    $20 is just way too much. $10 is pretty much the sweet spot, and that’s after adding the Twins. There’s just nothing on there worth watching besides Twins and Wild games (for me). No point in cancelling cable and getting 10 different streaming services that add up to the same price as cable. I used PS Vue and Sling, but it cost too much for limited content.

    I want to like this more than once.

    People are hustling to call “no dibs” on the minor league report writing the next couple days.

    They’ve definitely upgraded their pitching today, which is nice to see.

    Hate to give up such solid prospects, but you can’t get decent pitchers for free. Miranda doing so well helps, too. Hopefully it pays off. Also, the rotation for next year is lining up to be pretty solid.

    I think he’s great for what his role is as a utility fielder. If you can get 3 or 4 years out of him in this role, that’s really solid. Obviously not ideal for a 5th overall pick, but you could do worse than what you’re getting out of him. I don’t think he ever takes anyones starting spot, but he’s going to get in a lot of games at a lot of spots going forward.

    It was a dump, but I have so many memories of going to games there that I can’t look at it any other way than fondly. All those days in high school and college when we sat in the cheap seats and had a great time.

    Edit: Bryan made me double post and I don’t know how to fix it.

    F’ing Bryan.

    Got one guy signed:

    Killebrew is 39 years old in that picture? You could have told me that he's in his 50's, and I wouldn't have asked questions.

    I think it's a little early for him to get cut, but I think missing that camp time didn't help his cause. I agree that he'd definitely get some opportunities this summer, but going on Twitter and being pissed about it rarely is a useful way to go about it. Doesn't make them move you up faster, and rarely makes them trade you faster, since you won't bring back as much right away.

    Thorpe doesn't seem super jazzed about the whole thing on Twitter.
  14. Yoke
    Barry is a friend I follow on Twitter, but I have him on mute so I don't have to actually see what he says.

    I think he'll be good insurance to have at AAA for if Sano gets hurt. Miguel is usually good for an injury or two during the season, so having Rooker around to come up would be nice. If he comes up, he can find some things to work on when he goes back down. Later in the season he could be a good 26th man, then, and it hurts me on the inside to say this, Astudillo can go to AAA.

    It will be interesting to see how all of the prospects move up and into the majors over the next few years, with the way all of the starters are signed to contracts for a couple more years. Either the guys on the team now will be moved for more pieces and these guys end up on the Twins, or the guys in the prospect pool could be traded for stronger pieces. Good problem to have, I suppose.

    It's like reading the previews for the next five Sportive podcasts, including the dates.
  18. Yoke
    Should be good enough as the backup catcher. Let him play vs. right hand pitchers and it'll be alright. If Garver gets hurt and Avila is the starter for a while, I won't be real jazzed up.
  19. Yoke
    ....oh goodness, no.

    Maybe I didn't explain the whole thing properly. You can call up the whole 40 man roster, like you've been able to do every year for lord knows how long. So you've got 40 guys in the locker room that day, and a couple hours before the game you have to hand in the 26 that are going to be on the game roster for that given night. So your question "how do you keep the minor league players game ready?", the answer is that you put them on the game roster a few times between the end of the AAA season and the end of the MLB regular season, and they play in the game. Hopefully that makes more sense.

    I would have preferred September stayed the same way as the regular season (with the 26 it'll be for next season), but you can call up anyone from your 40 man roster. Before the game you have to set your 26 man roster, and some guys are healthy scratches (like hockey does). Mostly what'd happen is they'd healthy scratch the 4 SP's that wouldn't pitch for 4 RP, but you could call up 6 RP and rotate them in and out. You could also do the same with hitters. If you need more lefty hitters one day, you healthy scratch a couple righty hitters, and so on.

    Suzuki was my pick for catcher when I saw the headline and started thinking about my own version of the team. I couldn't remember off the top of my head how much time Mauer had spent at catcher. There's not much to argue about with it, really. There have only been one or two guys at each position for the last 10 years that you'd put on a good baseball team, and they're all listed.
  23. Yoke
    I'd keep him at SS for the future, but sprinkle in some games at 3B and in the OF to keep him fresh with it. The more position flexibility a player can have the better. I do think that he makes his MLB debut as a 3B, unless Polanco is injured.
  24. Yoke
    My plan would be to sign one high level starter and a strong RP, trade an OF for a starter, and re-sign Romo and Odorizzi. That leaves the 5th starter spot open, and the OF spot that can be filled in-house. You could talk me into signing two RP, too. You wouldn't have to try hard, either.

    Really ran the gamut there, eh? F word...alright...oh damn...OH DAMN...happy F word.
