    Annnd we're starting off with a 1 pitch fly out.

    Have no fear! You just need to update to the Odorizzi Bingo card... Best acquisition ever. Twins HOF? Don't need fielding behind him. He will do it all himself Best stuff in baseball

    Things to think about: Green Beer: Did you drink any yesterday? I can safely say I won't be consuming any more of it until March 17, 2019. Weather: It's going to be 82 degrees at first pitch. What's the weather looking like in your neck of the woods? It's going to be muggy and raining in Austin. St. Patty's Day Food: I had a GREAT Shepherd's Pie yesterday. Did you eat any Irish based food yesterday? Corned beef? Working out the kinks: We are T minus 11 days away from opening day! Even game threaders need a spring training. Let's use today to get our bad jokes, memes, and concurs in line for the real deal!

    The game is on MLB Network and MLB.tv. We get to watch Odorizzi pitch today!

    Hopefully resident surgeon Heezy stops by to explain it to us simpletons.

    Now, Berardino didn't specify whether Santana is ahead or behind schedule in the original timeline of 10-12 weeks. If others that had this surgery in the past weren't able to make a fist 6 weeks after the procedure, then it's much ado about nothing.
  7. Vanimal46
    I did. How is the title misleading? He can't make a fist or grip a baseball right now. I concur the original timeline for his return is optimistic.
  8. Vanimal46
    Not exactly promising. The Twins may need that 5th starter longer than they expect. https://www.twincities.com/2018/03/18/ervin-santana-still-cant-make-a-fist-or-grip-a-baseball-post-surgery/

    I don't think he was ever at 92 earlier this spring. Lavelle had a tweet from his outing before this that he was hitting 89-90 MPH on the gun. This is probably the new reality for Hughes. He's got a long way to go in order to reinvent himself. Somehow he needs more movement on his pitches, or dedicate the next 2 years learning to throw a knuckleball.

    Agree 100%. A 90 MPH flat fastball is batting practice for a professional hitter.
  12. Vanimal46
    I said this a few pages ago. I'm not going to be happy until Hughes is completely out of the picture in this organization.
  13. Vanimal46
    Good luck to Vargas. I just don't see him getting 500+ PAs in the MLB. To me it's made sense for over a year that he makes his way to Korea or Japan. He could be a folk hero there hitting 40+ HRs and try his luck again in a year or 3.

    Old friend Pedro Florimon had his contract selected by the Phillies. He's most likely heading north with them as their utility IF. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2018/03/phillies-select-contract-of-pedro-florimon-designate-eliezer-alvarez.html

    Concur with Levi. There should be room for one more big(ger) signing. Then fill out the rest through the draft and lower priced guys.
  16. Vanimal46
    Welcome aboard, Mr. Cave. Is he on the 40 man already?
  17. Vanimal46
    Agreed. If he lays off more back door benders he'll be good. He was starting to do so in the first half last year. Then he was pressing a little bit once he went into a slump and swung at those pitches again.
  18. Vanimal46
    I'm bullish on Sano... He'll be an All Star again, play 140+ games, and hit the ball extremely hard.
  19. Vanimal46
    Yeah I'm all for it. As we know, it can all come crashing down quickly. The pieces are in place now to go all in.
  20. Vanimal46
    Vikings must be banking on the salary cap continually rising. I figured they would front load it for the upcoming season.
  21. Vanimal46
    Well, ink has been put to paper and Cousins is officially a Viking.
  22. Vanimal46
    I'd give up very little. It was fine to take a chance on someone with triple digit velocity potential in ST. It's a different story bringing him north for the season. You and others laid out the reality of Kinley. 27 years old, no track record of success above AA, most likely 12 on the depth chart. I've seen enough Hooey/Tonkin types... He needs more than a 97 MPH fastball.

    He's getting pumped for opening day!
  24. Vanimal46
    The Vikes are set at QB. Cousins - Siemian - Sloter
  25. Vanimal46
    Is Kiley saying yes to Rooker starting in AA? Or the chance of a post ASB call up? Or both? Have we seen any prospect since Mauer with this aggressive of a push through the minors?
