    You're probably right that they'll give him a QO. And if I were Hellickson, I'd accept the QO without question. No one else is going to come close to offering $16-17 million, whatever the value the QO is this season.

    Holland is a buy low pitcher I'd certainly be interested in acquiring. Toss them a prospect or 2 and see if he can bounce back.
  3. Vanimal46
    Hmm, initially I was on board with giving Hellickson a chance. If a 2nd round pick is involved, now I'm leaning towards passing on him.
  4. Vanimal46
    Kluber vs Hendricks? Plus I've got to imagine we'll see a dose of Lester, Chapman, Miller, and Allen. Sign me up!

    And we'll see you tomorrow night for game 7. This one is over.

    Almost another blunder in the OF for Cleveland. Do we have to remind them of the little league rule of calling out "I got it"?
  7. Vanimal46
    Arrieta's beard game is STRONG tonight.
  8. Vanimal46
    You can't have communication issues in the OF Cleveland... Yuuuge mistake there.
  9. Vanimal46
    Is it me? Or are there more fans cheering for the Cubs than Cleveland in the crowd tonight?
  10. Vanimal46
    Season 5, man.... Season 5 went completely off the rails into utter non-sense.
  11. Vanimal46
    Fangraphs appears to be a nice launch pad to a FO gig. I thought the narrative was only Ivy league bros get those jobs?

    Bring back the Cleveland Spiders! This could be the furry, fun loving mascot that kids would love to take a picture with... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v227/BostonFaninMichigan/clevelandspider.jpg

    This fall has been insane from a weather perspective. It's still 90 degrees consistently down here in Austin. My brother still living in Minneapolis has sent pictures of him golfing in late October. Yet they say down here it's going to be a colder winter than normal. I'll believe it when I see it.

    It's going to be 70 degrees tonight in Cleveland. It's November 1st. The average high temperature is supposed to be 49 degrees. What is wrong with this world?
  15. Vanimal46
    Well the assumption is that anyone can play 1B, so that's where it's coming from I think. Just another angle to come up with other teams that could fit Dozier into their lineup.
  16. Vanimal46
    Why waste high quality material at the beginning of the off-season? It's best to save those gems during January when literally nothing else is going on... That'll kill a couple of weeks while we wait for real baseball to start again!
  17. Vanimal46
    Me too. It's going to be a loooong off-season. Might as well grab a blanket, build a fire, and stay cozy in the Sports Bar until April!
  18. Vanimal46
    Any books on your radar to read during the off-season? On my list is Bryan Cranston's new biography "A Life In Parts" and "A Life Well Played" Arnold Palmer's biography.
  19. Vanimal46
    Concur. If it also takes additional resources from the Twins such as 1 of Stewart, Romero, Jay, etc. I'm on board with that too in order to acquire a top flight starter.

    I'm with you, Mike. Usually give up on the dough halfway through, and focus on the filling after that. Today is also National Deep Fried Clams Day! That and calamari are right up there as my favorite appetizers to get at restaurants. Especially with a little remoulade sauce... On this day in 1952, the US detonates the first full-scale thermonuclear weapon on the island of Elugelab in Enewetak Atoll, in the Pacific Ocean. This was the start of the Cold War arms race between the US and USSR. Also, on this day in 1512, Michelangelo's masterpiece is officially open for the public to view in the Sistine Chapel! It took him 4 years to complete the paintings... And fun fact: Michelangelo was a sculptor who did not enjoy painting. In fact, he wrote a poem during the process about the torture he was feeling by painting this design. Any of you had the pleasure of seeing this in person? http://www.italianrenaissance.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Michelangelo-Sistine-Chapel-Ceiling-590x394.jpg

    Curious who you think of when you say players are routinely traded away who they don't believe will live up to their potential. Prospects? Sure, I can agree with that. People already in the MLB? All I can think of is Will Myers who was never touted as a 40 HR hitter, and Miggy Cabrera back in the day because it was the annual Marlins fire sale.
  22. Vanimal46
    Melotakis should start in AAA and play things by ear on when he gets the call up. Brandon Warne in his 40 man report card thread mentioned the concern about Melotakis' splits vs. RH and LH hitters. This year RH hitters had an .850 OPS. and .587 OPS to LH.. Pre-surgery, it was .790 to RH and .622 to LH. We're all hoping for the best, but there's a real chance that we're clamoring for just a LOOGY....

    iPhone is certainly on my radar too.. The biggest issues with Samsung is their battery life and overheating issues... I constantly close running apps in the background, and limit to 4-5 apps installed. Still doesn't matter. The battery is nearly drained by the end of the work day with average use (internet and phone calls mostly), and constantly overheats in my pocket. It really shouldn't be that hard to build a phone that can last a full day without charging it.... Ugh.
  24. Vanimal46
    It appears it's $300 with a new 2 year contract.... Still $799 retail price. I'm going to be on the market for a new cell phone after the holidays, and the Google Pixel is on the radar. I know for damn sure I'm done with Samsung. 2nd time getting a Galaxy iteration, and both models have started to fail 1.5 years after purchasing the phone.
  25. Vanimal46
    Out of the names they brought up, I'd put Taillon as the top target to trade for. I know others on the board are fascinated with Glasnow too. After the failed attempt to develop Alex Meyer, I'm not sure I want to dive back into the extremely tall pitcher pool.
