    Here are Fangraphs' projected FA salaries and the top 50 FA available. They used crowdsourcing along with Dave Cameron's projected figures as well.

    As Tom Kelly would say, "That's why we're paid the big bucks." I don't think anyone is expecting this to be a cake walk. For the love of God, explore every.single.avenue. this off-season to make something happen.

    If there was a stove in our office kitchen, maybe I would go to the effort of making popcorn that way... Unfortunately all we have is a microwave. It was good kettle corn though!

    Even though the Twins are standing pat here, this feels like a very risky proposition. We're assuming here that Ervin stays hot and keeps his value high until July... It could happen! Or he could have a clunker year too and lose that momentum we have right now. Same thing with Dozier, though I don't believe he's as risky as Santana to keep. Don't think there's a right or wrong answer, it just feels like we're taking on more risk doubling down on another very good season from Ervin and Dozier.

    Watching him hit was literally the only reason for people like me to turn on Twins games during the dog days of summer.

    This is somewhat Veteran's Day related, but if you're looking for something to do, I highly recommend going to see Hacksaw Ridge in theaters.... It was one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2-1hz1juBI

    Thank you for your service jimmer, Chief, and everyone else on here that is a veteran!

    SCORCHING hot microwave popcorn take: It's safe to say I've used a microwave for going on 16 years of my life. Probably microwaved over 500 bags of popcorn during those 16 years. NEVER had a perfect bag of popcorn. I'm talking every kernel popped, no kernels burned, a literal perfectly popped bag of popcorn. Thought I nailed it this afternoon in the office kitchen. 2 minutes 26 seconds. Still had a dozen or so kernels unaffected by the microwave. IS there such a thing as a perfect bag of popcorn? Is it more difficult to accomplish that than a perfect game in baseball?

    If we finally see some of the awesome RP prospects that's been touted for years, I'll be a happy guy. I hate being this guy, but I don't think we'll see Gonsalves until September at the earliest, that is if there isn't a regression from last season. Jay I don't anticipate seeing at all. It's more important to build up his work load in the minors this season.

    I use the slow cooker on a weekly basis. It's an easy way to have dinner ready when you get home from work! Also just got a lodge cast iron skillet so I can grill in the house!

    I'm with you that beans belong in chili.... If you ask any Texan, they will battle to the death that beans do not belong in chili.

    Haha just some tostitos chips that were in the pantry!

    Long article about pitching coach Neil Allen on Fangraphs today.

    So it's finally soup season down here in Austin as the temps fall into the low 70s.... I made this chicken tortilla soup recipe in the slow cooker yesterday that turned out to be very good. Any soup recipes that could be made in a slow cooker that you recommend?

    Then all is right with the world again... Saw clips of him eating carrots, broccoli, and other veggies before. It just wasn't the same.

    Happy Thursday! Not sure about you, but I'm feeling better this morning now that the sun is shining for the first time in 6 days... Today is National Vanilla Cupcake Day! I'm a big fan of cupcakes.... cake's little sibling. Though vanilla is a little bland. Chocolate or Red Velvet >>>> Vanilla. The frosting is what makes the cupcake IMO. Cream cheese frosting only please! Today is also National Forget-Me-Not Day! A day to remember the sacrifices returning soldiers have made of mind, body, blood and limb. The Wounded Warriors Foundation is a great cause to get behind for this particular day, or any day of the year. Today is also the birthday for the United States Marine Corps! They turn 241 years old... And they don't look a day over 25! Every Marine I've met is a total badass. Finally, on this day in 1969, "Sesame Street" made its' debut on Public Broadcast Television! Best Sesame Street characters, ranked: - Cookie Monster - the fact that he eats vegetables instead of cookies now is a crime against our childhoods. - Elmo - Though tickle me Elmo toys should be burned... - Oscar the Grouch - reminds me of Twins Daily - Big Bird - first character of Sesame Street. Who doesn't love big fluffy birds? - Count - Very love-able character - Kermit the Frog http://www.watchmyfoodgrow.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/oscar_the_grouch_from_sesame_street.png

    *Takes deep breath* What is this, fresh air? Haven't been able to find this all day... Thank you for sharing!

    A mid-rotation arm... Oh boy!

    Not sure, but those guys work quickly and can put together an episode in less than a day. They're probably working on it as we type.
  20. Vanimal46
    I'd prefer someone who's better defensively than an inflatable tube person out in the OF though...
  21. Vanimal46
    Concur. Well said, Chief. The Democrats cleared a path for Hillary starting back in 2008 with no real back up plan... It's the equivalent of the Twins doing nothing with their bullpen and expecting Burdi, Reed, and the whole batch of awesome RP prospects to come up and succeed.
  22. Vanimal46
    South Park is going to be epic tonight....
  23. Vanimal46
    Feels like we've been waiting 2 years for Plouffe's value to be at a point where it's acceptable to trade him... Frankly I'm tired of waiting for this magical moment to happen.
  24. Vanimal46
    There's a good 3 year window where the Twins can afford a FA premium contract before Sano, Buxton, Kepler, etc. are due to become multi-millionaires. Teams don't transform from 60+ win teams to 90+ win teams overnight. They have to make improvements, get a little better, before jumping back into a sustained contender.
  25. Vanimal46
    Thanks for putting this together Doc. Though we have different ideas on how to handle the overhaul of the pitching staff, I'm on board with getting a new C, SS, and 4th OF. Rajai Davis or Angel Pagan are guys I'd also like to target if Carlos Gomez is indeed looking for multiple years. A slick fielding SS would certainly help as Sano takes his lumps at 3B full-time too.
