    Or, to quote Carona... Find Your Beach. Santiago is throwing free beach balls all night...

    Have you met their CEO, Ellen Phant?
  3. Vanimal46
    Is there a demand for Kurt Cobain impersonators in Seattle? That could be the 2nd business!
  4. Vanimal46
    Who wants to go 50/50 with me starting a barber shop in Seattle? Judging by the last 2 batters there's a big demand for one!
  5. Vanimal46
    Hmm.
  6. Vanimal46
    Wait. Why are the lights still on? And why is someone handing me a hot dog with creme cheese on it?
  7. Vanimal46
    There's an EXTREMELY high demand for this... Its been mentioned twice on this thread already!

    Never would have dreamed we would want and/or need Nik Turley at any point this season... What the hell, toss him on the Tilt-O-Whirl and see if he doesn't <vomit emoji>

    Not until she called in asking for both names. The receptionist at the zoo said I think you're getting pranked...
  11. Vanimal46
    Today's prank: Told a co-worker I got a hot lead from the Austin Zoo that they need our services. Told her to call and ask for Jay Raffe. If he wasn't available, ask for Jim Panzie. She fell for it.

    So my team has been having a prank war over the last 2 weeks. Some are nearing the edge of crossing the line... It first started with replacing my co-worker's family pictures with pics of her celebrity crush Brad Pitt. Others bought fake cockroaches and scattered them around the office. It's now evolved to a person making a craigslist ad saying there's an above garage apartment available for rent with my phone number... I rebutted by signing him up for Farmersonly.com yesterday.
  13. Vanimal46
    Go on?
  14. Vanimal46
    No, but I did tell him, "I'm not mad, just disappointed." before his last outing yesterday.
  15. Vanimal46
    I was high on Greene for months... At this point, it doesn't appear they could go wrong with either Greene, Wright, or Gore. Of course, only 1 of them will most likely turn out to be as advertised. Wish I knew the right answer to this riddle. Much like you though, passing on Greene scares me.
  16. Vanimal46
    As Reed's adopt-a-prospect father on this site, he faced at least 4 batters in his AA debut on June 2nd... He walked 3 and struck out one. 20 pitches, 7 strikes.
  17. Vanimal46
    The beat writers and national writers seem to be interviewing Falvey in regards to the draft... I would assume he's the ultimate decision maker, with Lavine in the room giving his input on certain players.
  18. Vanimal46
    We've all been waiting to scout your stat line SSoO. Hit us with your slash line!

    Here are a couple of draft notes from Eric Longenhagen: "I’ve heard Mississippi State 1B Brent Rooker and Missouri State 3B Jake Burger are at or near the top of the Trackman exit-velocity leaderboard among college prospects. Keep in mind not all prospects are measured as frequently (or at all) as other college prospects who have a Trackman at their home park. Rooker’s draft position is still hard to gauge at this point, but Burger’s range for selection seems to be the between picks 11 and 17." "The player in whose stock teams are most curious is Texas prep righty Shane Baz. Baz has monster stuff — a mid-90s fastball and chance for a plus slider and curveball — and is a top-15 talent because of it, but there has been talk about teams picking early in round two trying to move him back there if they can save money with their first pick. I’ve also heard rumors about Baz being a tough sign, and some teams think the rumor is being spread as part of the effort to get him to the second round, but it sounds like his commitment to TCU is actually quite strong. I think he might go as early as fifth overall and that plenty of teams picking in the middle of the first round would draft him were a team to try to get him to slip."

    I would be. As Willihammer posted, the velocity dip after 55-60 pitches isn't good. The velocity in general 88-91 isn't exciting. If he forgoes pitching all together, then they just spent the #1 overall pick on a 1B/DH type.
  21. Vanimal46
    Since there has been a lot of talk on here about going under slot and using it to the team's advantage. This is Eric Longenhagen's thoughts on it FWIW: Estuve 12:03 How much cheaper would Gore have to be than Greene for you to draft him if you were in charge of a team with a top pick (let's say the Reds)? Eric A Longenhagen 12:04 I'm just taking the one I think is better. More uniform bonus amounts from pick to pick means under slot deals are harder to come by.

    NEVER FORGET: Seattle is a place that tops their hot dogs with creme cheese.... Those savages.

    Re: Breslow - The bottom hasn't fallen off for him yet. I'm fine with keeping him until the inevitable implosion. Maybe you believe in veteran leadership, maybe you don't. That's something he provides as a 36 year old. Re: Belisle - He should be replaced. Agreed. Re: Wimmers - This looks like his last shot to make a difference on an MLB roster before getting DFA'd for good. From the looks of it, he may only be on roster for a week or 2. It's possible that all 4 of the minor league options you mentioned will get their chance in the MLB. I don't know much about Bard or Curtiss to have an opinion on them. Let's also not pretend these are plan A for the Twins to call up. Curtiss and Bard are probably plan F and G on the pre-season plans.

    Well this just snuck up on us... Jake Reed made his debut on June 2nd! In that appearance he didn't do that great. He pitched 1/3 of an inning, walking 3 batters, and striking out a batter. 20 pitches, 7 strikes. Somehow he got the win* *Win stats are meaningless. He also pitched yesterday 6-5 for Chattanooga. That appearance went much better than his debut! 2 IP - 1 hit - 0 R - 2 K - 32 pitches and 22 strikes
  25. Vanimal46
    He's really snuck up on our radar the last couple of weeks. I'm very intrigued with Gore, and hope to read an article about him on here soon!
