    He didn't...

    Jake Reed was recently activated from the DL. It'll be interesting to see if he's on a pitching schedule similar to last season (once every 2-3 games, never back to back).

    I was told there would be baseball on TV today, dad...

    My teeth will be in the glass by the 2nd inning...

    It's happened 3 times since that post 5 minutes ago. Very annoying.

    The redirects happen nearly every time I've tried accessing this site on mobile for the past week...

    Fantastic and very informative. Thanks for taking the time to write this Heezy!

    No. Let him walk and try to resign Dozier, who has a much longer track record of offensive production. Escobar will cool off and won't command an 8 figure annual contract.

    By "sell high" I meant the Twins could actually fetch a decent prospect if he keeps it up. Whereas the last 2 years I doubt they were able to generate any interest in Gibson.

    Kershaw: 37 122 169 between AAA and MLB Scherzer: 106 109 between MLB and AAA 170 first full year as starter Verlander 130 186 first MLB season I don't think the jump to 160-180 innings after 125 last year is that crazy of an ask.

    By the time Erv comes back someone else will probably be dinged up. The real reason why I wanted to reply is to say it's time to take the training wheels off Romero. I hope he's not on a strict innings limit like he was last year. 160-180 innings between AAA and MLB shouldn't be out of the question.
  13. Vanimal46
    Most of the responses here have been positive, and it's deserved for him turning it around. However, let's not get too ahead of ourselves. He's had stretches nearly every season where he looks great, then reverts back to bad Gibby. If he continues at this hot pace, I will be very tempted to sell high. Since, as others mentioned, Erv, May, Lynn, and Gonsalves are in the mix this year at some point this summer.

    Thanks Chi! If I were a baseball player there would be several threads started to DFA me now at this age... All of the potential is gone and unrealized.

    Did we win yet?

    Congratulations to Mr. Pujols for joining the exclusive 3k hit club last night!

    Re: TOS Surgery Candidates: It seems to have killed the careers of Matt Harvey and Phil Hughes. However, Tyson Ross, another TOS pitcher is having a revival season with San Diego after a disastrous couple of years. His velocity is still down from before, but IMO what's brought him back to life is his offspeed stuff. Something Phil Hughes never really had, and Harvey probably didn't either. https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/welcome-back-tyson-ross/

    At what time do we profit?

    Re: Light Beer. When I hear that, I think Coors Light, Miller Lite, Bud Light, etc. Micro breweries are popping up every direction you look. There's a brewery in freaking Fountain, MN. Population 413! Why not try something local over light beers? It could be bad! Or maybe it's the best beer you've ever had!
  21. Vanimal46
    You must have a trough for a bladder to drink 12 light beers in ONE sitting! If that were me I'm shuttling back and forth to the bathroom more often than Chief at night...
  22. Vanimal46
    I am optimistic as well. But, something or somebody has to get him to change his approach at the plate. He's young enough where we can still dream of him being a .275/.900 OPS 35+ HR guy. If he continues doing what he's been doing, that potential is going to fade... It's crucial he reaches that potential. If he becomes an Adam Dunn that's not good enough for the team to contend.
  23. Vanimal46
    Currently at 2,999! Maybe this is just me, but this isn't discussed enough. Or maybe I'm not paying attention. Either way, what an amazing career he's had.
  24. Vanimal46
    I know Jim isn't a great baseball mind, but the FO has to convince him that the replacement costs $500k if it's a prospect.
  25. Vanimal46
    I get what you're saying, but isn't it sad that a professional athlete with SOOO much potential needs to hire a "Biggest Loser" type trainer to keep him from gaining more body weight?
