    . . . "today focused on fans being back at the ballpark" . . . Fans? So, it was really hot and they had to blow the air around with fans? I don't get it.

    Throw it right down the pipe, he'll never expect it.

    Son-of-a-Sea-Cook.

    I think I had a studio apartment long ago that had less room than that.

    its like an echo chamber in here.

    Excellent point. I've always thought it interesting that a team could actually trade a player they had under contract. A contract implies an exclusive relationship and to me should be honored as is for its length. if MLB used a binding contract in this fashion, I'd limit it to 1, 2 or 3 year contracts, which ever player and team came to an agreement on. Players could only be traded to another organization when the contract expired. You could still use a signing bonus, but not incentives or milestones creating tiered contracts. Both the Owners and the Union would probably hate it. But then we wouldn't have Bobby Bonilla day every July 1st when the Mets pay him $1.16 million dollars from 2011 until 2035. Oh the humanity.

    i think its "Yo-WAHN Doo-RAHN".

    Sometimes you never know how it's all going to work out until you play the games. It's a good thing that we can even look forward to a championship season rather than mediocrity. I'm a Blackhawks fan and thought this season would be awful with the injuries to Nylander and Dach and the missing of Crawford and Toews but the kids are playing like their hair is on fire and the whole team has responded with inspiring hockey. I don't know if they'll win anything but it sure is fun to watch. I'm kind of hoping this for the Twins and they play inspiring baseball. 0-18 in the post season is an embarrassment and this year would be a good time to crush that.

    If Arraez is going to play a lot of OF, I hope they work on his stride as he persues the baseball. Can't be taking those little baby steps trying to get to the ball. Cue up the Devon White video.

    A truly deadened baseball for 2021 could produce more possible base hits to track down in the outfield. Outfield range might become more important than recently needed.
  11. AceWrigley
    Mee too. I thought he was going to have more of a MLB career than he has so far, but he is still in the Red Sox organization and might see The Show again.

    Channeling the power of Zoltar the Magnificent can be magical.

    When I click on the photo of Bartolo it takes me to Twitter where I am greeted by the message; "The following media includes potentially sensitive content." I can only assume that his burrito count is high in roentgens or what ever unit one uses to measure burritoness and Twitter is just protecting my delicate sensibilities. How wonderful.

    Enlow has the ability to really carve through a lineup; makes hitters look really uncomfortable in the batters box. I kind of hate to make comparisons but Gerrit Cole does it like this to MLB hitters, biting stuff and explosive fastball. If/when Enlow figures out how to put hitters away I sure wouldn't look forward to facing him.
  15. AceWrigley
    A healthy (if) James Paxton would be an upgrade for most rotations.
  16. AceWrigley
    I won't mince words about this; Ray Pepper, Chili Davis and Kyle Garlick would make for a tasty outfield.
  17. AceWrigley
    Mugato from Zoolander, "Gar-a-licte!"

    Ought to keep the vampires away.

    Over the years probably every aspect of athletics has changed. Apparel, equipment, stadiums, fitness, diet, training, strategy, etc. Even cheating. Football used to be 3 yards and a cloud of dust, now its aerial bombardment. Baseball used to be hit the ball and run around, now its stand around until someone goes downtown. Stuff changes all the time to make comparisons across eras pretty tough to do. But each athlete has the current playing field to compete on and teams strive to win in the environment they're given. It's what makes athletics fun to watch (except in-game video reviews).

    I still think records have meaning. In 1908 Tim Jordan led the National League with 12 homeruns, a paltry total compared to today but still, he was the 1908 NL homerun king.
  21. AceWrigley
    Depth.
  22. AceWrigley
    i like how they planned ahead to let teams know before constructing rosters for the new season.

    Old friend Andrew Albers signed to a minor league deal with spring training invite. Looks like a lefty arm for the mound flingers of St. Paul.
  24. AceWrigley
    No lack of opinions here. I agree with Seth. It's a long season and you never know how many injury/wuhan virus absences will occur. A versatile guy like Willians could come in handy. And, some here like watching him play.
  25. AceWrigley
    I think Bailey Ober is the sleeper here. I don't know if he projects as a starter or reliever at the MLB level, but with his elite control and the ability to miss bats he has a chance to have an impact for the Twins in 2021.
