    This isn't really a Vikings related thing... But, how about those LA Super Chargers?! Stupid, greedy relocation for no reason.

    Whether the Twins sign Joey Bats, Trumbo, or whoever, can there at least be some activity this off-season? The fact that a 59 win team is doing very little to change the roster is mind boggling to me.

    I love this idea, as it gives players an opportunity to make a very good living compared to the traditional scholarship offered at universities. I've got to imagine though, once a kid accepts $50,000 from the San Diego Snakes, they would lose their NCAA eligibility, no?

    It was announced this morning that the Pacific Coast Football League is now a thing. This league is for players who have graduated from high school, but have not met the 3 year post high school requirement to be eligible for the draft. "The four-team league, based in Southern California, says it will pay players an average salary of $50,000 and play eight games "under professional football rules, protocols and style," according to a statement sent out by the league." Each team will have 50 players on it, and they'll be coached by professional and college ranked people. They'll be recruiting kids in winter 2017 in order to start playing full-time in the summer 2018. Much more at the link here.

    I don't agree with Dave that De Leon by himself is a reasonable return for Dozier.... However, I do agree with him that the Twins are making a mistake holding Dozier for a better offer down the line.

    Never been to Oakland but the stadium looks like a concrete dump on TV...

    Good lord let's hope not. I assume it's going to be a spring training audition for another team, or he could have an agreement like Robbie Grossman had with Cleveland.... Where if he's not called up by May 1st, he can opt-out.

    Today's Question: Vampire Weekend: It's the evening before your wedding. Everything is going as planned; you are spending the afternoon with a few old friends, chatting casually about old times. Suddenly, your spouse-to-be bursts into the room, totally hysterical. Your spouse-to-be insists that s/he has just seen a vampire. When you ask what this means, s/he says: "I was looking out of the window of my hotel room, and I could see into the apartment building across the street. That's when I saw the vampire. I saw a man in a black cape bite a woman's neck and drink her blood. I know this must sound crazy, but I am that certain what I saw is real." Your prospective (and sober) spouse is in a state of panic and pleads with you to believe his/her story. You can tell that this is really, really important to him/her. Knowing the fragility of the situation and the intensity of the timing, do you tell your potential spouse that you do, in fact, completely believe that s/he saw a vampire across the street? All of your old friends are watching this conversation.

    To answer yesterday's question, I'm concurring with Chi and saying #2... Even though #3 is an immediate, gratifying feeling, there's nothing better than lying on an especially comfy bed after a long day.

    One of these years I'm going to make this event... Too many weddings to attend, not enough PTO days.
  11. Vanimal46
    That's fair, and Joey Bats is a pipe dream anyway. I just want something to happen.... This off-season has a serious lack of activity.
  12. Vanimal46
    How much money is the 2nd round pick worth? Would it be so bad to invest heavy in the top 2 picks and not save pool money for later round picks? I think the Twins have depth, but could use high end talent.
  13. Vanimal46
    Then I'd probably take that kid with the comp pick at the end of the 1st round....
  14. Vanimal46
    Which place is worse to watch a baseball game? Oakland Stadium? or MetroDome?
  15. Vanimal46
    Tough to say what Dan was assuming. I'm still under the assumption that it was not a 1-1 swap. The negotiations would not have lasted over a month for a 1-1 swap.
  16. Vanimal46
    Um... yeah. Those are ace-like numbers here in Minnesota.

    I want to believe TD's own scottz submitted this question today: scottz 2:33 How much did the Eaton trade affect other trades like Quintana and Dozier by making it seem like everyone was just going to give away the prospect store to acquire a known MLB asset? Dan Szymborski 2:33 I think teams like the Twins have become greedier. And I think the Twins are going to get bitten in the ass on the Dozier thing.
  19. Vanimal46
    Would they also not trade Jeff Kobemus for Bautista? You know, Jeff Kobemus? 2009 2-1 draft pick? Who could also forget Sammy Solis? 2010 2-1 draft pick. He's a guy I'd hold on to for sure.
  20. Vanimal46
    It's easy to talk yourself out of a deal when you put a name towards the draft pick.... That's part of the gamble. Will Bautista make more of an impact than the 2nd round pick? Absolutely. There's also the chance to flip him for a compatible prospect you could get in the 2nd round....
  21. Vanimal46
    Both signings are snoozers. Can't imagine Vogelsong is more than just a spring training audition to land somewhere else. Tepesch looks like a capable AAA arm. And that's about it.

    JT 12:23 Which team is more screwed, the Twins or the A's? The twins rebuild has gone so slowly and all of their prospects look like busts, they need to tear down again but this time they don't have anything to sell. The A's have a meh farm, a mediocre team, cheap ownership, no stadium, and they are losing their revenue sharing Dave Cameron 12:24 I don't agree that all the Twins prospects look like busts, or that they need to tear down. They aren't ready to win yet, but there's still some young talent there that could improve. The A's definitely need some resolution on their stadium situation.
  23. Vanimal46
    Dave Cameron is pretty bullish about this trade: Zonk 12:21 Is Jose Deleon a reasonable return for Brian Dozier? Are the Twins being too cute here? Dave Cameron 12:21 Yeah, I think Minnesota is making a mistake. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/the-twins-should-take-jose-de-leon-while-they-can/
