    I have the crate in the corner of my living room right now. He's not big enough yet to tear up clothing so I'll try the t shirt trick tonight!

    It happened!! Does anyone have tips on crate training? He's a very good boy, but he's crying for a few hours every night.

    I don't agree this is a quick hook. He hasn't been able to effectively get outs for 3 years...
  4. Vanimal46
    I don't even want the 2-3 April starts. His arm/body has been toast for 3 years...
  5. Vanimal46
    The list looks good. I'd still have Gordon above both Gonsalves and Romero but that's a minor nit pick. Pretty exciting to have 4 names on the top 100 list!

    Prepare to be stunned this season!

    It seems like he's saying "Huh, I never saw that email." For us corporate monkeys that mess up in the office.

    Concur with Brock. Dozier IMO is a lock for 30+ HRs in his walk year. Sano is a possibility depending on if he's suspended. The others, I don't know. From what I'm reading the baseballs may not be as juiced this year as they were last year. So we may see a decrease in HRs throughout baseball.

    Why even bother filling out the paperwork for an offer that low?
  10. Vanimal46
    Thoughts on Jay Jaffe? I haven't read his prior work before.
  11. Vanimal46
    I'm guessing other teams will offer more years, albeit for a smaller AAV. I'd be quite comfortable going 4 years, wince but still do it for 5 years, and walk at 6.

    Tim Lincecum signs an MLB deal... You read that correctly, an MLB deal with the Texas Rangers. It sounds like he's going to be used as a reliever this season, which will be interesting to see!
  13. Vanimal46
    See I'm pretty confident betting on him continuing what he's been doing into his mid-30's. Dozier is probably the most marketable Twin right now, and the one casual fans know the most... I don't know, it's hard to imagine a team without Dozier and Mauer within the next year. They'll have to start another "Get to Know Em'" campaign!
  14. Vanimal46
    I think it's going to be difficult to replace what Dozier does for the team. Assuming that Gordon takes over at 2B, we'll miss out on 20+ HRs that would have came off of Dozier's bat instead of Gordon.
  15. Vanimal46
    He's a top 3 2B by most every offensive statistic and WAR out there. And proved his worth by slugging 34 HRs last year after his career year in 2016.
  16. Vanimal46
    A 2nd round pick is more valuable than Dozier? No need to take this personally. He's going to continue playing the best he can for Minnesota so he can cash in as much as possible. It's up to Minnesota if they want to compete against LA, NY, and Chicago for his services.
  17. Vanimal46
    I don't blame anyone for wanting to explore free agency. Teams control a player for long enough. I'd like to keep him as a Twin for the foreseeable future. Next winter it's time for the Twins to bid against the big market teams.

    I looked up Oswaldo Arcia after reading about ex-Twins and Tampa Bay. He's signed up to play in Japan this year with the Nippon Ham Fighters. Hopefully not trying to fill in the shoes Ohtani left behind! This has been your Oswaldo Arcia CBU.
  19. Vanimal46
    There was a lot of grey area in that whole situation. I'm fine with him exploring his options. Teddy for all we know is plan B if they fail to sign Cousins.
  20. Vanimal46
    There's a need and hopefully room in the budget for one more SP. That way we can eliminate Hughes and Sanchez from consideration in the opening day rotation.
  21. Vanimal46
    Teddy's contract didn't toll, and he will become a free agent. I don't know how else you can read this without thinking they're clearing the deck for Cousins.
  22. Vanimal46
    I cringe seeing Hughes at #5 on the list... I don't want him on the list at all.
  23. Vanimal46
    I think B is a fair grade. It would have been an A in my book if they acquired a top of the rotation SP like Darvish or Cole. Odorizzi is a fine consolation prize but he still doesn't fit the dire need of a #1/#2 SP.
  24. Vanimal46
    Interesting development. Maybe this indicates they're going for Cousins.
  25. Vanimal46
    I'm a fan of this signing. Best case scenario they found a borderline All Star for a cheap 2 year deal. Worst case he's a $6.5 MM bench bat. Frankly I like his chances to reach All-Star caliber play compared to Vargas.
