I wanna know who voted Buddy Boshers! Ah, Pleiss eh? You have any loose change lying around that needs, ya know, special attention? I specialize in such, shall we say, transactions....

Poll: Who will win the World Series?
Sox got the mojo - Possible MVP in Betts, last time 'round for Ortiz, and a fantastic supporting cast, some of whom have been there, plus a home field advantage. Sox Giants or Cubs is my ideal final.

Reusse: Falvey will need time
But at least it worked, twice. How about the Vikings way, or the Wolves, North Stars/Wild way? How's that worked out? Lynx are the new gold standard aroung here.

2017 MLB draft thread
Looking at that vid of Greene, wow, he has the look of a future stud for a barely 17 year old kid, already 6'4"200lbs. All arms and legs coming at ya, but in a coordinated way. Sounds like he has a great make up too especially after reading this: http://www.baseballamerica.com/draft/get-to-know/

Byron Buxton Appreciation Thread
I remember watching Christian Guzmann just run mad around the bases, and was fast and looked fast, but it looked max-effort, short quick strides. Buxton runs like a sprinter, such long strides he makes it look so elegant/effortless. I did see the look on his face as he rounded third, which blew the illusion somewhat, but wowza what a stride that kid has, 20+mph. This last month has been a blast to watch, 103 losses be damned.

Buxton 2-4 with 2B, HR, 2 RBI, BB. Sano 2-4 with HR, 3 RBI, BB. Kepler 2-3. Berrios 5 IP, 1 ER, W. More games like this from these 4 in 2017 could mean a lot more wins.

Game Thread: Twins @ Royals, 6:15pm CDT 9/28/2016 AD
Here's something to consider: http://i926.photobucket.com/albums/ad109/monkeypox/Screen%20Shot%202016-09-28%20at%206.24.27%20PM.png Grossman has a pretty good OPS. So good, that one asks, should he be the LF and Rosario the 4th OF? Eddie can play all 3 spots, whereas RG is limited to LF. Makes some small sense. Also, Vargas needs to play until he proves he's not capapble.

I thought Austin Powers at first, but that's just 2.

Sickels: End of 2016 Top 100 Prospects
Well, hopefully they add a top 20, if not top 10 talent with the next #1 overall. What a nice present to give your new chief of baseball operations! Like a housewarming gift.

Brooks Pounders. He and Buddy Boshers could be the cornerstones of the silly bullpen.

Well, if we don't win it's a shame. Hardly worth losing sleep over Masochism sounds much worse.

I can only hope our new chief executive might have the level of critical acumen that most you folks at TD seem to have. Molly ain't dumb, but he is just a bad manager, period. To clarify, given the Twins situation, we need a manger who will help develop young players, and get the fundamentals sound. Sounds like TK.

Taking Berrios out now? Well played Cretin, well played. This team ain't going nowhere with him in charge. Bert just crucified PM.

What big named Free agent pitchers are available this off-season?
Has Johan Santana officially retired? I'd bring him in to do a vulcan mind-meld with Berrios.

Byron Buxton Appreciation Thread
Thanks for the nice highlight package there - considering most of those are from the last month or so, there is much to be encouraged about with Buxton's future.
