    No kidding about Bellinger... If he was ever mentioned in a trade proposal* they should have faxed over the paperwork immediately. Dude is a stud. *He was not

    In another episode of completely unneeded sequels. "Top Gun 2" will start filming soon.

    Down south, Coke is a generic brand... An example when you go into a restaurant, "I'll take a Coke of Sprite."

    What in the world is a Kam Mickolio?
  5. Vanimal46
    Agreed. If this is an evaluation year, then the point is to shuffle through all of the options and discard bad players. If this is a contending year, then there's no room for those kinds of players anyway.

    Jay was just activated from the DL a week ago... He should be right up there on the list for fast tracking to the majors.

    Dodgers' fans could be saying the same thing about Dozier... Since the new regime were the ones saying over the off-season that he's on the trade block.
  8. Vanimal46
    Frankly Pressly should have been sent down 3+ weeks ago. At this point he could have made 4-5 appearances at AAA to get back on track. If it's a mental issue and not an injury issue that's causing him to struggle, I don't see the point in continuing to trot him out there once every week or so.

    Re: Astroturf... That stuff has come a long ways over the years. Our family installed it in the backyard for a zero maintenance, drought resistant look. It's nearly identical to the feel of grass on your bare feet... Compared to 15+ years ago where it felt like hard carpet, and the burns you'd get by diving on it.... Good god how did Torii Hunter survive so many diving catches on that old turf at the Metrodome?

    I'd like this strategy of taking on additional salary. Especially this season when the payroll is low to begin with. It would take some magic from Falvey and Levine to convince Pohlad to take on $10+ MM in payroll halfway through the year, though.

    Strange to claim the Twins won this non-trade.... Shouldn't we follow this for the next 6 years and see who's better?

    Are we sure we're looking at stars, and not baseballs that were launched into space off the hand of Moon Shot Scott Baker?
  13. Vanimal46
    Couldn't agree more. They need to step up and make some investments if they want a good bullpen. I don't know how many more years we have to keep playing supplementary pieces in high leverage roles... Hasn't worked for 4+ years.

    I'm not sure if Duffey was ever considered the organization's top 5-6 starters 2 months ago. He was certainly the odd man out in the rotation without May's unfortunate injury. IMO trusting the process is leaving Duffey in the role they wanted him to be in all along.... Leading the bullpen.
  15. Vanimal46
    Concur. Let's learn a lesson from Trevor May and give Duffey a clear role. The last thing this team needs is trying to stretch out Duffey and he blows out his elbow as well.

    Pictured: Thad Levine keeps looking in his box of tricks hoping there's another starter to try out in the organization.... Comes up short. http://25.media.tumblr.com/7a5785f8f4674d00c9862242fbee5891/tumblr_mi2lfpxPIO1r72ht7o1_500.gif

    A lot of these guys being discussed for promotion (Busenitz, Bard, Turley, Curtiss) aren't exciting names... Sounds more like shifting chairs on the Titanic. I'd rather promote the players who were drafted high and supposed to have more upside (Chargois and Reed when they're healthy, Melotakis) than marginal 26-28 year olds.

    This is the first thing it does while reading forums before redirecting to that other spam website...

    This news does make me more skeptical than ever about prospects who are advertised as "quick to the majors"... Obviously injuries can't be predicted, but Burdi's been advertised as near MLB ready since he was drafted. 3 years of injuries derailed that narrative. So this year in the draft I'm very, very hesitant when I read about Wright being near MLB ready as a good reason to draft him over Greene. I want the highest ceiling instead...

    That is a crime to walk inside a Red Lobster and not eat their food! We need to speak with the manager and at least get cheddar bay biscuits delivered to our tables....
  23. Vanimal46
    This is really unfortunate news for him. Guy can't catch a break from the injury bug.
  24. Vanimal46
    If they continue to tank, I'd ask about any of their starters not named Bumgarner.... Cueto, Shark, Cain, Moore.... Any would work.
