    Every superhero needs a sidekick.... I still believe in the core four, and these three are turning into nice supplementary pieces for the core 4.

    Didn't Parise miss games last season because of his back? Not ideal for a 33 year old to experience back injuries... The decline in his game may be rapid for him, and the Wild are still on the hook for another 6-7 years.

    Speaking of the Dodgers, they finally won a game today, snapping their 10 game losing streak. After going on a record tear themselves earlier this season, they've gone 2-16 in their last 18 games. Baseball is weird.

    Let's never forget that we learned Seth is the Bartolo Colon in our staff of Minor League writers.... Will he return next season?!

    Congrats to all of these guys for having a great season. Perhaps we'll see a Curtiss-like jump from AA to the majors next year for Hackimer.

    They may lose 1 or 2, we'll have a thread full of scorching hot taeks, and it'll prove 4 months later that it doesn't matter.

    Another amazing baseball stat broken today.... Cleveland 21 wins in a row.
  8. Vanimal46
    Cleveland breaks the record, 21 games in a row.

    Dave Cameron was bringing up some good points in his chat today. It'd be tough for an AL team to promise 2-way playing time. Especially if the bat can't play in a DH role. In the NL, he could at least PH for the pitcher on his days-off, or throw him in the OF. Since he's forgoing hundreds of millions of dollars to be an MLB player now, I've got to imagine a team has to promise he'll be a 2-way player in order to make it to the negotiation table.
  10. Vanimal46
    That's about right. It's not 0! But it's very, very small. I'd say: Yankees, Cubs, Red Sox, Dodgers, Angels, Mariners, Rangers, Astros (15-20% chance) Any other team not on the coast: 1-2% chance. Since the contract terms aren't going to be drastically different from all 30 teams, he's going to make his money via marketing.... And frankly, the large markets offer way better opportunity than in fly-over country.

    I tried typing his name a couple of pages ago, but I didn't dive head first into 1st base yet, and my shirt is too clean for his standards.

    Fangraphs also just posted a new blog.... "How to Sign Shohei Otani"
  13. Vanimal46
    Well, it's official. Otani is heading to the US to play in the MLB next season. Because of the new CBA, the max contract he can receive is $10.1 million. Which means money isn't going to be the factor for which team he chooses. This smells like a Yankees or Dodgers signing.
  14. Vanimal46
    He still has one of the most memorable batting stances ever, IMO.
  15. Vanimal46
    I did that with Joe Mays in MVP Baseball. Then grew to irrationally like Mays in real life because hey, he was a 20 game winner in the video game!
  16. Vanimal46
    Sam Deduno. That guy truly didn't know where the ball was going as soon as it left his hand.
  17. Vanimal46
    Jason Tyner. 1 career HR, starting DH in the 2006 playoffs.
  18. Vanimal46
    Last year's feel good September call-up James Beresford. What happened to that guy?
  19. Vanimal46
    Ask and you shall receive. I would recommend wearing oven mitts and sunglasses to prevent serious burns from the taeks. http://twinsdaily.com/topic/6334-article-joe-benson-claimed-off-waivers-by-rangers/?hl=%20joe%20%20benson

    The only way I can type his name is if I rub my hands in dirt.... So GRITTY.
  21. Vanimal46
    Too soon, man. So many TOOLS.
  22. Vanimal46
    The Twins had a nice little run of hefty left handed relievers. Jose Mijares being another one.
  23. Vanimal46
    Denny Hocking, the original utility man.
  24. Vanimal46
    Vance Worley, the "Vanimal"
  25. Vanimal46
    so much promise for this guy.... and nothing happened.
