    I'd prefer they load up the front office with talent evaluators and stat guys, not guys stuck in the 1970's like Torri Hunter... I do like the Hawkins hire, Cuddy could be interesting as well. Hunter just reeks of "hey maybe this will sell tickets! Former Twins great!" Hopefully I'm wrong.

    I keep hearing talk of platoon, but the thing with a platoon is you need a second good player to pair with him. I don't see it currently.

    Strong start? I'd pump the breaks quite a bit for a catcher who is declining by the year and who's greatest asset is "pitch framing" which adds about one strike per game. Castro maybe adds one win a year, only 30 more to go!

    Lol Gophers. What a terrinle program, don't understand how you can keep the coach. They had a cupcake schedule this year and had zero big wins
  5. DaveW
    If the Twins wanted to get rid of Santiago they could have simply non tendered him.

    Puig wouldn't be the centerpiece of any deal, and likely the Dodger would pick up a few bucks anwyays I bet. With that said though, Puig would be a GREAT high upside/buy low candidate. Behind Buxton and Kepler the Twins OF depth over the next couple years is pretty weak anyways, Rosario took a step back last year and is still a ways away from being a reliable corner OF in the majors. Puig-Buxton-Kepler could be an elite OF if all hit their ceiling. I'd still want two high upside pitchers back in return though, for sure. No desire for a future 1B/DH type, those grow on trees...

    It makes no sense for those two to talk to Dozier, both have been on the job for less than a month pretty much, no? They need to be working 24/7 on how to improve the team. Dozier is under contact for the next couple years, so honestly, there is no reason for them to meet with him during this very busy time during early FA, GM meetings etc.

    The next season of black mirror is gonna be nuts! It starts Jan 20th here in the states!
  9. DaveW
    Yeah, this is my feeling, 1 or even 2 year deal would be fine, 3? Would the pohlads allow us to move on from another deal if Castro continues to decline? I just hope this doesn't take the focus off the fact that they should be actively looking to get some legit catching prospects in the system as well.

    I guess time will tell. But as usual I will be proven right
  11. DaveW
    Ramos will catch in 2017
  12. DaveW
    Ramos would have been a much better choice imo
  13. DaveW
    Now if only we could do the same with the seemingly 9 DH's we have... I'd just prefer we got someone better, that's all. I'd upgrade the bullpen next.

    They are going for 5, they said it's all planned out to go 5. That's when they start making a lot of their money back anyways
  15. DaveW
    Westworld has been good, I worry about Joe they can get 5 seasons out of it though.
  16. DaveW
    I get that he is better defensively then Zuke, but the problem with the starting pitching is outside of Santana and Berrios there aren't really any guys who can be anything more than backend filler at this stage. Pitch framing doesn't help when dudes are hitting the cover off the ball against you. I just really don't like the 3 years aspect.
  17. DaveW
    Last 3 years: 1.6 EAR, 1.5 WAR, 1.1 WAR. Terrible K Rate, terrible CS% trending downwards. I wouldn't mind if this was a one year signing, but 3 years? Ugh, give those at bats to someone with an upside at least. Castro is not that.
  18. DaveW
    Twins fans were the one over hyping Berrios. His height alone limits his ceiling to a #2...which is fine and all, just not the savior many hoped for.
  19. DaveW
    They need to fix the catching no doubt, but they need to be aiming much higher than Jason Castro. Just like when it comes to pitching they need to acquire good arms instead of mediocre arms like Nolasco and Hughes.

    Stop Overpaying For Mediocre Players

    Nvidia keeps going up up up up Still time to hop on this train!
  22. DaveW
    Yes I have been on Nvidia for a couple years. It will keep going higher. Awesome day today though!
  23. DaveW
    Nvidia is doing well these days, I don't see that momentum stopping any time in the near future, it would be by far my number one pick. CannaGrow Hldgs is one I bought two years ago when it was at 25 cents a share, I really didn't pay any attention and only bought it because a friend in Colorado told me to, but suddenly about 2-3 weeks ago it shot up to $1.50 then $2.50 and then $3.00 Was able to sell off 25% of the shares around $2.80, not a bad ROI and a good time to move that money into less volatile stock. Does anyone do any bitcoin trading? I bought a decent chunk when it was around $450 about 6 months ago, and then doubled up at $550 today it's at $680, anyone have any ideas on how high it will go over the next 3-6 months? I think if it hits $800 I may sell 15-20% off.
  24. DaveW
    Yuuuuuup It goes all the way to the near top. Either management knew, or they were the most ignorant bozos on the planet. Either one should warrant firings.
  25. DaveW
    Prosecute the **** out of them. I don't care what their sales goals were and how crappy a company was they worked for, you can't steal Peoples Identities, social security numbers etc and commit fraud. Just because you work for a crap company doesn't give you immunity from being a felon. Leave the job and get a new one. Jesus. Also I find it epic right now that a Wells Fargo ad is running an inch below the "post" button here. I had a checking and savings account with Wells Fargo, I canceled it today and moved it to my chase account (until they get busted for this nonsense I will just use them and BoA) my banker here in the city for wells Fargo was begging me to stay with them, it was clear he knew that this was only the tip of the iceberg with this crap.
