    I see Vargas as AAA depth. There's a chance he could beat out Park in spring training, and if so, he'll be a platoon bench bat. Either way I don't think he's a player that you plan on giving 400+ at-bats to.

    Twins fans could go back and forth about who to trade and what to target in the past, but know nothing really was going to happen. This year with the new regime is a different feeling. I do think Falvey and Co. could trade Dozier in the next couple of days, and maybe make another splash at these meetings.

    I'm crossing fingers D Santana is on the winter 40 man clean up list. Him or Grossman (maybe both) O'Rourke or Boshers (maybe both) Randy Rosario Still plenty of fringe players left to clean up the roster.
  4. Vanimal46
    Good luck to him. He was a questionable 40 man add last year. Not surprised that Falvey and Co. cleaned up that questionable call.

    Since we were bashing Simmons before, it's only fair to point out something good too. And his recent article on The Ringer, "Simmons vs. Gladwell: The Future of Football" is one of the best articles I've read from him in a long time.

    We should start a podcast about this. "Cat Talk" with Dinger and Van. Special appearances by ChiTown, Craig, and Ash

    No love for Toygers? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ByJHRt-RgQ

    Also, don't forget inexplicably starting Logan Schafer for 19 (!!) games during the month of September. It was a very clear message of why bother from August until the end of the season.... They were done trying to work in any young position players

    It's also the most overblown thing about baseball when prospects are left unprotected.... Example A: Zack Jones last season.

    Great point! Just need to find a cat that likes to snuggle and I'm golden.
  11. Vanimal46
    Your cat is adorable. And they are certainly easier to take care of. I still like being able to take a dog out to the park to play and cruise around the neighborhood for single ladies
  12. Vanimal46
    Like I said, it clearly wasn't memorable
  13. Vanimal46
    The timing is close on getting a dog. I've been delaying it lately by volunteering and getting the dog fix. It's not the same as having an excited dog running to the door when you get home from work... After my extended vacation over Xmas I'll be looking into getting one!
  14. Vanimal46
    Happy Friday! Today is National Fritters Day! Can't say I've had fritters.... Or if I have, clearly it wasn't memorable. Today is also National Mutt Day! A day to celebrate the mixed breed pups in your life. There are several mutts at Austin Pets Alive! and the Humane Society that are adorable... Maybe 2017 is the year I get a pup of my own Finally, on this day in 2001, Enron files for chapter 11 bankruptcy. That resulted in the largest corporate fraud scandal in history... I'm sure some of those executives who misled investors on their profits are still in prison today. Hopefully you were not one of the investors in Enron back in the day!

    The whole rule to make the ASG winner have home field advantage was silly from the get go. A cheesy marketing ploy "This time it counts!" that lasted far too long. Cleveland was able to get home field advantage because Johnny Cueto was hit around by the Royals' Eric Hosmer and Salvador Perez.... Let that sink in for a second. Players that had minimal impact, or zero impact on a playoff team playing a significant factor on who gets home field advantage for the World Series.
  16. Vanimal46
    Well, if this guy made Gary Sanchez into a hitting machine, welcome aboard!
  17. Vanimal46
    Could they have Chris Davis be grandfathered into the no chew tobacco rule? Every time he comes to the plate it's distracting.... Like he put the whole can in his mouth prior to getting out of the dugout. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bWRSDDpJ3Gk/VBOoEyVLiwI/AAAAAAAAAW4/6eFNZsQlioY/s1600/Chris%2BDavis.png

    So an interesting article on Deadspin today... The MLB will no longer allow the A's to be classified as a small market team. Meaning they will no longer receive revenue sharing checks from other teams in the league.
  19. Vanimal46
    The top 1..... Zack Jones thread last off-season.

    As the lawyer awoke from surgery, he asked, "Why are all the blinds drawn?" The nurse answered, "There's a fire across the street, and we didn't want you to think you had died."

    Pablo would mash XBH's all day long... Along with tape measure HR's into the street. Ah, nostalgic childhood memories with this game.
  23. Vanimal46
    I like this new rule a lot... May I also offer that whoever wins in a battle of Backyard Baseball also gets home field advantage? The players can not choose the secret weapon, Pablo Sanchez, to be on their team. http://i.imgur.com/I6LUh.png

    I'm having flashbacks of the same arguments we were making last year.... That being Fien is cheap and pitched well last year (last year being 2015), let's roll the dice again! Don't know this as fact, but I would assume that Kintzler was floated around as trade bait and no one was hooked. Though it's possible they didn't float him at all and wanted him on the team all season.

    A couple of former Twins sign minor league deals today... Logan Schafer signed with the Orioles, and Chris Parmelee signed with the A's.
