    It's a bit too early for me to analyze where RBs will be going in the draft.... But from what I've read, there's a whole bunch of good RBs coming out this year. Who knows, maybe they find a gem like Jordan Howard in the 5th round.

    We're talking about maybe a couple more walk-up sales for tickets. No one is buying season tickets to watch Brian Dozier or any other player. And I'm willing to bet a ton of money that the less fanatical fans will eagerly buy tickets no matter who is on the team if they were on a win streak and/or contending for a playoff spot.

    Agreed. I don't believe they would continue discussing a trade it it was just a 1 for 1 swap... If that was truly the case, the negotiations would be pretty simple. LA GM: "We like Dozier and will offer you De Leon." Falvey: "And?" LA GM: "That's it." Falvey: "That's not going to work." *click*

    It felt like a Sherlock Christmas special last night.... Couldn't agree more with you Mike about Mary. I forgot she even existed as it's been a couple of seasons since she was involved with the show. Is this a 4 episode or 6 episode series? Either way, they need to get back to solving mysteries, and set up a final Sherlock vs. Moriarty show down..

    I'm with Ash... I'd expect an A/B reliever to be a contributor on a playoff team at the very least. None of these guys would have made a contender's playoff roster. Lone exception being one of the many LOOGYs they have.

    Welcome to 2017! This thread, like the energizer bunny, keeps going, and going, and going... Today is National Chocolate Covered Cherry Day! I love me some chocolate, and cherries. Why not both on this particular day! Today is also National Fruitcake Toss Day! A day where you're literally supposed to throw a fruitcake to see how far it goes.... Seems like a waste of fruitcake if you ask me! On this day in 2000, the last daily Peanuts comic strip was released in the newspapers... Peanuts was a syndicated comic strip for 50 years, and made a total of 17,846 comic strips over that duration. Any favorites come to mind? Also, on this day in 1987, Aretha Franklin was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! One of my favorites from her: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGAiW5dOnKo

    Welcome aboard, fellow millenial.

    Giving a 31/32 year old player 5 years 100+ million isn't something we've ever seen in Minnesota... I'm skeptical to say the least the Pohlad's will ever allow this.

    Lots of coaches getting the axe this year. As far as Vikings coaches go, I'd be willing to bet Zimmer and Shermer stays; Sporano hits the road. Before the season it was viewed as a strength to have 4 former HCs on one staff. In reality, it looks like there were too many cooks in the kitchen.
  10. Vanimal46
    Sure would be nice to find a 3rd team willing to take Erv Santana to get a better haul of prospects.
  11. Vanimal46
    Don't worry, RB and I don't know how to create serious game threads! Whether the Twins are 24-41 or 41-24, Whine Line: Used Car Lot Edition, County Fair Edition, or Gypsy Edition will always be open for business! Don't take this as an old age joke, but my grandpa had a similar story to you... He knew the big city wasn't for him and moved back to the family farm during the Great Depression. Never left after that. He also believed stop signs were for the out of towners, so it's a good thing he didn't live in a big city!

    Don't worry, we millenials will stick together against these baby boomers!

    Grew up in Mankato, MN, spent a couple years in St. Louis Park before bolting south. Been living in Austin, TX for nearly 3 years. 26 years old.... with my current back injury feeling more like 86. It wasn't really the Twins, per say that got me into baseball. I was 8 years old in 1998, and the McGwire/Sosa HR race was a daily read for me in the paper/Baseball Tonight. Went to my first Twins game that I can remember when Bob Tewksbury was chucking beach balls down the plate. Favorite Twins..... Johan Santana, Justin Morneau, Joe Mauer (the catcher) Favorite Twins memories.... 2003 playoff win against Oakland. The incredible 2nd half comeback in 2006 to win the division on the last game of the regular season. Heard about TD while listening to KFAN. John mentioned the site on the morning show, and I was looking for a place to keep me attached to the motherland. Chief was just starting his over/under wins contest and the rest is history! You'll see me here on a near daily basis. For the lurkers who may be afraid to get started, my advice is to jump right in! Whatever your interests are: Twins, minor leagues, MLB in general, food, TV, or spewing SCORCHING HOT sports takes, you'll find it here!

    Let's Skype sometime...
  16. Vanimal46
    Exactly. Why else do you think the sales guy rushes off the phone after you agreed to purchase top of the line software for your company?
  17. Vanimal46
    Yep, as we sales people like to say, "Time kills deals." We're seeing it on this thread. De Leon was introduced in detail weeks ago. Now that a few weeks have gone by, people are less excited about the benefits and analyzing the flaws more. Stewart is the newest pitcher introduced to us in more detail, so his benefits are perceived to be better than De Leon's flaws.

    Falvey blasts this song on repeat when researching Dodgers' prospects.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5aZJBLAu1E

    This song is dedicated to Dave's original thread during the slow time of year... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJ58TVYNFro

    We need Brock to provide analysis on his favorite pitcher, Pat Dean.
  22. Vanimal46
    It's too bad the Dodgers went all in on Rich Hill, who IMO is a mid-rotation arm. Could have been a combo platter to offer both Erv and Dozier to get quality over quantity.
  23. Vanimal46
    Cool. What does that have to do with the current regime for the Twins?
  24. Vanimal46
    Anything is possible. What's more likely to happen? Him increasing or decreasing his value? I'm leaning towards the latter, clearly.
  25. Vanimal46
    And in the case you made in the 2nd paragraph, that team will say we offered you De Leon/Stewart/x before. Now it's Stewart and x. We lost value because he dipped back to his career norms, and 6 months of control on his contract.
