    End of an era in Tampa. Kind of sucks that old friend Denard Span has to play out his (likely) final season at Tropicana Field.
  2. Vanimal46
    For sure. He saved his job by finally spending money on OL talent, and hitting the jackpot on Keenum. He's not completely out of trouble IMO. He has some huge decisions to make in the offseason... What to do at QB, and how do you replace Pat Shurmur?
  3. Vanimal46
    Haha wow... It's not like he's been the best safety in the league for the last 3-4 years.
  4. Vanimal46
    Yeah it seems to be this way in every sport. Darvish is clearly setting the market before people like Cobb and Lynn sign a contract. Wouldn't be surprised if JD Martinez is the guy who'll set the market for Hosmer and the others.

    Don't teach your kids to be a power hitter. Clearly teams forgot how to compensate those types of players. Instead, teach your kids how to throw the ball really hard for one inning.

    Fleck held up his end of the bargain by recruiting the highest ranked incoming class since Brewster in 2008. 28th ranked class, 6th in the Big 10, 1st in the west division. This program desperately needs talent all around, so good for Fleck. As we learned with Brewster, recruiting is half the battle. Hopefully Fleck coaches up the talent; something Brewster had no idea how to do. https://www.twincities.com/2017/12/19/gophers-2018-recruiting-class-ranked-us-highest-since-2008/

    It's a nice thought... But those 14 HRs probably came off the pitch from Scott Baker, Scott Diamond, and Boof Bonser...

    I think spycake is right that the catch rule is mostly called correctly how it's written. I also think we as fans would all be happier if they eliminated "completing the process" from the rule.

    2 perfect examples last week against Carolina. I believe it was Stewart for Carolina that did a goal line leap, barely got the ball over the plane before it was punched out of his hands - Touchdown. Adam Thielen catches the ball, knee down, elbow hits the turf, loses control of the ball for 0.5 seconds before resecuring it on his chest - incomplete pass.

    This rule will be addressed and changed in the off-season for sure. As Levi said (welcome back btw!) there's a huge difference between rushing into the end zone vs. catching the ball in the end zone. It's ridiculous and provides zero benefit for the fans or the game.

    That's a ton of cash moved around for a lot of broken junk.
  12. Vanimal46
    Every reason the Twins (or insert any team name here) say why we should trade for him (durable, eats innings, misses bats, incredibly team friendly contract) are the exact same reasons the Rays say why would we trade him? Unless someone pays a king's ransom he's not going anywhere this winter.

    I bought OOTP 17 on an Amazon special a couple of weeks ago. Don't have any idea what I'm doing on that game so far. If anyone has tips for a brand new player, it would be much appreciated. I was kind of annoyed within the first day of my franchise with the Twins Brad Hand was traded for peanuts on the dollar.
  14. Vanimal46
    Now my coworkers are wondering what I watched that made me laugh so hard. Thanks!
  15. Vanimal46
    Exactly. It's becoming clear by the year that it's pointless to even participate in the rule V draft. Especially if you consider yourself a contending team. Now this guy is going to take up a roster space for a month or two and provide minimal benefits. And one of my favorite things Falvine does (constantly rotating players in and out of the 25th spot) is hindered by a 27 year old who hasn't seen any success above A ball. Terrible.
  16. Vanimal46
    Can't wait for the year when the Twins make win now moves... This signing is gross.
  17. Vanimal46
    The opportunity cost is worth more than whatever value Kinley could provide... We're now starting the season with essentially 24 players since Kinley will be buried in the bullpen. We've seen for a few years now the disadvantages of that. Then he'll be kept around for a couple of months before eventually sending him back. Someone else could have taken his reps and innings during that time.
  18. Vanimal46
    We have bleh, gross, ugh, and yuck so far. I think that's all Seth needs to write in his upcoming Rodney article.
  19. Vanimal46
    You can also celebrate about to be 41 year old Fernando Rodney signing a 1/$6 MM contract with the Twins. Oh boy.
  20. Vanimal46
    Gross.
  21. Vanimal46
    I think you can agree that they should be aiming higher than a Pressly type. I'm more annoyed they continue to explore this avenue (rule V) when the odds are so low drafting a player who will make a positive impact for the team.
  22. Vanimal46
    Why are we wasting time with another Rule 5 pick? I can only hope the leash is extremely short. I don't mind losing Burdi and Bard because odds are they'll rot on on MLB bench or get sent back to MN.
  23. Vanimal46
    Marlins fire sale continues. OF Marcell Ozuna will be traded to the Cardinals pending a physical. The return is not known at this time. Going off of their last trade, it's probably a C level prospect and a $500 gift card to Cheesecake Factory.
  24. Vanimal46
    Eventually they'll have to pay market rates if they want to make a playoff run... Just like everything else, what do you want the market rate to be, money or prospects?
  25. Vanimal46
    I'm in agreement with Longenhagen. All of those players are interchangeable IMO. Whatever combination of 3 players the Pirates want to make the deal happen.
