2016 Offseason HOTSTOVE update: Does Chief need a new writer? We've all come to expect and cherish HOF level jokes from Chief. Coming into the 2016 season, the sky was the limit for the 4 time MVP! Instead, we see a regression.... Not by much! But enough to warrant a snub on the August 31st game thread. Will he return to MVP form?? Or will others battle their tail off to become the new "Chief of the Joke"?
I don't care how this game goes. Today was a good day. New pizza place opened up down the street from my apartment. Screwed up the order. Free beer and pizza! The best kind of pizza is FREE pizza!
Snepp, let me introduce myself. I'm Vanimal. Little did you know you were working under cover last year to uncover Moderator Gate 2015. How does it feel to be back in civilian life?
So you think I'm a veterinarian assistant?? On days when my day time job sucks, I wish I would have went to culinary school and be a chef! Hence why the Food and Other Such Holidays thread is near and dear to my heart.
No doubt. Erv's had his share of clunker 5+ ERA seasons too. All it takes is replacement level production the first 3 months in 2017 from being stuck with him for his age 35 season. We got 18 months of good Ervin. I'm not sold we're going to witness another 2 good years from him.
I'm on board with trading both Dozier and Santana this off-season. There's not much of a difference from my point of view having 1 solid pitcher and 4 question marks and 5 question marks. All of those question marks are more than likely going to keep the team from competing in the near future anyway. I'd much rather get out from the last 2 years on Erv's contract and try this rebuild/non-rebuild again.
At what point are players not allowed to attend the Arizona Fall League? Clearly once they make it to the majors.... But is there an age or years of minor league experience limit that disqualifies other people?
Perhaps the real reasons why Tebow is trying out for baseball are coming to fruition. Tebow signs a new apparel deal with Adidas prior to the workout. Would it surprise anyone at this point if this was just a money grab to stay relevant in the news and earn some cash with a new line of athletic clothing?
Exactly. The Vikings at least have had entertaining players to watch in recent years. Meanwhile, let's talk about the Twins starting rotation the last 4 years! Yohan Pino, Mike Pelfrey, Correia, Sam Deduno, Pedro freaking Hernandez.
Over the last 6 years.... Twins no question. Teams in the NFL can turn things around in a hurry. The rebuild/non-rebuild process has been excruciating to watch for our Twins.
