    I'm getting a Taylor Rogers vibe reading about Thorpe. Maybe he's on the short call up list for the bullpen considering it wasn't addressed in FA or trades.

    Yaaaaas!

    His stats were bad in Korea last year. 6.26 ERA in 129 innings. Brock Beauchamp is going to be thrilled!

    After both championship games went into OT I had a feeling this game would be a let down. The football gods wouldn't bless us with 3 awesome games in a row. The commercials became very corporate this year. No one wanted to take the chance offending people. Usually Doritos has a funny ad every year and their commercial was terrible. The NFL commercial with all of the legends past and present tackling each other I guess was the best one? This is definitely the worst super bowl to watch since the year Seattle destroyed the Broncos by 35 points.

    I bet all of the teams that signed a McVay protege as HC are thinking they made a huge mistake this morning after the genius got out coached by Belichick...

    I enjoy a good chess match defensive game, but this was not one of those games. The only strategy LA could do is "Should we punt the ball 40, 50, or 60 yards this time?"

    I think you're selling Gonsalves too short if you think he was only worth a Blake Parker while on national publication top 100 lists. Good, established MLB players are traded for top 100 prospects all the time.
  8. Vanimal46
    Situations like this with Gordon and Gonsalves is exactly why I'm in favor of trading prospects for established MLB talent 9 times out of 10. Minor leaguers have a peak value prior to reaching the majors. Gordon and Gonsalves' peak was 2 years ago when they were on top 100 prospect lists. IMO Kirilloff is at his peak right now.

    https://deadspin.com/mlbs-luxury-tax-became-a-salary-cap-because-of-decades-1832200596 I concur with many things in this article.
  10. Vanimal46
    That's how the players are going to fight back for now, through arbitration... Harper, Machado, Donaldson, etc. set the bar to earn substaintial raises that way.

    What was your favorite Polar Vortex moment? I see it's going to be a balmy 20 degrees tomorrow in Minneapolis! And 22 degrees in ChiTown!
  12. Vanimal46
    The luxury tax threshold is basically the cap since teams don't want to pay past that number. What's more important IMO is a salary floor.
  13. Vanimal46
    There's always one person every year on this team where we have this type of argument. "He's only making $3-5 million. They can cut bait quickly." In reality, that person always sticks around the club until July at least. They don't cut bait quickly on anyone making more than a couple of million.
  14. Vanimal46
    The system is deep, I get that. However, I'm not exactly thrilled that Pressly was traded for people who rank 19 and 16 in the system.
  15. Vanimal46
    They've got a pretty sweet gig, don't they? They can engage in double speak all offseason, get praised for any trade and signing they make, and no accountability to win 2 full years into their roles.
  16. Vanimal46
    Sure, I would too in an ideal world. What young stud pitcher is rumored to be available for trade?
  17. Vanimal46
    They have no value, yet playoff contenders trade for them every year. Something doesn't jive with that statement. I bet if the Twins are in the playoff hunt in July/August, they'll make a trade for a LOOGY or 2. Also, a dozen relievers out there right now you're interested in? Still? Names please.
  18. Vanimal46
    What a great return for Zach Duke. Someone who's DFA'd within a calendar year of the trade.
  19. Vanimal46
    Because it's very hard to fill every hole all at once. I don't believe in the self fulfilling prophecy that this team can't fill holes long term because other holes aren't filled. Realmuto is under control for 2 more seasons, and it's not against the rules to offer him an extension if he's traded here.

    If it makes you feel better my brother's house in Savage, MN lost power last night too along with the furnace. Their house is less than 10 years old.

    Are your meteorologists suggesting to bundle up and limit time outdoors?

    I'm guessing your IT person won't be happy to have your WiFi password posted on the interwebz!

    Are you surviving the frigid temps?! The Arctic air made its way down to Texas too! Yesterday was a chilly 40 degrees with a strong breeze from the north.
  24. Vanimal46
    This is a bad LEN3 argument...
  25. Vanimal46
    If he starts the year in AAA will he be in their bullpen? Try to ramp him back up to start? I also wonder that if Romero blows a few leads and is sent down during the season for poor performance. Does he slide into Rochester's bullpen, or get him ramped up to start next season?
