    Life as a Twins fan would be so much easier if he figures this out... The clock is ticking.
  2. Vanimal46
    I get the sense that Molitor and co. are getting fed up with Buxton's inability to hit the baseball.
  3. Vanimal46
    I'm wondering what buying low on Buxton looks like... A team would still have to include a top 100 prospect or 2, no?
  4. Vanimal46
    Yeah you're right. I forgot about all of that.
  5. Vanimal46
    Let's try to take our biased hats off and think of Buxton's value as a fan of a different team. Last year he made several "Trade Value Player Ranking" lists like SI and Fangraphs... Can his potential still be sold 1,000+ PAs into his career? If teams outside of the Twins buy into his potential, what would the return look like?

    8 walk off losses in the first 50 games of the season... You can't make it up. Wow.

    Josmil Pinto didn't have enough time to show you he deserves a nomination...
  8. Vanimal46
    Bark, only you can get me to read, like, and comment on a thread confirming that you're still breathing.
  9. Vanimal46
    Ahh, bingo! I was thinking about the draft budget... Not the draft pick lost to acquire Lynn.

    Moderators: "Brock, we NEED your help! Something isn't right with the website!!" Brock: sigh..... "What seems to be the problem? Can you describe it to me?" Mods: "As soon as we typed in the URL, the screen went black! It's unlike anything we've ever seen..." Brock: groans.... Takes a deep breath. "Did you try unplugging it, and plug it back in?" Mods: pauses.... Thinks long and hard. "No." Brock: "Please do that first, and report back. I'm going to put myself on mute and reconsider what I'm doing with my life." *3 minutes later* Mods: "Hey Brock?" Brock: unmutes, takes another long, long drink from his coffee mug. "Yeah?" Mods: "It works now." Brock: "Great. In the next 5 minutes you'll receive an automated call to rate our conversation. It would be great if you gave me 5 st-" Mods: "Thanks. But no thanks. K Bye."

    Great... The Atkins diet rebranded as Keto... Now with pee strips to ensure you're doing it right! Oh well, more bread for carb lovers like us!
  12. Vanimal46
    Yes. That is a real thing she showed me today... All of the "stages" on the pee strip were a slight variation of maroon. So depending on how much water you consumed is the difference between "Full Keto burning zone" and "Try again!"
  13. Vanimal46
    Lynn's signing has nothing to do with the draft pool money. The other stuff I concur and hope they use the ~$7 million towards a real difference maker. Lord knows they have a lot of money coming off the books.
  14. Vanimal46
    Tangent Tuesday: There's a woman in my office that buys into every diet fad out there. She's now "pumped up" about the Keto diet... Which have pee strips conveniently around the same maroonish color to let you know if you're at the "Keto burning zone" or not. From the looks of her prepped meals, which are large hunks of meat with veggies grilled in lard, her cholesterol will shoot through the roof before losing 10 lbs.
  15. Vanimal46
    Definitely. We'll never really know where Hughes' leftover money is spent. I hope it's on a new contract and not to pay for Morrison's option year or something intangible we can't see.
  16. Vanimal46
    The players don't matter in this trade. Simply said, the Twins sold the #74 overall pick for $7 million then included the other players to make it an actual "baseball" trade. It's a good trade for the fans only if they spend that money next season... And they have a lot of it to spend.
  17. Vanimal46
    Good point. But I'm sure every team has a collection of Hughes, Duffey, Moya types that drags their team ERA too. Can't we be happy that we are seeing an average to above average pitching staff? Especially after 7 years of pitiful pitching stats...
  18. Vanimal46
    Should the Twins be sellers? *Checks date on calendar* *Checks AL Central standings* No. They should buy to compete this season. Every year contention is pushed off is another year for Detroit and Chicago to catch up.
  19. Vanimal46
    Very encouraging for Gibby, and a long time coming.
  20. Vanimal46
    Lynn continues to walk a tight rope every start and it's impressive how he seems to find his way out of jams. Couldn't agree more with Sano and Buxton. The time has passed talking about silver linings with Buxton's offense. For our sake I hope Sano's HR is a sign of things to come. I don't know where this team would be without Kepler and Rosario's contributions...
  21. Vanimal46
    It's a long season. There's going to be times when the pitching is great, and the offense stinks. And vice versa. Just need to find a time where both the pitching and offense is clicking at the same time. We're just about to enter the dog days of summer... What better time than now?!
  22. Vanimal46
    That was a good explanation of the Hughes trade but not really a trade. $7 million needs to be spent next year in order to see this as a win for the fans.
  23. Vanimal46
    That's the frustrating thing too... There's not much they can do other than wait and hope for players to turn it around. I guess they could send away good prospects for a C. Most every other move they could make is making the team worse, or selling low.
  24. Vanimal46
    Sigh... I'm getting really tired of opposing pitchers looking like a combination of Chris Sale and Justin Verlander every time they play the Twins...
  25. Vanimal46
    Sano is one of the few legit threats we have at the plate, so he needs to stay put IMO... Escobar hasn't been hitting either. Last 14 days he's batting .225 0 HR 2 RBI .512 OPS. His stats are worse over the last 7 days. I agree waiting for someone to heat up and jack HRs is getting old. I'd love to see more hit and runs and small ball stuff to make something happen.
