  1. I've been saying this for awhile.
  2. STRETCH...STRETCH!!!! YOU CAN PUT IT ON THE BOARD!!!! YEESSSS!!!
  3. On another note, Howard has only one guaranteed year left on his contract, so it might not be the worst move, but my guess is that he would end up being a Morales with more power. The Twins also have had scouts at two of Cole Hamels starts this year.
  4. Vargas would be too much, my proposal is that we take on 10 mil and send Danny Ortiz to the Phillies, but I have been in favor of trading for Ryan Braun for awhile.
  5. I don't know if that story was ish or ick, but I do know that it was gross. I guess I'm going to provide a commentary on her autobiography, and here we go. In the fall of 2012, which was election time, she had a sign in her front yard that said "1 girl, and 25 ball players," and she thinks that fits the definition of marriage, but it certainly doesn't, but if it does her spouse is an absolute loser, and years from now when the debate about polygamous marriage is going on, and I am running for office and opposing it, but if I am asked if I have ever attended one, I will be able to say, "Yes, but I did not bring a gift," and then people who are for it will think that I was a jerk. And on another note, this game thread has been TOO long. P.S. The honeymoon ended on August 31st, 2013.
  6. Apparently one of the players said they need "A big bopper," and now MLBTR is speculating that they could be in on Ryan Howard.
  7. Cameron is probably top two athletic, but he wants about 90% of the bonus pool, and that will probably turn the Twins away.
  8. Stewart is showing that he can become what I have thought he would be. Also, nice to see Buxton continuing with the show, as well as Sano.
  9. Speaking of Europe, that is where they might spend big this class, that and Australia and Taiwan. Some people say that we have a deal in place with Simon Muzziotti, who is real good, and has been compared to Jacoby Ellsbury.
  10. I can see Sano and Walker keeping up their power numbers, Buxton will probably keep on hitting triples, and all the stolen base leaders should keep it up, the average numbers will all likely change significantly, but I can see Kepler continuing to hit, plus I think that Gonsalves and Berrios could keep up their numbers, and Cameron Booser should also keep up his great numbers.
  11. Speaking of bullpens, now that Cederoth has been moved to the bullpen, it looks like we could have a really good one next year.
  12. WE WHUPPED THEM!!! WE WHUPPED THEM ALL!!!! YOU'LL THINK TWICE BEFORE MESSING WITH PAUL L. MOLITOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  13. Perkins should start looking behind him to see if Burdi is getting any closer, it might motivate him.
  14. I think it is because her conversations are on public record, and she is worried that her future boss will fire her for it.
  15. AARON, AARON!!! HE DOES IT AGAIN! YOU HAVE GOT TO BE BLEEPPIING ME!!!!!!
  16. I'm ready to flip. He is becoming a glorified long reliever.
  17. Plouffe? He is batting right now.
  18. STRETCH, STRETCH... YOU CAN PUT IT ON THE BOAAAAARRRDDD!!!!!!!! YEESSSSS!!!!!!!!!!

  20. http://provationsgroup.org/ftpfiles/louisville/Baseball/2015%20Louisville%20Baseball%20Media%20Guide%20Final%20Files/Header%20Photos/Funkhouser-3.jpeg Kyle Funkhouser is a 6'2", 218 pound right handed pitcher for University of Louisville who was undrafted out of high school. Funkhouser usually throws three pitches, a fastball, slider, and changeup, but has thrown a curveball at times. The biggest worries about Funkhouser are his inability to command his pitches, and not having a great secondary offering. Funkhouser got off to a hot start at the start of the season, hitting 98 mph and his slider looking above average, but now he is struggling to get his fastball into the low nineties, and his slider is not looking better then average, so his stock has taken a hit. His fastball is usually 92-95, and his slider and changeup are usually around 83 mph, and when he uses his curve it is around 79-80 mph, but his fastball is his only an above average pitch, making him fall on draft boards. If Funkhouser is going to start in the big leagues he will need to lower his walk rate, which some scouts think he could improve by adding a better follow-through in his delivery, and Funkhouser could end up in the bullpen if he can't control his pitches, but I think that the team that drafts him should give him an extended look in the rotation. The Twins were linked to Funkhouser earlier in the year, but it now sounds like they will likely pass on him, due to his velocity drop, and control issue; another thing to keep in mind is that he is represented by Scott Boras, who would likely not take an underslot deal, and Funkhouser has not performed good enough for them to give him a deal that is above, or at the bonus slot.
