    Regardless if the Twins extend Buxton or Sano now, or 3-4 years down the line, I hope both are in Twins uniforms through their age 30-31 season. After that, I probably won't care if someone else pays them $$$$ for their declining years (unless they're HOF bound, of course)

    Lol... Looks like they had to photoshop some orange off his face to match the new photoshopped hand.
  3. Vanimal46
    I don't know if they'd need to double the numbers right now. They're both going to make ~$500k the next 2 years (unless Sano is 1 year ahead in service time? Didn't look it up) then anywhere between $40-60 million in arbitration if they're really good. Buying out the first year or 2 of FA would be where it gets very expensive.

    I don't think we'll see any major moves happening. Seems like everyone is on hold until the expansion draft for the new Las Vegas team next year.
  5. Vanimal46
    Buxton and Sano would be relatively safe extension candidates. Buxton should continue to provide elite defense, and if the bat comes around, even better. Sano may be playing out of position right now, but once Mauer is gone he could be a 30+ HR 1B or DH. 7 years, let's say $85-95 million a piece.

    That's how it is down here... If you want space and value, you have to search in suburbs on the outskirts of town (Cedar Park, Round Rock, Pfluegerville) , or in the parts of the city that have not been gentrified. In most desired neighborhoods, $500k and up is the going rate.

    As much as I'd like to find a condo or smaller house so I can pay myself back instead of a property management company, I also love the neighborhood I live in... Hard to justify moving out when there's 50+ bars and restaurants within walking distance, and Top Golf across the street.

    Feeling your pain in Austin, TX as well... Median price for a single family house is $340,000 and continuing to increase.

    Again, someone needs to take away his Twitter account before something terrible happens....

    Eric Staal has been a pleasant surprise this season where they finally have a 1st line C to build around. Let's hope coach Boudreau can help this team go far in the playoffs.

    And Pacifico, my favorite Mexican beer...
  12. Vanimal46
    Yep, no matter who you voted for, I think we can all come to an agreement that someone needs to take away his Twitter account ASAP.

    Since this is top of mind as I just had a meeting with my financial advisor yesterday.... Wins in 2016: Microsoft - Brock explained it best. Recovered well from their failed attempt in mobile. Hoping for more growth Union Pacific Corp - Big y/y growth from $69 a share to $110 today. Time Warner Inc - Bought in at $70 a share - $96 today. Even though they have the worst customer service on planet Earth. I'm also waning about Apple.... since I don't have enough shares to make a difference, we'll ride out the waves.

    Also, this is a little too early yet, but with Trump looking to spend $1 Trillion on infrastructure (most likely going to be $300-400 Billion instead) it may be worth looking into specific companies that will get the work to improve bridges, roads, etc. No idea who that company(ies) could be right now.

    With the impending reduction in corporate tax rate, I'll be looking to invest in more U.S. equities than I have in the last 2-3 years.

    Counterpoint: We were told he's a meteoric riser, a strikeout machine, and possesses a devastating change up a little over a month ago per our own Nick Nelson. "All About Jose De Leon"
  17. Vanimal46
    All you have to do is look at the pitching staff to say they have a chance to lose 90+ games again.

    Why is Steve Adams a credible source? Don't they just gather data from other reporters and sources at MLB Trade Rumors? He's not out there gathering his own leads.

    Concur with spycake. Smith isn't my first choice, and frankly I did not know he existed until this morning. If he's one of the better FA RPs left, then let's go for it. If he fails in Minnesota, cut him loose for another young player. The Twins have gone through a baker's dozen of relievers last year anyway.

    Congrats on the new car! What kind are you getting?

    Happy Thursday! Today is National Spouses Day! So make sure to tell your better half that you love them today.... Maybe surprise them with something special! That way you can take some pressure off of Valentine's Day coming up.... Today is also National Peanut Brittle Day! I am a fan of this candy, but don't have it often. Today is also National Green Juice Day! A girl in my office loves making green juice, and often times I'll have the leftovers.... Not too bad! On this day in 1988, "The Phantom of the Opera" made its' debut on Broadway! It has gone on to be Broadway's longest running shows, and the most financially successful event in entertainment history! Also, on this day in 1998, this happened: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBe_guezGGc

    This helps clear up a TON of confusion on this site, if what he says is true. Thank you for another perspective. IMO it should deserve a pinned article because we've been posting from different perspectives all day.... Some posters have been adamant that the offer was 1:1.... Others are passionate the offer was De Leon and someone else. Again, pick your flavor for the other person. Who here can put their Sherlock cap on and figure out this puzzle?!

    I see an opportunity to upgrade the back of the bullpen. Last year the plan was May/Jepsen/Perkins and fill in the rest. Didn't work out well as we know. This year are we really heading into the season with Kintzler as the closer again? Is Chargois ready for the 8th inning set up role? It'd feel much better with someone like Feliz brought on to anchor the back end of the pen.

    Every team needs bullpen arms. And as we've seen the last couple of July trade deadlines, bullpen arms generate a pretty good return. Seems like a cost effective way to acquire additional talent for a team that has few trade able assets.

    My childhood is calling on line 3... sounds pretty upset you don't know who Gordon Bombay is.
