    Oh yeah... That's the good stuff. This take could use a little more spice and heat to reach scorching level.

    I don't think it boils down to that. Molitor could value Adrianza's defense and let Polanco be the utility guy this year. Based on what we saw last season I would almost bet on Adrianza being the guy to start most games at SS because he's better defensively than Polanco.
  3. Vanimal46
    Not really... All it would take is Molitor valuing defense over offense.

    Miami Dolphins LT Braden Albert is on the way out... But it sounds like he may be on the way to Jacksonville via trade.

    Concur. Survive out there for 2 years, and transition to 1B/DH once Mauer is gone. We're all going to be much happier when he can settle in that spot for a decade.
  6. Vanimal46
    Worst case I could make it out there solo and enjoy the show!

    I think the SS competition between Polanco and Adrianza is closer than we like to believe. It would not surprise me if Adrianza started more games at SS than Polanco this season.

    I'm not getting much traction of people willing to go on a Wednesday night On a side note, Jimmy Eat World and Incubus are coming to town on August 4th!! I can take or leave Jimmy Eat World, but very very excited for Incubus!!

    2017 is shaping up to be Year to not be a professional wrestler if you want to continue breathing.

    The Minnesota Wild talk forum is going to be the hot spot in June when they lift up Lord Stanley Cup!!

    Set your DVRs to BBC America tomorrow night at 8:00 PM CT.... Planet Earth 2 is making it's US debut!

    Another guy, like Blankenhorn, where it's hard to get too excited about right now. Too far away, and too many things that still need to happen in his development.
  13. Vanimal46
    You and my brother both... He's way more technical than me, and is currently building a switchboard type thing with the Raspberry Pi.

    Other books that are on my list: A Life In Parts by Bryan Cranston Hitler: Ascent 1889-1939 by Volker Ullrich Seinfeldia: How a Show about Nothing Changed Everything by Jennifer Keishin Armstrong Generally I like reading about interesting, successful people's lives, or something that deals with history. The Seinfeld book is just because I was a big fan of the show.

    The latest book I read was A Life Well Played: My Stories by Arnold Palmer. It was a great read! Short chapters covering many topics throughout his life. It almost felt like you were in the same room as him sharing an Arnold Palmer together as he told you these stories.... Some of my favorite topics from him: - His thoughts on Jack Nicklaus - Signing autographs (and doing a damn good job at it too - no lazy signatures, ever, from him) - His love of flying... If he didn't make it on the golf course, he would have been an airline pilot - How he got the Golf Channel off the ground

    Concur. 3 locks, Hughes is still a wild card at best.
  17. Vanimal46
    Agreed on Kalil. Would you put the franchise tag on him? He's certainly not worth the gamble of a multi-year deal unless he proves that he's healthy again. His regression in 2014/2015 was alarming to say the least.
  18. Vanimal46
    Couldn't disagree more with your last paragraph. With this logic, Manny Machado doesn't care about the Orioles, Julio Urias hates the Dodgers, etc.
  19. Vanimal46
    That's what I'm here for! To spew the takes, and ask the HARD HITTING questions.
  20. Vanimal46
    Yeah I suppose. He's still down there in Florida right now and getting the crash course before leaving for this tournament, no? Being with the coaches every day is a good thing, but pitching against Manny Machado 3 times a game instead of Manny MayNeverMakeIt is also valuable.
  21. Vanimal46
    I don't get why Berrios pitching in the WBC is viewed as a negative thing... There's a lot of very good players going to the tournament. Probably better talent than what he would face in spring training this year if he stayed in Florida.
  22. Vanimal46
    We heard John's side of the story that you misunderstood the initial offer and John became a petulant, pouty ass as a result of it. What's your side of the story, Brock?
  23. Vanimal46
    He's my top regression candidate.... So yeah, don't think this is going to play out well.
  24. Vanimal46
    I can definitely understand not wanting anything to do with Kalil. At the most, I would grit my teeth and let him come back one more time. I'm not a great OL mind, but if Ty Nsekhe is a better option, by all means I'm all for it.
  25. Vanimal46
    There's a couple of contending teams that should be in the market for a LT this off-season. Seattle had a terrible OL, the NY Giants are close to being a Super Bowl contender, maybe a couple of dark horse teams too. That's what worries me. Even though we know Kalil should not get a multi-year deal, there may be another organization desperate enough to gamble on him.
