    It's worked in the swingin' past....

    Golly, you think we could get Margot back from the Brewers? 🤔 Geez Louise, the guy has access to umpteen physios on staff, and makes untold millions per year. Between all of 'em, they can't get a freakin' yoga instructor to get himself flexible enough to play baseball? If you've had soft-tissue issues Every. Single. Year, maybe take some kind of proactive attitude towards it? Come on, man!

    He's the first guy I thought of. McCusker's got that Richie Sexon prototype size, too. Or maybe Eeles..... 😅

    The Myth of Topa will go down in the canon along with the Ghost of Mahle and the Fable of DiSclafani...

    What a great story! Is there anything more magical than being a kid with those giant-sized heroes right before your eyes? Omg, you were AT that game! As a son of ND dirt-farmers, I could only imagine from what I heard on the radio- These days, heck, I don't remember what I had for lunch yesterday, but I still remember that warm summer day on the plains, and Herb Carneal's call, Reese pinch-hitting for Kaat. (Lefty-lefty matchup, yo!) "It's hit high in the air toward DEEP center field (me thinking it was gonna be a loud out). Buford going back....... Grand slam for Reese!" And just like that, the hated Orioles were vanquished, and McNally's streak was over. We'd re-enact that scene over and over out there in the yard, echoing that call each time. Thanks, Al, for posting this, and allowing a sweet recollection over the miles and years. ⚾

    My man DaShawn gets outta the gate as the early leader for the Sire title. It's just criminal how this org. has treated some of the younger talent like him. And now, he's not so young anymore. He looks all the world like a real ballplayer. Eeles, too- only seen glimpses of him here and there, but he also looks like a gamer. But hey, let's just sign some MLB re-treads, and just hand them Margot-level at bats.

    "... the shabby?!?" That's me all over! Plus, I've never hunted my fellow man for sport! I volunteer! 👋

    I'm hoping to be surprised. Seems like we can say that about a whole bunch of Twinkie hopefuls. *cough* Ty France *cough* Bader *cough* etc....

    ---Whomever the Sire winds up to be, the best news of the year was posted at the bottom of a Strib article: "• Twins owner Joe Pohlad arrived at camp Saturday and observed the team’s workout. It’s likely Pohlad’s final spring in charge of the Twins, as his family explores selling the franchise." Huzzah!

    I'm gonna go with DaShawn slightly over Mr. Eeles. And I'll wager 1,000! (Thai Baht left over from the last trip to Chiang Mai).
  11. David HK
    And my boy Eeles! Doesn't get a lot of mention, but don't anybody sleep on this guy!
  12. David HK
    Yes.

    I played short and second in the salad days of the Mesozoic era. Later on, moving to LA and playing over-40 ball along with some ex-major leaguers, played a lot of 3rd. All I cared about was having a big target who could catch the damn ball. Why is that so hard at the MLB level? Royce would be a good option, especially since his throwing appears to be an Achilles heel.
  14. David HK
    Make that four! I went in with shortness of breath, hopeless optimism, and persistent, underlying sadness, but didn't know what it was! 😂
  15. David HK
    Oh, my, sentenced to the White Sox. That's like doing time in stir.... 😅
  16. David HK
    Not only good contact with speed, but he and his family had some major dance hits back in the 80s- "Rhythm of the Night" still gets my toes tapping.
  17. David HK
    This echoes my own sinking feeling, like a Margot 2.0 situation. And when Keirsey starts lighting up AAA? What then? A young fast, true CF whose only crime is being a LH hitter? Still plays, methinks.
  18. David HK
    Looks like we got the right guy. For more $ than the other two.
  19. David HK
    😂 "Congratulations to this year's winner of the Byron Buxton's Injury History MLB Outfielder Fellowship." Downright Lardner-esque! 🤣
  20. David HK
    Pennant. 👍 Thanks, Jim P!
  21. David HK
    Looks like Thielbar 2.0
  22. David HK
    Welp, that moves the needle.

    I'm addicted to podcasts. One of my current faves is "Owned," by former NBA-er Rex Chapman, wherein he tells stories of those very billionaires who own various sports teams, for better or worse. He did one on Matt Ishbia, which was downright inspiring. If you want to know more about his backstory, from a MSU basketball walk-on under Tom Izzo, to owning the Suns and beyond, give a listen. If nothing else, it's highly entertaining, and you can hear from the man himself. Sorry about the long URL- but if you're a podcast listener, it's easy to look up "Owned." https://chrt.fm/track/288D49/stitcher.simplecastaudio.com/c3239830-c047-4fe7-9672-a3d0d5d083c8/episodes/c809b49a-7f68-4cd8-bbe1-b6643a9d2ba6/audio/128/default.mp3?aid=rss_feed&awCollectionId=c3239830-c047-4fe7-9672-a3d0d5d083c8&awEpisodeId=c809b49a-7f68-4cd8-bbe1-b6643a9d2ba6&feed=iXhf4wYJ

    It doesn't matter what his history or stats are. The most important ingredient to the Twins' front office are the words "non-tendered." AKA- "cheap."
  25. David HK
    He was one of my fave Twins as a little guy. I liked him because he had red hair and looked like my Uncle Red. Plus, he played for the Pilots! How cool is that?
