  1. Sounds like the Twins are replacing Matt Magill with an older version of Matt Magill. Change my mind.
  2. Minnesota Twins: This is How We Sign your Untendered Scraps
  3. I'd say Ottavino, Herrera, and maybe Allen are the few left that would be viewed as an upgrade over Rogers/May. At the start of the Offseason I felt like a dozen people were upgrades. Tick tock, Falvine.
  4. Article calling for a Kepler breakout. https://www.pitcherlist.com/going-deep-new-year-new-max-kepler/
  5. 5 weeks until pitchers and catchers report to Ft. Myers. The clock is ticking... Falvine should learn from their mistake last year waiting too long into spring training to sign players.
  6. Classic T Wolves head scratching move. If Taylor was thinking about doing this why take so long after the Butler debacle?
  7. Are you sure? I watched it on my Roku and used just the remote to interact with the movie...
  8. Bandersnatch is totally worth your time! Black mirror always operates at a high level and this is more of the same. Everyone I know that went to Watson and Holmes had the same review... That's really too bad. I guess the comedy duo was due for a dud. Most everything they appear in is gold.
  9. Tonight I'm going to watch Black Mirror: Bandersnatch. Really looking forward to choosing my own path for how the movie goes. Has anyone watched this yet?
  10. Bird Box on Netflix... I'm not sure what the hype is all about. It's a fine one time watch. Had the chance to be really good...
  11. 2014: Barr and Teddy 1st round picks. Big money FA DT Linval Joseph and CB Captain Munnerlyn 2015: Waynes 1st Kendricks 2nd Hunter 3rd. No big FAs to note. Largest contract they handed out was resigning John Sullivan. 2016: Treadbust 1st Mackenzie Alexander 2nd. Big FA signing OG Alex Boone (ouch!) 2017: Cook 2nd Elflien 3rd. Big FA signing Reiff, Remmers, and Latavius. 2018: Hughes 1st O'Niell 2nd. Big FA signing Kirk. Now that I look at it he did invest heavy on defense early but transitioned to offense lately. My perception was flawed.
  12. I think next year we need to balance the scales between offense and defense investments. Since Zimmer became coach, we've invested a 1st round pick on defense every year, along with key FA signings. In 2019 Zimmer needs to prove his worth developing late round/undrafted talent at LB/DL. It's imperative to invest heavy in FA and draft capital on offense. Particularly OL.
  13. Bob Einstein, or for Curb Your Enthusiasm fans Marty Funkhouser, passed away. 76 years old.
  14. He won't get anything more than a minor league with spring training invite offer. If he doesn't gain the lost 3 MPH on his fastball he's toast.
  15. Awesome stuff Mr Brooks. Something that definitely needs to be considered when evaluating Zimmer.
  16. $14 million AAV. Apparently out of the budget here.
  17. https://twitter.com/JonHeyman/status/1080142054406176768?s=19
  18. Well worth the 6 minutes. I'm not crying, you're crying.
  19. Maybe the Raiders are interested in draft picks for one of their OL. I've always been a fan of Osemele and wish the Vikings signed him 2-3 years ago when he hit FA for the first time... Otherwise Rodney Hudson or Gabe Jackson would be great too.
  20. No I meant it's very deep and they can find a potential starter later in the draft. I want to draft OL with the first 2 draft picks at least.
  21. Evidently the upcoming draft class is loaded with DL, particularly DT. With that being the case, I'd rather allocate Richardson's money elsewhere.
  22. Oh, and find an OC that can build a relationship with Cousins, since we're stuck with him no matter what for the next year or 2.
  23. Time to dig deep and find out what went wrong with this team. I want them to look at every aspect of the offense and determine what the main culprit is for the failure. I have a suspicion it all boils down to having a bad OL, but I'm not an elite NFL mind to know for sure. Last year Keenum masked a bad OL and extended a lot of broken plays. It's fair to say IMO Cousins can't do that. So they need to change strategy and build a great OL to mask a slightly above average QB. Similar to what they did in 2012 to mask a terrible Christian Ponder. This team still has a ton of talent, and only a few holes. My priority list: - OL (1/2 OG, or 1 G and 1 C so Elflien can slide over to guard) - TE - Rudolph should either restructure his contract or get released. I prefer released. - DT - I don't think Richardson was worth the money. Look to the draft to replace him for a much reduced cost - LB - Barr will get paid elsewhere, which is fine with me. Thoughts?
  24. I don't know why Zimmer would be interested in the Cincinnati job itself. That place needs to be torn down to the studs and rebuilt in every facet.
