    Sounds like he was in the passenger seat, 4 or 5 people total in the car, he was the only one who passed away. Single car accident as they hit a downed tree. I think it's important at times like this to always remember to wear your seat-belt, I'm not going to say Yorman wasn't wearing a seat-belt, but typically when it's a one car accident and one person passes away that is usually the case. Hopefully his team-mates, fans, and friends can learn from this to ensure that no more lives are extinguished to early. If it turns out he wasn't wearing a seat belt, this story is even more tragic as it would have been avoidable. 2016 has been a real gut punch.

    Tragic. Especially when someone is that young and has their whole life ahead of them.

    They wouldn't think about it for a minute IMHO. Though the article does make some good points overall! I would love if they could somehow snag that deal, I just wish it was San Diego we were trading with!

    Nick, no thoughts on the Dozier Dodgers imminent trade?
  5. DaveW
    Ahhh....good work though! Maybe it speeds up retirement still?

    I told you to do it man! J/K, hindsight 20/20 etc Nvidia has been one of my bigger "wins" stock wise in a long long time, so I am enjoying this wave. I just wish I had more balls and would have put more into it, unfortunately these damn weddings don't pay for themselves My Marijuana stocks unfortunately have leveled off a bit, a lot of question marks up in the air at this stage. I'd recommend continuing to invest in any energy/oil companies as well over the next couple months. Bitcoin still continuing to rise, still time to jump on that train, I'd bet that it hits $900 in the next 60 days.

    Wow, they actually built that casino. You think at some point cities would learn from the follies of Detroit, Atlantic City, LA etc...

    I think Santana's value will be higher this year at the trade deadline. I like Santana and all, but you can always find mid rotation guys on the FA market without having to give up assets to trade for one. Inevitably one team contending will be short a solid pitcher come the deadline, trade him then.

    Nothing wrong with taking some time to let the body and mind heal. The baseball grind is a tough one. 162 games, 81 on the road plus another 30-50 with ST and playoffs.

    The last thing the Twins should be doing at this stage is trading minor leaguers for "veteran" pitchers. I wouldn't mind Pom or Buch, but I don't want them to give up any player with a potential future here.
  11. DaveW
    If you say so...

    I'd also be willing to bet anyone that Ramos gives a nice amount of more value in 2 years (1.5 years) then Castro does in 3 years for this team (one extra pitch frame strike per game included!)
  13. DaveW
    Wow, Rays continue to outclass the Twins every step of the way. They get Ramos on a fantastic two year deal, and we get stuck with a 1.0-1.5 WAR catcher for 3 years in Castro. Old habits die hard I suppose, Falvey/Levine should have completely cleaned the rest of the toxic front office house when they had the chance.

    Buxton may be faster, but Moncada is clearly the better base stealer at this point. Buxton does have him beat in the field (and arm) no doubt, but give me Moncada's other three tools over him in a heart beat.
  15. DaveW
    100x this It truly illustrates just how poorly this team was ran over the last decade.
  16. DaveW
    Yes he is.
  17. DaveW
    Plenty of teams would give up that first rounder for him.
  18. DaveW
    Moncada is a significantly better prospect then Sano or Buxton.
  19. DaveW
    WOW Sale to the Red Sox. White Sox get Moncada who is a hall of famer in the making.
  20. DaveW
    Yuuuuuupppp
  21. DaveW
    I'd argue that Castro isn't objectively "good" He's probably a 1.0-1.4 WAR player.
  22. DaveW
    I'm definitely intrigued by Garver, good points.
  23. DaveW
    I'd argue the new boss doesn't have as much power as he would like over Molitor. Imo it's absurd ownership forced them to keep molitor around after the worst season in franchise history.
  24. DaveW
    Moving on from plouffe was a complete no brainer, I mean I'm glad it happened by I'm not going to claim that was a shrewd move by the FO. They should have traded Plouffe prior to last season, but water under the bridge Castro is a defensive catcher, yes, but 3 years is to long for a guy who is not even a 2 WAR player. 1-2 years would have been better.
  25. DaveW
    I don't think anyone brought up anything besides the PR part...
