  1. I'm convinced Jeff will name his first born son Willians. He loves him.
  2. The Twins need to acquire more talented players all over the field. Don't be afraid to sign boom or bust free agents, and trade from the surplus of low level minor leaguers.
  3. One bargain bin SP I'm interested in is Matt Harvey. I wanted the Twins to pick him up when he was waived by the Mets and he had a good rebound stint in Cincinnati.
  4. I heard she can't step foot in the city of St. Paul after her antics inside Xcel Energy Center.
  5. I don't know what I'm eating for lunch yet, so I can't predict the future of Grienke tomorrow or 3 years from now. All I said is Grienke has a sustained track record of excellence compared to Corbin. There is no doubt Arizona's goal and every other team's goal to find players who are significant contributors to building a contending team. Doesn't mean they'll get that in this trade. What are the odds that young prospects flourish into significant contributors? We see top 100 prospects flame out every year.
  6. Grienke has sustained excellence for a long time now... Corbin had great seasons in 2013 and 2018, with meh to bad seasons in between. Obviously there's an age difference to consider, but I have more faith in Grienke's track record than Corbin right now. Grienke's tendencies as a fly ball / strikeout pitcher plays into the Twins' strength of a great OF too. Just some things to think about other than Grienke's salary / potential decline.
  7. The Marlins have a new color scheme, jerseys, and logo... Again. Personally I don't like it. http://news.sportslogos.net/2018/11/15/our-colores-miami-marlins-unveil-whole-new-look-and-logo-for-2019/
  8. Depends on how much salary the Twins take on. They wouldn't have to offer much if they take on Grienke's entire salary... i.e. the Yankees trade for Stanton last year. Probably not realistic for our Twins though. The more money Arizona eats, the better the prospects the Twins have to give up.
  9. What are you doing announcing a billion dollar idea here? Run to the nearest R&D labratory, stat!
  10. Reed, Rogers, May are the givens. Hildenberger has options and had quite a few peaks and valleys last season. So I wouldn't call him a given yet. Needless to say, there are a lot of names and very few givens.
  11. I don't disagree! However, who's going to be the opener bear? TC Bear isn't an ace and can't face the first 3 batters of the game...
  12. You guys! There are more rumors about TC Bear than free agency news!
  13. A trade that will change the landscape of the AL Central for years...
  14. Unless if you're putting on scuba gear and diving into the water, I'm not sure you're seeing MORE of the course...
  15. I want to see Twitter videos of Falvey wearing a fake mustache at the airport pretending to be an Uber driver in New York... Whenever Corbin flies in, he picks him up and drives him to Minnesota instead! Is that TOO MUCH to ask for?
  16. Just looked this up. The Vikings are 2-6 at Soldier Field since 2010... Ouch.
  17. Free agents could technically start signing with other teams on November 3rd! 10 days of minimal rumors...
  18. I eat crow at least 12 times a year... Delicious!
  19. Right. Or at the very least we would read that Corbin is visiting with the Cubs today, and potentially visiting the Yankees tomorrow unless Theo makes him an offer he can't refuse. Instead it's radio silence until the minute they sign somewhere.
  20. IMO the rapid fire nature is what makes the offseason fun for other sports. I enjoy looking at the hot rumors saying "LeBron James is flying out to LA for a visit! Will he sign?" There's nothing like that in baseball...
  21. My memory is hazy but it felt like in the past there were big trades and FA signings happening at the GM meetings. Now I don't know what they do other than go to a warm weather city to get a tan.
  22. Why is it in baseball we have to wait for weeks on end for anything to happen in free agency? In other sports like football and basketball top free agents sign within hours of free agency opening up. Take a page out of other major sports' playbooks baseball. We want HOT free agent news, and we want it now!
  23. Currently watching Wild Wild Country on Netflix... So far so good! The documentary is based only 3 hrs away from you Mike!
