    Yeah not my best effort... A call and lunch put a damper on the timing.
  2. Vanimal46
    They're really hard to remember, though.
  3. Vanimal46
    It's okay. The kid woke up.
  4. Vanimal46
    Did you hear about the kidnapping at school?
  5. Vanimal46
    Ah, gotcha. My mistake, I thought you meant the entire trade market for MLB talent has changed.
  6. Vanimal46
    I agree with that. I don't agree that the market has changed since last week. It's still a seller's market.
  7. Vanimal46
    Were the Cards, Mets, etc. calling a week ago?
  8. Vanimal46
    What's changed on the market from a week ago when Eaton = 3 top 10 org prospects?
  9. Vanimal46
    We need some Chief jokes in here.... I remember the first time I saw a universal remote control... I thought to myself, "Well, this changes everything!"
  10. Vanimal46
    Good for him to find a team that will give him a major league contract.

    To piggy back off of Mike, I think I shared the link in another thread. Kevin Clark of The Ringer hit the nail right on the head concerning the NFL's stars and scrubs roster construction if you'd like to read it. "The NFL has an Age Problem"
  12. Vanimal46
    Can't see the Plouffe market heating up until February/March... My guess is he ends up on the A's.
  13. Vanimal46
    They still need a closer - Holland, Feliz, pick your favorite reclamation project I also wouldn't mind 1 veteran starter that could be flipped in July when Mejia/Gonsalves or whoever from AAA is ready for an MLB rotation spot.
  14. Vanimal46
    Can't say I'm excited about the roster layout right now. Still a lot of clean up left to do. D Santana and Grossman should both be off the roster. Berrios has to be in the starting rotation. Kintzler can not be the opening day closer.
  15. Vanimal46
    I got the same email when the overnight low was 34 degrees....
  16. Vanimal46
    Not sure if that would be a nightmare or a dream scenario to be stuck at school.... Leaning towards nightmare.

    We have some fun things to talk about today! Today is National Cupcake Day! Feels like only a couple of weeks ago it was vanilla cupcake day. If you didn't get your fix then, you can redeem yourself today! Today is also Bill of Rights Day! This was a proclaimed day by President FDR, and to celebrate, put an American Flag on your window at work. Because, 'Murica! Today is also National Cat Herders Day! Dinger is one cat away from becoming a herder. Also, Chi is Santa Cat. On this day in 1979, North and his Canadian friend sat down for a game of scrabble. They were missing a few tiles, mainly because North was losing and threw the game down in disgust, so they came up with a plan.... This plan was to create a whole new game using inconsequential facts. When it rolled out world wide, it became one of the most popular board games ever... That game, is Trivial Pursuit!

    It's definitely a tight rope to walk across when it comes to prospects. Hard to tell if a consensus top 10 overall prospect in the game is really going to turn out that great, or if that's the highest value they'll ever have. It'd be interesting to see data from the top 10 prospects in the MLB each year and see how many exceed, meet, or fail to meet expectations. I think.... I'd lean towards seeing what you can get for the prospects that is proven. As far as the NFL, absolutely. I'd gamble on trading a draft pick for proven players every year. The fail rate on even 1st rounders alone has to be ~40%
  19. Vanimal46
    Interesting stuff. Feels like Giolito was exposed last year after he was called up. He may just be one of those players who's highest value was before they even get close to the majors. He was so highly ranked on most every media outlets' prospect list entering the 2016 season. They could have gotten a king's ransom for him at the time....
  20. Vanimal46
    Oh what are you talking about Chief? We have the Twi....... well, the Viki........ the Timbe....... Wil.......... How about those Lynx?!
  21. Vanimal46
    On today's Fangraphs chat: 12:14 Chris: Wondering what you think of a Dozier trade to the Dodgers. I’ve heard rumors of DeLeon, Alvarez and one or two lesser pieces. Better for Twins or Dodgers? 12:14 Dave Cameron: I wouldn’t give up that much.
  22. Vanimal46
    Is it really going to help with competitive balance though? Sure, in the past the Dodgers of the world could offer the most money and recruit the top international free agents to come on board. If the top player from Cuba has 10 offers for the same salary, he could still choose the Dodgers over a small market team like the Reds.
  23. Vanimal46
    I hope you're right. I certainly don't know the right answer either. If the money just goes into the owner's pocket, that would be the worst case scenario.
  24. Vanimal46
    Yeah, for sure. I think some of them do.... Lance McCullers comes to mind where his agent told teams don't bother drafting him unless you pay him above the draft slot.
  25. Vanimal46
    Ah that's my mistake. So he took the $2 million because he initially agreed to a contract with them that was voided, and because of that, the Astros have to put him on the 40 man as soon as 2018?
