    Sano and Berrios are the top priorities for bounce back seasons since they're integral players for the future. The Twins need any and all pitchers to do well, so let's go Gibson! Plouffe's gotta go.

    A Wisconsin judge orders that they release Brendan Dassey from prison. He should be out by Thanksgiving.
  3. Vanimal46
    Agreed. Don't think we'll be waiting long until Centeno's DFA'd.

    That's kind of how I felt voting for Hillary in Texas.... And there's plenty of examples out there of people in other states feeling like me that day.... Like our vote did not matter. Perhaps if something were done to improve the system, there would be a higher turnout to vote.

    The quotes from Falvey are telling on what the philosophy will be at C... Defense first. If they're also good at batting, great! But defense is the top priority. After watching Suzuki and Centeno behind the plate, I agree 100%.

    Fried pickles.... mmmm. One of the go-to's for bar food IMO. That and chips with queso or guac!
  7. Vanimal46
    Lots of players have declined the QO so far: Cespedes, Desmond, Encarnacion, Joey Bats, Trumbo, Jansen, Justin Turner, and Dexter Fowler.
  8. Vanimal46
    I know the NFL is experiencing a lack of good QBs in the league.... But if Leidner is in a QB competition 5 years down the road, shut down the NFL.

    Not that Spotrac is right all the time, but they say 3 years at a very reasonable rate.
  10. Vanimal46
    Yes and yes. Also, fried egg on a burger is TERRIFIC* *Trump lingo
  11. Vanimal46
    If you have not tried this, put guacamole on a hamburger one time.... You will not regret it.
  12. Vanimal46
    Only at Chipotle... Which their guac isn't that great BTW.
  13. Vanimal46
    Happy Monday! Today is National Guacamole Day! Specifically, National Spicy Guacamole Day! I celebrated this holiday 1 day too early by making fresh guac yesterday... Avocados are delicious, and they were on sale at the grocery store. Today is also National Pickle Day! Pick your poison today.... Pickle chips, baby dill pickles, whole pickles... The world is your oyster! Also, on this day in 1969, Apollo 12 blasts off to explore the moon once again. Charles Conrad, Jr.; Richard Gordon, Jr.; and Alan Bean were the astronauts on this flight.

    Sorry, I don't believe for a second that the Twins would cut an $8+ MM player if he wasn't performing. Please, just let him go.
  15. Vanimal46
    I agree with the bold players you want to release. Out of the 9 you want to protect, I don't think Wheeler, Baxendale, Jones, or Vielma needs to be protected. All of those guys are the fringiest (is that a word) of fringe players to make a 40 man roster. If some other team wants to draft them and store them on a 25 man roster, they can go right ahead.

    The year of musicians continues... Leon Russell passes away at 74 years old. I'll need to look into what kind of music he wrote and played.

    MLB Trade Rumors just posted their Off-season Outlook for the Twins.

    For all of the Jason Castro fans, per Mike Berardino on Twitter: #MNTwins and Jason Castro's rep had "agreed to reconvene" next week, I'm told. Target Field meetings w/senior scouts should start Mon/Tue. And per MLB Trade Rumors: The Twins did meet with Castro’s representation during the GM Meetings this week, tweets Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press (via Twitter), though the two sides only discussed “general needs and wants” at the time. Sounds like they had a good first date. Will Falvey wait three days to call Castro and ask him out again?

    Cuban IF prospect Lourdes Gurriel signs with the Toronto Blue Jays for 7/$22 MM http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2016/11/blue-jays-sign-lourdes-gurriel-cuba.html EDIT: The Blue Jays also signed DH Kendrys Morales to a 3/$33 MM contact as well. Looks like Edwin Encarnacion or Joey Bats, maybe both, are out the door.

    Very simplistic approach to this election as told by Mike Rowe. Some highlights: "Last week, three old friends – people I’ve known for years - each requested to be “unfriended” by anyone who planned on voting for Trump. Honestly, that was disheartening. Who tosses away a friendship over an election? Are my friends turning into those mind-numbingly arrogant celebrities who threaten to move to another country if their candidate doesn’t win? Are my friends now convinced that people they’ve known for years who happen to disagree with them politically are not merely mistaken – but evil, and no longer worthy of their friendship?" I've seen this, and I'm sure you have too. That's a very sad thing - someone who's so heated and distraught that they're willing to block out people they've known for years out of their lives. Because of what? A stupid election race?

    It used to be more relaxed where I work, but someone who doesn't work here anymore ruined it for all. Guy got too drunk when the company went out to watch the World Cup game, and fell asleep under his desk. Needless to say he was fired that afternoon.
  22. Vanimal46
    Yep. I tell "rival executives" in my fantasy football league that their players are worth half of mine all the time.... Doesn't mean I believe it, or that the rival executive believes Santana's only worth $8-10 million.

    Sent a more detailed PM to Chi about this, but the quick synopsis without spoilers.... Very well done movie. Andrew Garfield was brilliant acting as Desmond Doss and made the story and his beliefs real. Well done battlefield scenes, and throughout the movie brought on romance, comedy, and drama. I was engaged throughout the entire film. Can't remember the last time I was inspired to see a movie in a theater... Or the last time a movie kept me thinking about it after leaving the theater. This is one of those movies.

    I understand that's what Falvey's focus is on, the long-term outlook of the organization and building the organizational departments. Isn't Levine supposed to be the one focused on the roster along with wheeling and dealing?
  25. Vanimal46
    The Atlanta Braves are swinging for the fences already this off-season. First, by signing 42 year old R.A. Dickey. Now they've signed 43 year old Bartolo Colon. Though I'm happy Colon stayed in the National League so we can still witness him batting. He's a national treasure. Ben, your thoughts?
