    Thad Levine interview on MLB.com discussing the decisions they have to make at the trade deadline. Per the article:

    My personal favorite was when Zack Jones went unprotected for the Rule 5 draft.... Some of those taeks melted polar ice caps.

    Much like drjim, I'm in the conservative camp when it comes to Gonsalves. He'll probably get the call to AAA soon enough, but whatever the FO is looking for, he must not have mastered it yet in Chattanooga.
  4. Vanimal46
    Maybe this is baby steps towards trusting the current FO more than the previous regime?

    I'm going to have to let them know they need to fix the glitch in their payroll system... http://inspired.tangraminteriors.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/milton-office-space1.jpg

    20's are a very confusing time... Just graduating from college, trying to figure out what you're supposed to do after that... Dating.... Still trying to be trendy and cool... I don't know what it is, but something clicked for my first month being 27. Stopped caring about the small stuff, and things I can't control. It's the happiest I've been professionally and personally in years... Maybe ever!

    High aspirations, low expectations is the only way to go through life! You'll never disappoint yourself!

    FTFY

    That's a great story! You don't see it much anymore where a person stays at a company for 20 years. You're one of the lucky ones!

    Congrats on getting sober, and for 2017 being the best year of your life so far!
  11. Vanimal46
    What has been the best age of your life? So far 27 is turning out to be a great one for ol' Vanimal!

    It's usually a safe bet to wish a woman happy 29th birthday, unless she's in her late twenties.... Then it's happy 22nd birthday!

    There's also the other side of the coin, which is putting a person in the wrong seat. A person may be really good as an individual contributor sales person, and the next step to challenge them is to give them a team of people to manage. That may not be the right seat for them, and the company already filled the seat that person was in before. Now they're in a tough spot. Promoting Gonsalves/Romero/Jorge right now may be putting them in the wrong seat, with no one else to fill that spot when they fail.

    Also, YouTube TV is coming out soon, and Hulu is joining the live TV battle by offering that to their existing services as well. We're finally living in an age of streaming cable services!
  15. Vanimal46
    For the last 10 months or so, I've been using Playstation Vue as my streaming service for cable content. Now I'm reading about Hulu offering a live TV service. As well as DirecTV offering a streaming service called DirecTV Now offering essentially the same thing Playstation Vue does - no annual contract, ~60 channels starting at $35 a month. Has anyone used these other services? I'm reconsidering changing my streaming service now that it's summer, and the shows we watch are quite limited.

    Enjoy your time off the grid Tom! Nothing better than taking a couple of days off from your phone/internet to put things into perspective.

    Hmm, with this depth chart, I would try to upgrade Gibson with a better FA or trade acquisition. Santiago I guess I'd offer him another contract. Not sure what to think about May for next season. Will he be fully recovered by April? Or will he need to rehab in the minors until June/July? I'd feel comfortable with Berrios at the top of the rotation since he's trending up in his career. Erv probably shouldn't be counted on to be anything more than a #3/4 next season entering his age 35 season. The rest look like back-end of the rotation types. My hope is they make a splash for a pitcher who can slot into the top of the rotation.
  18. Vanimal46
    I wouldn't be opposed to placing Romero in the bullpen so he gets 15-20 innings of MLB experience this year. What I don't want is to head into the off-season thinking there's no need to sign quality pitchers because Romero, Jorge, and Gonsalves are all coming up soon. Ideally I'd want those guys to be options #7-9 on the depth chart. If they do well and force the Twins' hand to call them up, even better.
  19. Vanimal46
    I'm a bit jaded by the lack of success from other recent SP call-ups... And don't want to rely on prospects like Gonsalves, Romero, or Jorge having immediate success while the team is trying to contend.
  20. Vanimal46
    It sure feels like Berrios has grown a ton as a pitcher over the last calendar year. Even though it wasn't his best outing, he kept the team in the game. I'm feeling more confident he can be counted on as a top of the rotation pitcher dueling against other teams' aces. As others have mentioned, Belisle needs to go. He's been causing more damage than good things all season.

    Another thing we can bring up in this thread that could potentially make Chi's head explode: Ish vs. Ick. Discuss.
  22. Vanimal46
    I believe you spelled Forth wrong. What is it with Canadians and adding u's to everything?!
  23. Vanimal46
    Just sitting here waiting for Chi to show up... http://wac.450f.edgecastcdn.net/80450F/thefw.com/files/2012/08/Michael-Jackson-Popcorn.gif
