    Yeah the good thing about baseball ASG is the fundamentals are still evident. People still have to pitch, hit, and field like they normally do. Unlike basketball ASG where it's just a slam dunk competition, hockey being a breakaway competition, and football playing by flag football rules.

    Mike and his son will bake you a get well soon pie!

    Counterpoint: The thread topic today is making me think of this song.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tr-BYVeCv6U Mmm... Pie.

    I'm with you on this. The games do nothing for me, but I can see the other side where some may think it's a cool moment to watch all of their favorite sports stars in one venue.

    Is it a hard cap on international spending? Or is it like before where the Dodgers, Yankees, and Red Sox could spend way above the cap and just pay a fine for doing so?
  6. Vanimal46
    In other words, it's going to be exactly like the football, basketball, and hockey all-star games now. How are we going to survive?!
  7. Vanimal46
    Very happy they got rid of that rule. Making an All Star game in any league mean something more than just an exhibition game is silly.

    It's a chilly day in Austin..... You know what will help turn things around? PIE! Because it's National Pie Day! Pies are delicious, except for the thick outside crust once the filling is gone. Sometimes it's too much crust, you know? Pies with graham cracker crusts are the best. Today is also National Rosa Parks Day! On this day in 1955, Rosa Parks refuses to give up her seat on the bus when the bus started filling up with more people. She was arrested, and resulted in a civil rights movement. Today is also National Eat a Red Apple Day! Preferably Honeycrisp apples, please!

    I'd tender everyone except Kintzler. He did well last year, but I'm having flashbacks of Casey Fien thinking about him. I'd rather give the spot to one of the awesome RP prospects we've been waiting for the last 2 years.

    Napoli will continue to make the rounds until December 2017 if he thinks he can get a 3 year contract. That is insanity.
  11. Vanimal46
    Yeah and why not? He clearly enjoys the sport. If people want to continue paying him for his services, keep cashing those checks!

    Too late, CraigArkoSpace#1

    Hahaha now that's a good idea! First password idea: NorthPoutine1

    Does WAR really matter all that much for a DH? I mean it's always going to be skewed lower because defense doesn't play a role in their calculations.... David Ortiz led all qualified DHs with 4.4 WAR and was an MVP candidate.
  15. Vanimal46
    Unfortunately with this Bullhorn system it won't allow you to use any variation of your former password. So if I did change it to Password2, it'll pop up saying it's too close to a former password you used.
  16. Vanimal46
    He needed a fresh start somewhere outside of Twins Territory. Good luck to him.
  17. Vanimal46
    I'm not sure it would signal win now.... It signals more to me that they don't have any faith in Park and/or Vargas. We've been preaching that Sano should get all of 2017 to sink or swim at 3B... Can't imagine Napoli would sign a multi-year contract.
  18. Vanimal46
    If he didn't cost a draft pick I'd be interested. More bat flips in Target Field please! http://antennamag.com/files/2016/03/Jose-Bautista-bat-flip.gif
  19. Vanimal46
    You got it! TR found his target and made the deal in mid-November. Followed up by Park signing in early December. After that, 2-3 minor league signings the rest of the way.
  20. Vanimal46
    Let's hope they continue this "strong start" throughout the off-season. TR was working pretty quickly himself the last couple of off-seasons then went radio silent from December through March. Let's try to get some trades done, then everyone will jump on the love train patting these guys on the back.
  21. Vanimal46
    Napoli isn't a bad option. If he is indeed brought on board, in no way could Napoli/Vargas/Park/Sano work on an MLB roster together. They would have to trade one of Vargas or Park. Or both.
  22. Vanimal46
    Pet peeve relating to passwords..... Our company uses Bullhorn as our sales/recruiting database. This system prompts you to change your password every 6 weeks... It also remembers all of the previous passwords, and you're not allowed to use any variation of an old password. I'm certainly not that creative to come up and remember a new password every 6 weeks.
  23. Vanimal46
    UGH.... you had to announce to the world what my Twins Daily password is. *Furiously starts changing every password*
  24. Vanimal46
    Not to turn this into a Bill Simmons bashing thread, but I couldn't agree more with you. He looked mostly uncomfortable on TV and lacked any sort of charm... And he's too far gone from his writing days. Loved his columns back when he was on Page 2 of ESPN.com, now he writes a mailed in column once every 6 months.
  25. Vanimal46
    Your last paragraph hits the nail on the head. The time will never be better to move Santana. I enjoyed watching him pitch last year, since he was really the only SP who was consistent. Still, get out of the contract now while he has good trade value.
