Building Trade value

Wilson is too big...AAA ump can't see outside corner

I think we're headed for a little Dick Bremer Soft Serve Ice Cream FREe baseball today Why...because I got a Tee Time

Have to get to the 9th first...

Not sure of the Title but I'll nominate a song I used to hear on 'CCO most of the summer It started like this "We're gonna win Twins, we're gonna score..."

A little greedy there with Joe coming up

Nice of Grossman and Cave to set up Wilson for the Pop up to end the Houdini by the O's EDIT: Negative Suggestion is now 2-2

Opportune time to take advantage of 3 catchers on the roster...but nope we will settle for a GDP EDIT: The Power of Negative Suggestion!!!

Doze costing Twins in trade value and himself in next contract I'm with Escobar...Easy fix for Dozier is to start eating red meat again

Nice to see Brewer injury updates on Twins Telecasts Probably not PC to show Sano's current BFP

Has to be a first....Rosario took 5 straight pitches to begin that AB

Only thing that could have prevented that DP would have been the infield fly rule

When you look up Tailor-Made double play ball it will look exactly opposite of that screamer off Wilson's bat

And with the return of Old Nibbly Gibby it's a good thing that Wilson is hitting so well as he does his best Mitch Garver on that fastball (Gibson did miss the target but still catchable)

And people say the 4th of July doesn't mean anything to Canadians Thanks for the view of your northern neighbors Seth!

Thought I read somewhere that Motter was already sent to AAA

After watching zero meaningful offensive output for...well most of the season here's a High Risk attempt to jump start the offense in 2019 (note could be done this July if more prospects are sacrificed) Here's how to get it done RE-SIGN CURRENT TWINSMauer 2 years and negotiate the $$...for place holder I'll use $7M/year for 2 yearsEscobar $10M/year for 3 yearsRosario, Buxton, Kepler, Sano ARB1 guys estimating $2M-$3M for each of them FREE AGENTSPick your Closer/Setup Dude - Cody Allen $39M/3yearsMachado - Open up the wallet and pay so much he can't say no - $30M/year for 10 years - $35M for 8 Guy will be 25...fits current core's age and plays everyday, maybe he'll be a good role model Worst case he's Victor Martinez for the last 3 years TRADESQuit wishing and hoping and dreaming that a semi-bargain catcher will come through...it's gonna cost but in this dream Falvine are gonna get RealmutoI'd hope including Romero with Gordon and/or another arm or bat should work (wouldn't want to but gotta spend to get) LINEUPPolancoRosarioMachadoRealmutoEscobarSanoKeplerMauerBuxton STARTERS (If they've been keeping this offense in games this year why not roll with them again)BerriosGibsonPineda - Lance Lynn replacement for a year unless greatOdorizziMejia - Slegers - Gonsalves - Whoever has options left next year BULLPENFinally we just ride with the young arms...i'd even let Pressly ride off in the sunsetPick a FA Closer Can't be tied to anyone other than Berrios and the Ed's from this season...want to part ways with Mauer? use the $7M elsewhere that works too, I think the Twins will re-sign him for however long he'd like at a hometown priceDuffey/May in place of Pressly saves $3MAdrianza too spendy in ARB slide in a $1M utility guyKepler/Rosario needed to get Realmuto...then move Rooker/Wade up If Falvine are the Wonder Twins it's time for them to Activate Their Powers and do something to make their mark This post brought to you by the 2005 Cream Reunion Concert...Clapton playing the same as 40 years earlier??

<EDIT using correct rules this time> Just the start of good things to come Updated Math Twin's Bonus Pool: $5,930,000 Signed player total: $2,183,700 ____________________________ Bonus $$$ Left: $3,746,300 Larnach: $2,550,000 (according to Star Trib article) Balance $1,196,300 Available for Mack and Sands unless they sign Halverson for anything more than $125,000

Here's an update from MLB Pipeline I agree that all things point to a done deal...and that they'd like to still fit Mack in as well...and...and it's still not done

Silver lining 46 of last 80 are against the AL Central Win all of those and finish 81-81...maybe more of a grey-lining
