    Very hesitant about giving Santiago $10 million. With that kind of money, he'll be in the rotation all season long, no matter the results.
  2. Vanimal46
    Sounds like Kenta Maeda, Hyun-Jin Ryu, or Scott Kazmir would be what you'd look for in a potential trade with the Dodgers.

    The Cubs will start resting more and more players, if they haven't done so already. They'll still win their fair share of games. The Twins may not win a game the rest of the year... I'm going Twins losses.
  4. Vanimal46
    I would shoot for the moon and see if there's any way to acquire Urias or Maeda from the Dodgers. If not, this is a nice consolation prize.

    We'll never know which teams feel that Dozier is an upgrade to their current situation, but IMO.... The Dodgers for reasons you stated. Utley is at the end of the road, and Kendrick is a guy. The Mets have Neil Walker coming off a career year and about to be a FA. Do they let him walk like they did with Murphy? They're also the most pitching rich team in the MLB.... Their #7 is equivalent to the Twins' #2. The Giants have the 3rd fewest HRs in the MLB. Joe Panik's done alright, but perhaps they're looking for some pop in their lineup. The Yankees may look to reload now that Texiera and A Rod's contracts are off the books. Starlin Castro is nothing special. And recently reloaded their farm system. Who knows if they're going to rebuild from within or try to buy their way back into contention. A total wildcard who's just looking to get back to relevancy like the Phillies?

    Welcome to Twins Daily! I wouldn't blame you, or any other season ticket holder for cancelling your plan. They're going to need to be more creative than what they're doing to retain people's business. I thought I saw during the game last Sunday that people who renew also get access to a Rewards' program or something? Doesn't sound like much to prompt any impulse purchases.

    Just doing my job! Craig is going to be excited tonight... Agents of SHIELD Season 4 premieres at 9:00 PM CT. Something called "This is Us" debuts on NBC.

    RB's birthday is so special that the morning news team went to interview him this morning! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAUn3A4QtaI

    Watched the pilot of "The Good Place" last night. It's actually good so far! I may be biased because I'm a fan of Bell and Danson... But I have hopes that this show can last. The creator of this show also worked on "The Office" and "Parks and Recreation", 2 of my favorite comedies on TV.

    Your most memorable birthday stories, Go!

    I would be perfectly fine with this solution as well. Signing Park in the first place put us in this downward spiral of too many 1B/DH in the kitchen.
  12. Vanimal46
    If you believe what Ruesse says, he wrote a hot take article the other day that this will be Mauer's last season...
  13. Vanimal46
    When Park is thrown in the equation, that's where the picture gets fuzzy. Are we casting out Park after 1 season?
  14. Vanimal46
    Most of us predicted correctly that the Mauer situation was going to get ugly towards the end of his contract. It's too bad that his body is physically breaking down on him. As far as Vargas, I'm not a believer that he has much of any value in a trade. I also do not want him in the field for any stretch of time. He's a spot starter at best out there. I just don't see where he fits in the picture.
  15. Vanimal46
    Ahh, okay that makes sense. They wanted him to back up the trash talk. At least King made him look silly on national TV!
  16. Vanimal46
    You'll have to read it on your phone or at home later. It will make sense.

    As someone who was not alive in this time, I'm wondering why they chose a 55 year old man Bobby Riggs to face Billy Jean King? Isn't that the equivalent of Jon McEnroe playing against Serena Williams today?
  18. Vanimal46
    Sounds like you're pulling a Wally from Dilbert, Mike...
  19. Vanimal46
    Promotion?
  20. Vanimal46
    We've made it this far... Let's see 103! Let's see 103!
  21. Vanimal46
    Happy birthday RB!

    Mike, Craig, Brock... This day is for you. Because it's National IT Professionals Day! I believe you are able to celebrate by not doing a single thing for your customers. Or giving the standard, "Unplug it, and plug it back in" line. Today is also National Punch Day! The word "punch" is a loanword from Hindi panch (meaning five). The drink was originally made with five ingredients: alcohol, sugar, lemon, water and tea or spices. You could celebrate this day by making punch, and crowd around the bowl of punch just like we all did at middle school dances. Finally, on this day in 1973, Bobby Riggs faces off against Billie Jean King in what is known as the "Battle of the Sexes" on the tennis court! Billie Jean King handily wins against Riggs while millions of people watched on TV.
  23. Vanimal46
    Yeah, one or more of these shows won't last 6 episodes. As much as I like Danson and Bell, that show doesn't look great. Hope to be wrong on that. My front-runner for pulling the plug early is Kevin Can Wait.... I don't believe we are clamoring for another King of Queens type sitcom.
  24. Vanimal46
    Tonight: "Gotham" season 3 premiere on Fox. "The Good Place" starring Kristen Bell and Ted Danson - Pilot airs on NBC. "Kevin Can Wait" starring Kevin James - pilot airs on CBS. The commercials look pretty bad. "The Big Bang Theory" - much like "Everybody Loves Raymond" I can't believe this show is still on, and supposedly successful.
  25. Vanimal46
    Last year for some reason was the year of OJ... I remember ESPN made a documentary or even a series about it. Then FX jumped on the bandwagon and made this show.
