    Concur. The stove is hot. Red hot. Hot enough that if you touch it, you'll get 3rd degree burns. It's going to take months for the stove to get this hot again. Strike while the iron is hot as they say.

    It's nice when they have legitimate MLB players to trade, unlike the Twins at the time.... It all depends on the White Sox ability to develop these guys. They are notorious for rushing guys through the system and letting people sink or swim in the MLB.

    I think in the ESPN article I read they said Eaton has 2 team options for 2020 and 2021 for a reasonable price in the $10 million range.
  6. Vanimal46
    That's good news!! What are you craving for the first meal post pancreatitis?
  7. Vanimal46
    Fine with me. Though I would like to strike while the iron is hot... And apparently some of these GMs are getting drunk at the hotel to make some of these trades.
  8. Vanimal46
    Yep, for the love of God trade the man....

    As an outsider, I'm wondering why the Nationals were hell-bent on trading Giolito this off-season? Do they know something that we don't? Eaton was a 6 WAR player last year who can play all OF positions, top of the order hitter, and signed for the next 5 years. There's a lot of value in that.
  10. Vanimal46
    Well, we as fans tend to over rate prospects every year. Eaton's been sneaky good the last 3 years, and topped out at 6 WAR this year. He's 28 and signed through his age 33 season where you'd want to get rid of him at that point. The ball is in the White Sox' court to make this a good deal from their side. Fix Giolito and develop the other 2 prospects.
  11. Vanimal46
    Yeah Eaton was a 6 WAR player this year and under contract for another 5 years at a reasonable rate. He certainly has a lot of value as a top of the order hitter. I'm wondering if the Nats are trying to get out while they're ahead with Giolito. They seemed pretty hell-bent on trading him this winter.
  12. Vanimal46
    Why do I have a feeling that the Nationals know something about Giolito that they're not telling us? I get he's their best trade chip from a prospect standpoint, but he's been involved in a ton of trade rumors this off-season.
  13. Vanimal46
    Good deal. Looking forward to hearing the official details.
  14. Vanimal46
    Ideally, Rosario fits best as a 4th OF, but I won't mind if he starts out the season as the starting LF. Palka is on the radar for a potential call-up in 2017. I'd love to find a way to get Grossman off the roster and find a good defensive backup OF. Enge proposed Rajai Davis to face lefties. He sounds good to me. Angel Pagan is a switch hitter who's pretty balanced against RH and LH pitching. This guy hits LH but offers some positional flexibility -- Chris Coghlan

    Ironically, we just signed the contract to appear on 104.7 The PURR

    That is quite the head scratcher if Desmond is really going to play 1B for them... Hell, the Twins have plenty of them to trade away. No reason to pay Desmond that kind of money!
  17. Vanimal46
    Oh man, is that the same time you're painting that wall and watching it dry properly? Catching flack from your wife that your sock drawer is messy?

    Ladies and Gentleman, your Time Magazine Person of the Year 2016 is.......
  19. Vanimal46
    Yeah good points. I could have just looked at myself in the mirror and think about my fandom with the Minnesota Vikings.... If they're doing good, everyone's excited and shouting from the rooftops "Super Bowl Homeboy!!" When they're struggling, and it's a nice day outside, I'm choosing to golf instead of watching them play.

    There's always a risk of prospects not working out when a team trades for them. Billy Smith was thrown into a no win proposition for the Johan trade... TR leaves the team abruptly, and everyone including their grandmothers knew Johan needed to be traded. BUT, sometimes that "Who?" in the trade return becomes Thor for the Mets, or Kluber, or Arrieta. And I trust Falvey and Co. more than Billy Smith.
  21. Vanimal46
    Wouldn't you say most Twins fans are casual fans because they haven't been competitive for a long time?
  22. Vanimal46
    Concur. No one is buying tickets specifically to watch Dozier or any other player. If they did, then Target Field would have been sold out every game last season during Dozier's historic tear at the plate. They buy tickets for winning teams.
  23. Vanimal46
    I like the cat pun Want to join us next week on "Cat Talk" with Dinger and Van?
  24. Vanimal46
    That's a risky proposition to keep Erv... Crossing fingers that he can put together another solid season at 34 years old.
  25. Vanimal46
    Full disclosure, the company I work at has been partners with Koch based companies for several years with their hiring needs. A lot of their initiatives the last 2 years is upgrading their plants with better, more efficient equipment. I've placed several corporate project managers and reliability engineers who's sole jobs are to travel to each plant location on a global basis, identify inefficiencies at each location, and propose projects to cut energy and waste.
