    Who has the worst system these days? The running bit over the last 2-3 years is the Angels having bare cupboards in the minors.
  2. Vanimal46
    Wow. What prospect would the Tigers want from the Angels?! Their farm system is barren.

    http://blogimages.thescore.com/nfl/files/2013/01/dr.-nick.jpg Hi Everybody! I was the one that did the MRI on Byron Buxton, and should clear up the confusion! I was telling Byron that there's a ham bone calling my name after the MRI. A reporter tried eavesdropping and thought I said hamate bone.... Don't worry about it! Byron will be fine.

    Good luck to Goodrum. I wonder who's spot he took on the 40 man roster?

    Another poster gunnarthor put together a google doc for the 2018 payroll , and going off of his projections, the Twins have ~$20 MM to spend this off-season based off past payroll levels. That could be more if Hughes doesn't return from injury and insurance kicks in.

    Yeah... that's fair to say. Bartolo has grown on me where he'd be #3 on my confidence list. Mejia (when he returns) and Gibson are pretty much 4A and 4B.

    In a playoff race, I'm not sure if I want to see more data to show whether Gibson is better, or facing worse offenses. I think as far as playoff teams go, the Twins have the Yankees and Cleveland left to play in the regular season. I wouldn't feel confident letting Gibson start in those series....

    This isn't Twins-related, but a very fun read nonetheless. Eno Sarris tackles the age-old question, "If you, (yes, you!) were given a full season's worth of PA's, would you get a hit?" http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/would-chris-hayes-get-a-hit-in-a-full-season-of-play/

    Are bears at the top of the list of animals children find adorable, but in reality would rip your %^%#^ face off? I want to love bears! They do fun things like wave at us, and jump in pools! They also wouldn't think twice to make you his or her lunch that day.

    Patience is definitely needed because that's an extreme left/right split. For context, Max Kepler OPS'd .691 at Fort Myers, and .869 at Chattanooga. And he's generally viewed as a huge liability against LHP in the majors.
  11. Vanimal46
    He may end up being that. He still has a long ways to go against LH pitching, where he's OPS'ing .525 this season. .530 the season before that. I just don't know how you can be an everyday SS and quite valuable when there's a massive hole in his game like that.
  12. Vanimal46
    Concur. I've been on the sell high bandwagon for months with Gordon. I don't know if Verlander is the target to trade away Gordon, but he's certainly not untouchable like some on here want.

    Started watching White Gold on Netflix over the weekend, and now 4 episodes into the 6 episode mini series. It originally broadcasted on BBC. So far so good! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bI4VqfWmZQ

    Not to mention his velocity has increased to 95.7 MPH this season. The highest it's been since 2011. It's not looking like he's slowing down soon.
  15. Vanimal46
    Jake Reed is sporting a nice 1.98 ERA in 27 AAA innings.... But, like we've talked about before, for some reason they've been letting him pitch once every 3 or so days all season.
  16. Vanimal46
    As far as your other quesiton why Russo would join a start up.... I'm assuming this website has heavy backing from the owners, or other investors around the country. They already have some heavy hitters on staff, namely former SI folks who made the transition after SI went with mostly videos and other crap. Also, I'm assuming that he's going to have a big role either starting a Minneapolis branch, or covering the NHL on a national level.

    Oh boy. Trump is going to be in my city this week. He's going to make sure storm relief efforts are going to be "better than ever before"
  18. Vanimal46
    My brother was listening to KFAN yesterday while Lavelle E Neal was on the radio. Lavelle spoiled it by saying Russo was heading to the Athletic.

    Strange story.... Royals SP Danny Duffy was arrested for a DUI last night. He fell asleep in the drive-thru at Burger King.
  20. Vanimal46
    Everyone feels the need to get their think piece out on Byron Buxton. Fangraphs is no different. Hot off the presses today: "Sinking and Then Swimming with Byron Buxton"
  21. Vanimal46
    Couldn't agree more. I don't watch sports as much as I used to, but I still enjoy reading about it. It sounds like the Athletic is making an ideal website.... All articles, no videos, no ads, no fluff. This concept makes so much sense for people in the newspaper industry. I don't know why the big players in that industry don't combine efforts since their industry is dying off.
  22. Vanimal46
    He's joining Rosenthal at the Athletic.... This (new?) website is building a super team that's for sure.
  23. Vanimal46
    That would be nice if it were the case. But I'm sure they're going to have him write national stories as he's one of the most plugged in reporters in the sport.
  24. Vanimal46
    Never heard of the Athletic prior to yesterday afternoon. Now they landed 2 big hires in Rosenthal and Russo. Both with a huge number of twitter followers. I don't know if I'll ever subscribe to the website, but I like what they're doing so far.
  25. Vanimal46
    Remember when the Royals were red hot a month or so ago? Now they're closing in on an MLB record in futility. They've been shut out for 4 consecutive games, and currently have a 43 inning scoreless streak going on. The 1968 Chicago Cubs and the 1906 Philadelphia Athletics hold the major league record at 48 innings.
