Thanks. My question didn't add much to the discussion but I was curious to know how that worked.
-
That 2011 draft looks really, really bad. Harrison is still around but the others I've never heard of. Not a good sign since we're 5 years down the road and none of them appear that they'll even sniff a cup of coffee in the majors.
-
Yep. To steal a bit from Dan Cole the Common Man, people will be breaking car windows and setting Twins tickets on the dash because they can't even give away tickets for free.
-
Tangent question: Since the Padres are paying $31 million to the White Sox to take on James Shields, do they pay that to them in a lump sum and it's no longer on their payroll after this season? Do they pay them in $7.75 million increments for the duration of the contract?
-
Correct. I'm willing to bet without looking up the numbers that they saw an increase in season ticket sales as a result from the surprising 2015 campaign. Going into next year is when they'll see a decrease in season ticket renewals and revenues. As we know from past experience, if revenues are down, so will payroll.

And 2015 off Abad: LHB: .277/.315/.545 RHB: .218/.330/.423 Should he be a ROOGY by these stats?

Urgency To Trade Plouffe Growing
Vanimal46 replied to Nick Nelson's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Yeah I'm not going to read into that list just yet. They're only highlighting players from the worst of the worst teams out there. More sellers will come into focus over the next month and a half. -
Agreed. Or, what if Abad becomes the closer until the trade deadline? That way if other teams need a late innings guy he can show that he can do it.
-
I don't really get it either. Abad's not just a LOOGY and has a proven track record of getting both LH and RH hitters out. It's painfully obvious that Jepsen is in over his head as this team's closer/late innings guy. He needs to be a middle reliever coming in the 6-7th inning instead. At this point in the season who cares who the closer is.
-
That's crazy. I would hope there's a plan in place that Rosario will not sniff a recall to the MLB until he reaches double digit walks. Which, at the pace he's going, might take the rest of the year to do so.
-
Very happy that Buxton's found his groove and doing well since the recall. Now I can only hope that Molly's man crush D Santana finds his way to the bench when he returns from the DL.
-
I'm glad to read that LeBlanc got his call-up to Ft. Myers! Next up, hopefully LaMonte Wade gets the call to Florida. I'll certainly be tuning into the recap tomorrow as 2 of my personal favorites Berrios and Jay are on the mound!
-
If there's any team that can eat $35 million and not think twice about it, it's the LA Dodgers. The chance that any team picks him up in waivers has to be 0%. I agree with Mike. Why continue to play a horrible investment if you can replace the player with a $500k option?
-
That very well could be how Plouffe sticks around the majors as he enters his 30's. I wouldn't mind if he was in that role for this team next year. But I assume he's going to want to start some place. It shouldn't be in Minnesota anymore.
-
Yep that was the plan to have a lineup full of HR hitters. I remember articles on this site before the season started proposing the idea if the 2016 Twins could break the franchise record of HRs in a season. Like you I wanted Sano at 3B as well, and wanted Plouffe traded in the off-season. But the lack of a trade market and the team thinking they were much closer to contention than they really are put a damper on that.

Dear Jimbo: But.... I love swinging the bat! It's one of my favorite activities to do! Please advise. Love, Eddie

Don't get me started on apartment building garbage/recycling etiquette... You're right ChiTown, it's not hard at all to rinse out your jars and cans before you recycle them. It takes very little time to break down the box that your 60" flat screen came in. Do people do it? Nope.... Instead the apartment community takes a larger hit because of people throwing away spaghetti sauce cans with sauce still left over on the bottom. The TV boxes sit idle in the chute room for weeks on end. For other people, it's their world and we're just living in it.

Let's say you're at Bluedow's and they have 1 Bavarian Cream and 1 raspberry-jelly filled donut left. Which are you choosing?
-
Hot food debate question: Do you prefer cream-filled or jelly-filled doughnuts?
-
I honestly wouldn't be opposed to that if he becomes the new Nunez. A 1-2 year deal for $5 mill a season sounds reasonable. If he's looking to start then it probably won't work out here.
-
I realize I cut off a majority of your post.. I don't believe a team that trades for either Plouffe or Nunez has to want them beyond this year. Since the Mets keep being brought up, they only need these types of players for this year while Duda and Wright are injured. They could easily non-tender either Plouffe or Nunez next off-season and have no harm done. IMO Plouffe should be non-tendered anyway, since I don't think he'd get a contract over $6-7 million on the open market.

Google Fiber's supposedly being installed in my neighborhood this summer!! Can't wait! They started in downtown Austin and my neighborhood received the 2nd most votes to get it installed.

It sure is National Doughnut Day! I have that weakness as well, and try to avoid it at all costs. Today is also National Chocolate Macaroon Day! So really they just want us to eat sweets all day.... Today is also Repeat Day! A day where you're supposed to repeat a good memory or day you had. Today is also Repeat Day! A day where you're supposed to repeat a good memory or day you had. Today is also Repeat Day! You get the picture....

If Plouffe isn't traded this season I have zero issue with non-tendering him in the off-season. $10+ million is way too steep of a price for him.

Not sure if there's an antenna that acquires signals that far but why not give it a shot? As far as other content - Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Video. Pick your poison. Netflix and Hulu are close to the same price ~$10/month. I'm not sure what Amazon Video costs separately. It's included if you have an Amazon Prime account.
