    I'm sure there's going to be plenty of teams looking to pick him up on the cheap. I hope the Twins are one of them.

    Maddux was a magician at painting the corners with his pitches. Especially the 2 seamer coming back to the outside corner for right handed hitters. Just nasty.
  3. Vanimal46
    I can't argue with that. Our difference in player examples is just a generational gap. When baseball, and sports in general, was the most important thing in my life, Ken Griffey Jr. was lighting up the league. I'm slightly biased towards Griffey because he's my favorite player of all-time.

    The Nationals need to save up to afford Bryce Harper's upcoming $400 million contract, no? I suspect they're going to let Ramos go.
  5. Vanimal46
    You poor thing. How did you cope knowing that your future Olympic destiny as a soccer player was ruined because of a ball hitting you in the face?

    We know one just from a quick google search. Somebody called Ken Gurnick did not vote for him. His reasoning sounds like a stubborn old man.. "As for those who played during the period of PED use, I won't vote for any of them" http://m.mlb.com/news/article/66341930/how-mlbcom-writers-voted-in-hall-of-fame-balloting/

    That's a shame. He should have been a prime candidate for a September call-up.

    The back issues for May are troubling. I'd really want to know if it's caused from pitching multiple times a week or just a lingering issue no matter how many times he pitches. At this point, I'd say shut down May the rest of the year and let him know early this off-season he's being reconsidered for a spot in the rotation. That way he can get his rest now and get stretched out over the winter.

    Big fan of LaMonte Wade...

    That's a disappointing start to his AA career. Was hoping for more from Jorge than being a pitch-to-contact guy.
  11. Vanimal46
    There may be something about this getting hit in the face thing... Have we forgotten about Henry Rowengartner? Pre catastrophic arm injury in the schoolyard he was a middling OF for a 14 year old town ball team. Post catastrophic arm injury in the schoolyard: 115 IP, 1.65 ERA, 14 K/9. Who's with me on hitting some liners towards Rosario?! Or... you know, you're probably right.
  12. Vanimal46
    So perhaps the answer to our problems is to hit Rosario in the face with another baseball so he can return to the days where he had plate discipline! At least that's what I've learned in the movies....

    Annnd now flashbacks from the high school spring dance are coming back....
  14. Vanimal46
    Fellas, fellas. You're both pretty enough to take to the dance.

    The Swihart decision was more of a desperation move instead of him just not being able to play C, right? I really don't know much about it, but it seems very silly to move a highly ranked young C away from the position. Sucks to hear about Brantley. I enjoyed watching him play, and this is a completely lost season for him. He should be hitting his peak right now at 29 years old.

    It's National S'mores Day! It's been way too long since I've enjoyed an old fashioned s'mores by a campfire... Today is also National Lazy Day! Or for most of us, or am I just talking about myself, today is Wednesday. I knew I should have called in to work today to celebrate this National Holiday! Finally, on this day in 1937, Brock's great grandfather musician George Beauchamp, secured a US patent for the electric guitar! He invented the first electric guitar in 1931, called the Frying Pan.
  17. Vanimal46
    This team is between a rock and a hard place for the C position. Don't want to keep hitching our wagon to Suzuki every year, but there's nothing too intriguing available on the market, and I'm not sold on Murphy or Centeno. That being said, I'd be more intrigued with a Jason Castro or Nick Hundley signing and see who out of Garver/Turner/Centeno/Murphy steps up for the backup spot.

    I've got to imagine this is how Rob Antony is feeling during the August Trade Deadline.... http://www.marydemuth.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/calvinandhobbes.png

    This is my favorite Prince Fielder moment, even if it did happen against our favorite ball club.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lh15tQoXiSg

    Do the Twins bother sending a scout to this tryout? Not all 30 teams are going to spend the time and resources to scout Tebow....
  21. Vanimal46
    Instead of the game, tune into Fox Sports North for a marathon of Kent Hrbek Outdoors! Or some rerun of Texas Hold'Em Poker.
  22. Vanimal46
    Tebow from a distance appears to be a guy who's lost on what to do with his life without being on a field of some type. Good luck to him in this attempt. The odds are not stacked in his favor.
  23. Vanimal46
    Voters make it about themselves when they do not vote for a player, then write a scorching hot take article in their paper expressing why that person was not worthy of their vote. I don't care how many vote the player did or did not get. Mostly the post you responded to was a reply to others saying Ichiro should be a unanimous HOF selection. If Griffey didn't get 100% of the vote, no one will.
  24. Vanimal46
    30+ HR hitters with good plate discipline don't grow on trees. If you think we hold a grudge about David Ortiz, imagine the grudge we'd have if Sano was traded.
  25. Vanimal46
    If Ken Griffey Jr. can't make it into the HOF unanimously, no one will. There's always a jerk who makes it about himself or saving someone on the ballot who doesn't need to be saved.
