    Hamels on his way to Cubbie Land.

    Seriously. Mauer throwing out baserunners is a distant memory now...

    Re: Papa John's This is going to get ugly before it gets better for them. https://money.cnn.com/2018/07/26/news/companies/papa-johns-lawsuit-john-schnatter/index.html I wonder if they'll have to change the name and re-brand themselves after this mess.

    What about a Hand in a Colon? I'll see myself out now.
  5. Vanimal46
    As he should if his representation is realistic with him. He won't be a highly sought-after FA even if Twins fans think he's awesome.
  6. Vanimal46
    I'd take $18 million for one year and believe in myself enough to get another good contract after the 2019 season.

    Training camp is underway, or about to be underway. As a person who grew up in Mankato, it makes me sad they no longer host the Vikings.

    For sure. It takes a while to build from the ground up. LA for example has a couple of success stories every year seemingly out of nowhere. They've also had their leadership in place for a while. I will gain a ton of confidence in this regime if Buxton and Sano are fixed next year.

    I agree the posts would have been negative for a Muncy signing. Hopefully the development team proves us wrong in the future and fixes some of these diamonds in the rough. For the moment, I have significantly more confidence in other teams' development teams than Minnesota. I'll feel better about our team if they have a few more success stories like Gibson.

    I hope you're wrong... Sorry.

    Hitting the baseball is so hard as it is. I'm fine with batters 'mastering' the strike zone... As long as they put the ball in play, and not just look for a walk every PA.
  12. Vanimal46
    Baseball hasn't been the same without his 87 MPH heater in the big leagues.
  13. Vanimal46
    Probably not a good sign this is the 2nd time he's been traded in 3 years.
  14. Vanimal46
    Baltimore FO and Schowalter indicate he's done, so nevermind... Here are honest quotes by BAL's Falvine if you're interested in it. http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/orioles/bs-sp-orioles-tillman-20180721-story.html

    I had an interesting conversation with a co-worker relating to Tesla, and evolved to a general investment strategy... Is it wise to invest in an organization where the CEO is the brand? I'm not so sure these days.... Papa John's is toast now that Papa John was discovered to be a racist. When people think Tesla, they think Elon Musk, who has his fair share of issues as well. If the CEO has dirt brought up from his past or present, people can't separate the brand from the CEO.

    He elects FA after being DFA'd by Baltimore. The stats are brutal this year. But in 2016 he was great. He may be washed up... Is it worth taking a chance on him?
  17. Vanimal46
    Tesla may be a disrupter one day, but I can't see Elon Musk being the one to lead them that way... He's gone off the rails since his breakup with Amber Heard.

    I lean towards Seth's stance in this debate. The shifts are ridiculous and baseball is becoming more like slow pitch softball with 4 OFs out there. Implement a rule that infielders need to touch the dirt at all times. Robot umpires will be a thing... The pitch clock should be implemented ASAP. There is no reason why players can play with the pitch clock all throughout the minors, then toss it all out the window when they are called up to the majors. If the game keeps continuing the way it is with less balls in play, and 3 true outcomes, I doubt I'll be a die-hard fan 10 years from now.
  20. Vanimal46
    I guess. They both have less than 30 ABs so the stats don't really indicate much. I'm surprised you're advocating a 33 year playing...
  21. Vanimal46
    I'm not predicting this, but if you're looking for a trade that would move the needle, trade Pressly and Gibson. Those two will give the Twins a high end prospect we're all looking for.
  22. Vanimal46
    There were no other options. Pick your poison between Motter or Petit.
  23. Vanimal46
    It wouldn't prevent them from signing anyone. But it certainly hurts their trade value next season... Either the Pohlads will have to eat $6-7 million or they'll receive a worse prospect because the other team takes on $6-7 million in payroll.
  24. Vanimal46
    That was the joke... Kicking the can down the road. Putting off decisions on fringe players until next season... Sarcasm.
  25. Vanimal46
    Yep. Why see what he has to offer now when you can 60 day DL him and have the same scenario in 2019?
