moving on to the Blue Jays. - The search firm working with Cherington saw the position and responsibilities he was interviewing for with the Blue Jays and realized this was a step up compared to the opportunity presented with the Twins, and withdrew him from the interview process.

    This organization not moving fast enough to interview quality candidates when they've known for 3 months that TR was being let go makes my head explode.
  21. Vanimal46
    They are better than the auto-play ads before, and not messing with the user experience on the site so far. I'll pay attention more to the ads, but I'm seeing ads for Sling TV and SquareSpace right now.

    If the Twins are out of the race, by default I cheer for the underdogs. In the AL, I'll be cheering for the Indians and the Blue Jays. I've been jealous of the Indians rotation for a couple of years now. In the NL, I'll go with the cliche answer of the Cubs. I'm tired of seeing the Giants, Cardinals, and Dodgers continuously in the mix.

    Unfortunately there doesn't appear to be a Harper/Strasburg no brainer #1 pick in 2017. Of course that could change, and I'm not actively searching for 2017 draft prospects yet. God, the Twins can't even tank right!! Your line at the end is what's most important to most, I would imagine. If the front office goes outside and re-calibrates the structure, I'll be happy with that kind of progress.

    They wanted to.. But then they realized it takes science and math to build a wall too! As a consolation prize, we are disguising all scientists as college football players. That way they can get so concussed all science knowledge will be gone.

    I'm 3 weeks off from my scheduled trip back to MN... Hopefully next year I'll be able to make it!
