    I hope Cruz takes Sano under his wings and has a heart to heart with him about what it takes to have a long MLB career. It's up to Sano, obviously, but it's nice to have a fellow DR player on the team to look up to.

    I read through this thread and no one typed this team will win 100 games or more. Can you point us in the right direction?

    Why are you posting on this site at 11:33 AM? Focus on your job. At all times.

    This sounds similar to another team we all follow... Alas, they're also just signing players to 1 year deals.

    What if the two 97 MPH prospects blow out their arms and never reach the majors? The Reds got out of a really bad contract (Bailey), got a useful player in Kemp, and 2 upside MLB players. If it fails to work out, they can acquire more players that throw hard at the deadline.

    I don't have the slightest idea what his endurance will be. Just a hunch he'll be okay. Does he fall off a cliff the 3rd time through the order like Odorizzi?
  7. Vanimal46
    Much needed big bat in the middle of the lineup. Good job Falvey and Levine!
  8. Vanimal46
    I feel more confident about Pineda than I do about Mr. 5 innings Odorizzi and whoever else fills out the back of the rotation.

    Thanks for doing this Tom. I appreciate the Bob Ross reference in the video! Several organizations across baseball are fortunate to find an advanced bat who can fly through the system. Why can't Kirilloff be our fortunate find? If he's making a mockery of AA pitching like he did with A pitchers last year, I hope they let him loose to fly up the system. He doesn't have to learn to field a premium position like Lewis and Gordon, so let's hope his bat stays hot.

    Not too hard to envision Tyler Johnson and Cashman playing on Sundays next year.

    Good win to end the season. Next year should bring higher expectations than this year.

    https://gizmodo.com/apples-future-looks-rotten-1831041372 I agree with this assessment... Apple has stopped innovating their hardware and now has to look elsewhere to progress as a company.

    I have no proposed endgame. Wall or no wall has no bearing on my life personally. I do think there should be better border security. Both parties seem to agree on that. What Trump could do is use sources of revenue in the executive branch that the President has authority to use without Congressional approval and build it himself. The past couple of presidents (George W. and Obama) have gone that route to accomplish the goals they want.

    And yes, to quote a famous 21st century philosopher on this website: "Pick a path." I see no entertainment value with a team who sits somewhere between 77 to 85 wins.
  16. Vanimal46
    Yeah I like what the Reds did... They seized the opportunity to get a functional MLB player (Kemp) to match Bailey's salary who's no longer functional. And received an upside player in Puig who they would have no chance to acquire on the FA market in the future. I would love to see the Twins take advantage of their financial flexibility and take on short term, bigger money commitments of established MLB players.

    I'd call San Francisco and see if they're ready to dump salaries for minor leaguers. Bumgarner, Crawford, Belt, Watson, etc. I'd call the Pirates who are always game to shed salary... Cerveli, Marte, Polanco, etc. Or if they think this is a non-contending year... Call the Mets, Red Sox, Astros, Cardinals, etc. Start selling Gibson, Pineda, etc.

    2 billion buys a nice football stadium these days. I doubt that's all it costs to build a wall. Not even close. You and I and others here don't think it will help the US. But there are millions of people that believe a border wall will help this country and voted for Trump because of it.
  19. Vanimal46
    I don't. It was in the Desert Sun newspaper.
  20. Vanimal46
    Read it in the paper yesterday.
  21. Vanimal46
    If I heard correctly, the Democrats would rather just give Mexico the money instead of Trump himself. Which is also really stupid, because Mexico is one of the most corrupt countries out there.
  22. Vanimal46
    I don't want to get into this debate of popular vote vs. electoral votes. I didn't vote for Trump full disclosure. I'm just pointing out that the wall was his big promise on the campaign trail, and it makes sense why this is a sticking point to him to shut down the government. Because what else can he say at this point that he's fulfilled with his campaign promises? Not much. Regardless, we're going to see a gridlock for the next 2 years, nothing will get accomplished, then the same **** will happen in reverse.
  23. Vanimal46
    I don't disagree, but again, many people around the country voted for this guy because of the wall. It was his primary promise on the campaign trail.
  24. Vanimal46
    For better or worse, border security was one of Trump's promises to his fan base on the campaign trail... So shutting down the government probably is worth it to him. Also, weren't Democrats crying wolf when the Republicans did the exact same thing (refusing to negotiate with the other party) while Obama was in office? What happened to working across the aisle? Or does that only apply for either party when their person holds power? It's all petty and sad.

    Flying

    Vanimal46 replied to Squirrel's topic in The Sports Bar

    I read in USA Today today that airlines were getting ripped for charging extra on "preferred" seats over the holidays. When I flew on American I had to pay $32 more for an aisle seat in row 17. No additional leg room or anything like that. I just prefer aisle seats. Hopefully this extra charge doesn't become a trend in the future.
