  3. James
    Thank you and goodnight.

    I need to start phrasing my jokes more carefully. You seem to get a free joke from me after every post. Well done sir.

    Puke in your sleep. Just make sure you sleep on your side and not on your back. That's how Hendrix died.
  6. James
    Sometimes you just have to do things yourself. Rosters shmosters.

    Gardy is going for a two inning save? Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!?!?!
  8. James
    Oh, Dougie B... That was your chance.
  9. James
    Touché.

    Why is it you can make a comment about warmed nuts and it's ok, but if I do it... close to getting a temporary ban? It's an unfair world.

    I see we have the wild and not so effective Deduno thus far this game.
  12. James
    Well, at least we don't have to worry about being no hit tonight.
  13. James
    Sixty five posts and the game is only now just about to start.

    Not him. He's on first.

    We must be really anxious for Twins baseball if we're already up to 23 posts before the lineups are announced.

    Have fun in Vegas. You could always bet on the Twins while you're there (to win or lose). I heard they allow gambling in Vegas. Also, Craps is a ton of fun. If you hear something that sounds like a party inside a casino, there's pretty good odds that it's coming from a craps table. And RB, I agree with you about no. 1. I haven't known what to do with myself with 4 days of no Twins games.

    The Beatles Cirque show is great. I've lost track of how many times I've been to Vegas now. Here's a trick for getting some drinks (if you want them). Go to a casino bar with video poker. Put $20 in the machine and make sure the bartender see it. They will comp your drink. After you get your drink, you can cash out and get your $20 back. Easy way to get a free drink in Vegas. Or you could just gamble and get free drinks, but that tends to be more expensive in the long run.

    Revenue is not the same as profit. We don't know what they're operating costs are, so you don't know their profits compared to revenue. I'm not a saying the Pohlads aren't making money. They most certainly are. But let's not assume that they are making more profit than some other teams, because we just don't know. As far as revenues for the competitive balance lottery go, I'm sure these we're calculated off of 2012 revenues. The difference between the Twins (#17 in revenue) and Rockies (#22 in revenue) was all of $15 M. There is a chance for the lowest revenue clubs to change a lot for next year's picks. I got revenues from here: MLB Team Values: The Business Of Baseball - Full List - Forbes Before we get into this discussion again, know that the revenues are estimated and operating capital is not the same as profit.

    You may have misread. I was talking about the same situation. Twins trading for Hughes and then this whole QO thing, which wouldn't count for draft pick compensation. In addition, wouldn't a team need to make a QO before the actual free agency period begins? So a team couldn't suddenly respond to one of their players getting a multi-year contract by suddenly making a qualifying offer.
  20. James
    I believe they would still have the option to make the offer, but they wouldn't receive draft pick compensation if he didn't accept it. So, to make a QO to a guy you just traded for would make little sense.
  21. James
    You beat me to it. Well done, sir.
  22. James
    I thought if a player is traded, you wouldn't receive draft pick compensation if he turned down a qualifying offer.

    It says that the Twins turned those teams away, but could it be that they tried to low-ball TR and he told them to come back when they were serious? I'm hoping that's the case, but who knows...
  25. James
    Great article! This was a fantastic read. I have read about Grimes for the past few years, and it didn't click for me that he had switched positions. I hope he keeps making progress as a catcher. I think it's also pretty great that the Twins saw potential for him to be more effective at a different position and give him a shot at it. Keep up the good work Tyler!
