    Who had their money on Jeb Bush and Derek Jeter teaming up to buy the Marlins? According to early reports, the price is $1.3 B for the franchise. Jeff Loria purchased the franchise for $158 MM in 2002. Not a bad investment to flip. And one of the worst owners in sports is finally out of the picture.

    Bowling?

    The really stupid thing about this unwritten rule: Yeah, so Haley plunked their CF. Didn't see the pitch, but from reading others on here, it was an accident. Because Haley doesn't get to hit, the Tigers get to CHOOSE who they want to plunk on the Twins. So they choose the team's best player. If the whole point of the rule is to retaliate and things are over, how is that fair that the Tigers get to decide when and whom is getting plunked?

    I'm a bit skeptical of fast risers so close to their respective draft date... Usually doesn't turn out well in the NFL when someone rises from a 3rd round pick to a 1st round pick a couple of weeks before the draft.

    RMR 1:07 Am I missing something with these reports of the White Sox being in on Robert? Seems like they would be less likely considering they're the only of the rumored teams to have not blown their pool amount already. Eric A Longenhagen 1:07 They're on him and have more or less set the market at this point. This would be unfortunate. White Sox are rebuilding very quickly if they pick up this guy.

    Hunter Greene mention on FG chat today: Lord of the Infield Flies 12:53 Who's the most athletic pitcher you've scouted? And what do you look for on the mound when judging athleticism? Eric A Longenhagen 12:54 Hunter Greene. watching them field their position, repeat their deliveries, balance and control when they're on their front foot, pick off move quickness from righties. Those are all points of identification for me. It's also nice when Greene or Matt Bowman or Casey Kelly play SS for you, too.

    Saw this on the Fangraphs' chat today: Colin 12:31 Is Luis Robert the No. 2 international prospect in the world behind Mr. Otani? And what kind of a contract will he command? Eric A Longenhagen 12:32 If you wanted to say that, based on how close he is to the Majors relative to the July 2 kids, I wouldn't argue. It'll be north of $20 mil (with the tax included) when he signs.

    In theory, every player is supposed to have the same strike zone. Then I thought that's where pitch framing comes into play, where Castro frames things so brilliantly that the fringe calls go the Twins way.
  9. Vanimal46
    If they move to a computerized system, that would eliminate all of Jason Castro's value as a pitch-framing God. I'm not ready for that to happen. They did resize the strike zone this year, so maybe the complaining we're seeing are players that haven't adjusted to the new zone yet. Just a guess on my part.

    Sold! Well, I've been sold on Greene for a few months now.

    "Moonshot Mike" Tonkin Miguel "The Big Cat" Sano "Professor" Ervin Santana

    Trading Dozier has always made the most sense... And was discussed at length over the off-season. However, if there truly is not a market for Dozier (sigh) and they're forced to keep him, then other players need to be on the trading block. Guys like Nick Gordon, Wander Javier, etc.

    Very interesting indeed... Not much they can do if Gibson won't listen to advice from the coaches. The last 40+ starts ranging from okay to brutal hasn't changed his mind to seek advice from other people?

    AP is good insurance for Ingram... IIRC, Ingram gets injured quite a bit. Though that could be a negative perspective on Ingram after 1 lousy year of him on a fantasy football team.
  15. Vanimal46
    AP is officially a New Orleans Saint. 2 years $7 MM. Over/under 1,000 total yards for him next season?
  16. Vanimal46
    Yes? Also, Martin Perez is about to enter.... When Sano shows up at the plate!!
  17. Vanimal46
    Read this in Billy Mays' voice... Left with a smile.
  18. Vanimal46
    Wow, it certainly looks like the Red Sox pitcher wanted to play hero and plunk Machado no matter what.
  19. Vanimal46
    There's a lot to like about Target Field. Land constraint, location, mass transit all around.
  20. Vanimal46
    Not Twins-related, but a fascinating read on Fangraphs nonetheless. "The New Generation of Ballparks is Pushing Us Away"

    Whole Foods believe it or not has REALLY tasty crow! They say it's sourced locally, so I feel good knowing that it's not a processed crow from some far away land.
  22. Vanimal46
    I usually have a couple of crows in the freezer just in case if some of my predictions on this site don't come true!

    Gibson is the Alexi Casilla of pitching... He showed he could be a decent pitcher over a 3-4 month sample, and we've been chasing that success ever since... He's had a long leash here since there hasn't been anything better to challenge his status in the rotation. Time is running out with him in this organization.

    This is a brilliant idea! College football teams put stickers on their helmets for some reason or another... MLB teams should have coffee cup patches each time a player is called up!

    Does anyone want to buy in on a group purchase for Nick Tepesch Twins jerseys?!!
