    I hope you guys are going to see an entertaining game this afternoon. I'm one of those people who fills out a bracket and proceeds to watch very little of the tournament. If they lose, blame it on me selecting the motherland to win today.

    Hmm, on second thought, I propose Miguel Sano uses a segway any time he has to run the bases. No more hammy issues for him! http://www.segway.com/media/1214/02_tours_segway.png

    Great post! There's definitely a distrust between the FO and fans.... We've been hardwired to think a certain way because the past regime had clear trends on how they built the 25 man roster. I hope we're all pleasantly surprised by the new regime's moves when the season gets underway. Molitor is still the bridge between the old and new regimes. And, like you said, he's shown a tendency to prefer veterans over young players. That in itself is scary since he's the one dictating playing time.

    Agreed. I'm slightly concerned that he put up pedestrian rushing yards behind one of the best OLs in the league last year. A better version of Matt Asiata is a good way to put it. Even with this signing, I still think I would draft another RB.

    Latavius Murray.... Your thoughts?

    Remember when one of the ad boxes here was a quiz? That was fun. Now that small talk is over, can you share your google history so I can score a mail order bride?

    Wow, Thielen got PAID! Good for him! 3 yrs, $27 MM with $11 MM guaranteed. Go Mavericks!

    If we really want to get crazy, tomorrow is National Everything You Do is Right! Day. So if you've never changed the oil in your car, and decide to do it tomorrow, have no fear! You're doing things the right way.

    Agreed. The movie industry has officially run out of original ideas it appears.

    Same... Saw it on Sunday last weekend. It felt like an SNL bit that went for approximately 90 minutes too long. I like the lead actresses and was hoping for a few funny lines, but unfortunately it was just a crappy movie.

    Time to bring this thread back. Were you guys SALIVATING for a reboot of The Matrix? Well, you're about to get that soon.

    You didn't look at your neighbor's windowsill to see if a pie was out there? Do people still put pies on windowsills? What year is this?
  13. Vanimal46
    Happy Tuesday to you too.
  14. Vanimal46
    I'm trying to figure out your argument throughout this thread and I'm lost.
  15. Vanimal46
    Probably slim. There's not many teams with a more dire pitching rotation than the Twins... San Diego Dad's are going with youth, as are the Reds. Don't see either one adding a 39 year old to the mix.
  16. Vanimal46
    He's a nice insurance policy in case if Alexander is bad. He played in 73% of defensive snaps last season, and I wouldn't expect him to play more than 50% this season.
  17. Vanimal46
    I hope there is no "par" this season. And evaluate after each outing to see if a particular pitcher's stuff is still looking good or else replace him with a young option. With Pelfrey, it was noticeable that his sinker was no longer looking as good as it did earlier in the year. Since his stats looked decent from a hot start, they kept with status quo. I hope that will be the difference we see between the new and old regimes. Concur with your thoughts on Vogelsong. This is also something that I hope the new FO steps up and takes care of. The minor league options aren't getting any younger. If this is truly an evaluation year, then let's not waste time evaluating a 39 year old pitcher who isn't going to be here 12 months from now.

    A CB is much needed on this roster.. Wonder what happened with the Buffalo CB they were supposed to be talking to? He would work. There's some other names I recognize that are available (Verner from TB, Shields from GB, Claiborne from DAL, Leon Hall) but frankly I don't know if they are still good options or if they've fallen off some.
  19. Vanimal46
    Is everyone RELAXED? It's not like Chicago just took the lead in the division or something... *Looks at standings* *Starts hyperventilating in a paper bag* I'm so relaxed right now. R-E-L-A-X. At least the Hurricanes are a bad team coming up next!
  20. Vanimal46
    Yeah, I haven't watched a second of it either. With baseball returning to the summer olympics in 2020, they can't really say the WBC is their version of the olympics.... If they really want this tournament to grow and succeed, maybe they need to take a page out of the NHL's playbook. That league shuts down for 2+ weeks during the middle of the season so the players can participate in the winter olympics. They could forgo the All-Star festivities and instead have this tournament in the middle of July instead.
  21. Vanimal46
    If Buxton is unfortunately injured for a period of time, Granite can and should be called up to play. I concur with Sconnie. No reason to have 5 OF on roster when the game plan is Rosario-Buxton-Kepler playing 125+ games. If Stubbs clears waivers and accepts playing in AAA, great! Hope he stays with the Twins. If he opts out or gets claimed, oh well.
  22. Vanimal46
    At this point I'll take a young Boof Bonser or Moonshot Scott Baker.
  23. Vanimal46
    Tommy Milone was the 5th starter last season, no? And he started 4 games in April... Not sure I agree that they're barely used.
  24. Vanimal46
    Yay? Good job Rick for signing a guy.
  25. Vanimal46
    I'm trying not to kill the messenger here, believe me. The Twins signed Belisle/Breslow/Kintzler to get 1-2 months of work out of them and cut bait? Just saying, it's skeptical at best.... I'll withhold my pitchfork until there's real evidence from the new regime.... It would be a welcomed approach compared to the past, where veterans only get cut if they were truly awful. And still they would have a spot as mop up guy for another month.
