    I think HS is a better "human element" story, as we get to watch the players grow both professionally and as people. If you're into that part of the MLB storyline, it adds great depth.
  2. Shaitan
    That's pretty much Manfred's long-term plan, isn't it?
  3. Shaitan
    I get what you're going for...but those mid '80s clubhouses led by Hrbek/Gaetti weren't exactly clean living either.
  4. Shaitan
    I love looking back at rookie stat lines. In an impatient era, it's easy to imagine the Twins moving on from Dozier at this point.

    Duffey wasn't an effective firefighter in the playoffs. He needs to rebuild my trust.

    I wouldn't put Lohse in the "big trade" category. That was a clubhouse chemistry issue. But I agree with the general statement about big trades often not delivering as advertised.

    Pedro Florimon Adam Everett Mike Lamb

    How did a team with some of those names finish as high as second place. Credit to Gardie and a poor division, I suppose.
  9. Shaitan
    I was so hopeful of a long-term Santana/Liriano/Garza top 3. A few years later, all three were gone or different (post-TJ) pitchers.

    I feel this article is missing a key scene from Naked Gun about spitting.
  11. Shaitan
    But that meltdown in Anaheim. I actually skipped that paragraph here. Still can't read it.
  12. Shaitan
    When did AJ copyright his name?
  13. Shaitan
    Then how will third base coaches relay signals! https://youtu.be/p0UxTe76Vmk

    Queue the "Mauer is fragile" comments...
  15. Shaitan
    Meh. "Star power" is about marketing, not baseball. I'd rather have a team of above-average players working well as a team than a few celebrities hawking Nike products.
  16. Shaitan
    Yet another Manfred move I don't like. No real comment about it during the 2020 situation, but: yuck, not for me.
  17. Shaitan
    Based on last year's rotation and Rocco's general approach to rest, that seems realistic.
  18. Shaitan
    All negotiations start on the fringes. This why actual negotiations don't take place through the press. Both sides have interests. They're going to state them, then work toward the middle. Here's to hoping for a successful resolution.
  19. Shaitan
    To risk opening this rat's nest again: Trevor Bauer. On a purely "because they're rivals" level: Today: Aaron Judge, Aaron Hicks 2000-2010s: Jermaine Dye (similar reason as others naming Konerko) early '90s: Wade Boggs (because Gaetti was my favorite player and he was always second in all-star votes)
  20. Shaitan
    He's also the one player in this lineup who (as of 2019) was still actively playing.
  21. Shaitan
    Atlanta in the Central?
  22. Shaitan
    Lots of great stuff here, including that Radke commercial. Of course, you overlooked the most important contribution from Milton -- the trade that brought Nick Punto to MN.
  23. Shaitan
    What is the record for SB in a season by a player over 40?
  24. Shaitan
    Haha. In truth, it seems more like something TD would be running as we try to fill the void.
  25. Shaitan
    Great stuff, both in the post and comments.
