  1. They've got at least one Twin-expat living out here in this basin!! I'll be at all three, unabashedly cheering for the boys. Unless they are getting crushed, in which case I will be crying silent tears in my seat with my hood up. Seeing the Braves (47-50) take down the Dodgers twice last week and break their streak was kind of spectacular and gives me added confidence. We can do this. [insert fist bump.]
  2. I was just about to post that photo!! They've got a great group of guys down there. Looking forward to catching them live a few times this season.
  3. This would be implemented right as I'm about to move out of state... >_< sounds like a great deal though and I'd definitely buy in if I could!!
  4. All I want for Christmas is Urias in a Sota uniform... but Santa always marks my letters "Return to Sender."
  5. Can't tell if you're serious. Do you really think that the Twins, or any major league club for that matter, would have their top ranked prospects on the 'Netflix and Chill' off-season plan? As fans, we may not have that instant gratification of directly measurable results from October - February work, but that definitely doesn't mean he was sitting on his !!! eating cheetos for five months. I promise that no one is more frustrated by Buxton's struggle at the plate than Buxton himself.
  6. What's next for Buxton is the rest of May, the rest of the season, turning 23, taking a deep breath to remove some of the negativity and self doubt, and working with Torii / other mentors / the rest of his qualified coaching staff who believe in him. I can't speak for the rest of the fan base, but this one ---> still believes in him too!
  7. Maybe I'm missing where you're going with this... But WAR doesn't dictate the assigned monetary value of the player. The formula is:WAR = (Batting Runs + Base Running Runs + Fielding Runs + Positional Adjustment + League Adjustment +Replacement Runs) / (Runs Per Win)Notably, there is a lack of n(JerseysSold), n(5YrOldsCitingXAsFavoritePlayer), n(twitterLikes). Like Seth said, it's a good comparative value tool. Not linear to expected/deserved salary, which DOES take into account all of those fan rating, revenue stream, etc. numbers. Just my $0.02
  8. Great athlete and an even greater young man off the field. Humble, hard working, curious, appreciative.... lots of great things to say about this kid in only a short time knowing him. No more kissing girls and getting mono!
  9. Think of the dramatic change in perception if you change that one word: cockiness -> OPTIMISM. Faith. Trust. Determination. Tenacity. Ambition. We've all sat through some rough years as Twins fans, but those characteristics are what keep me coming back.
  10. And he looks like a real-life TC bear... How could you not endorse that?!
  11. Did Carlos Paulino (Chattnooga) move up to AAA? Or is the Red Wings' website just not updated... as usual.
  12. Looking forward to watching you progress in Ft. Myers! Keep grinding.
