    A cost effective, established starter for 4 years isn’t making it count? Let’s remember if it’s a little painful, that’s the right price. We’re all a little too accustomed to reading Betts for Jake Reed and Brian Duensing proposals on our team websites... Also, which WAR are you talking about? I learned the other day that WAR measures different things, so let’s clarify first.
  2. Vanimal46
    Exactly. I never thought I would witness an offseason where they sign a free agent for $20+ million AAV, AND trade a top prospect for established pitching. This is what I’ve wanted for years and I’m going to ****ing EMBRACE it!

    This has been crazy to see unfold... MLB baseball making a huge splash 2 days after the Super Bowl! Falvine made a judgment call and sold high on Graterol. Maybe they think he’s just a reliever. I’m excited that the rotation is getting stronger! It’s go time in 2020!!

    I like that we're thinking about the environment more and more in 2020... Thank you TD for recycling old posts!
  5. Vanimal46
    It was nice to see Graterol on this list... It’s not nice that the first 2 pitchers play for Cleveland.

    That’s okay, the term is harmless. Didn’t Rosario or some other player introduce it or something last year? Can’t recall. I think it’s silly personally but not enough to get worked up over.
  7. Vanimal46
    Over 272 with the juiced baseball. Under if they switch back to pre-2017 baseballs. Side note, can we leave the term Bomba in 2019?

    More food ideas: Over the (Rich) Hill Hotdog - We found old Dome dogs that we think are still edible! I'd wait until June first before trying them... Eggs Odorizzi - I mean, how is this not a food item right now? 2 over easy eggs on toast, topped with GarvSauce. Taylor's Tots - a small size of tator tots is all you need when Rogers is pitching.... Because the game will be over soon! Just a Littell Bit of Everything - a Platter option to choose 1-3 food items for the low, low price of $35! Home® Cooking - A station with a microwave so you can bring your home cooked meals to the ballpark! $10 for every 10 seconds in the microwave.

    We love idolizing athletes in this country, don’t we?

    The Twins have been signing ‘aging stars’ since before I was born, and probably after I’m dead. They can’t afford the price (FA or trade) to acquire them in their prime. So they get them on the back side of their career.

    Nothing outside of the Twitter world or reported on The Athletic... The buzzer was a theory to support why Altuve was so prepared to not have his teammates rip off his jersey after his game winning HR. Now I’m reading this conflicting tweet, and I am most likely wrong. https://twitter.com/joelsherman1/status/1217918038961467400?s=21

    To be clear, this wasn’t the only way they communicated the signs to the batter. Jomboy on Twitter has been following this story since it broke in November and is an excellent follow. They used trash cans against lesser teams because they could be heard in smaller crowds. They also used buzzers that were strapped to the player’s chest which was controlled by the hallway video guy.

    I hope so... There is still time left before deciding whether Dobnak and Thorpe are in the opening day rotation. I’m still hoping for more depth...
  14. Vanimal46
    I’m good with this signing! Donaldson improves the defense on the left side and has been a great baseball player for a long time. I’m happy we finally spent big money on a free agent.

    Cheers to watching a bunch of 11-10 ballgames this summer...

    Darvish is just one tiny example of the massive ripple effect cheating could cause. Darvish because of his poor WS performance lost a couple million, and his mojo for 1.5 years because of their cheating. Other players potentially lost out on additional arbitration money... Their bad performance against the Astros is added to the sample size, making them look worse. Other players potentially lost precious MLB service time and MLB salary because of bad performances against cheating teams... Cheating like this has massive effects.

    They’re running out of time to sign Berrios to a reasonable extension buying out 2-3 free agent years. There were a couple of comparable pitchers (Severino 4/40, Nola 4/45 with option to make it 5/53) the Twins could have used to start the discussion with Berrios. If he’s a Trevor Bauer type and wants to go year to year until free agency, we need to know that too and find out his value on the trade market.

    Yeah they wasted 4 years on Treadwell and haven’t made the right late round picks in recent years. Bisi Johnson looks like he could be a good WR 4, spot starter in a pinch. Pretty good for a 7th rounder. If the draft class is deep at WR I hope Rick picks the right sleeper this time. Back to the Gophers, I think Tyler Johnson has a sneaky good NFL career with good health. If he slips in the 4/5th round I’ll be rooting for the Vikes to take him.

    One of the better decisions I’ve made in life is listening to you, John, when you advertised TD on the Power Trip Morning Show... Been here for... *checks profile* 5 years now! Not too shabby, but still not as impressive as others who have been here since the dark days of 2012. They’re the fabric of the community, and why I come back almost daily!

    https://thedraftnetwork.com/player/antoine-winfield-jr/xPHI46MyyH I’d guess he’s a mid round pick. I love his instincts on the field. Not sure how he’ll test at the combine but I think he’s going to be a really good pro player.
  21. Vanimal46
    Good luck to him! I think this will be the start of several high draft picks for the Gophers.
  22. Vanimal46
    Excellent post!
  23. Vanimal46
    They’ve both been around the game long enough, and hopefully have the self-awareness to know they weren’t a team’s 1st, or, 5th option to sign.

    I hear Homer Bailey loves Taco Johns and breakfast pizza from Casey’s. Minnesota is quiet enough for Nelson Cruz to sleep in peace... Erv just loved smelling baseballs anywhere in the world. Nolasco came here to watch the world burn as he tossed beach balls down Broadway.
  25. Vanimal46
    Concur. I would gain more respect for the FO if they say we had a clear goal after the WS and failed. Fans will never get the full negotiation details. I frankly don’t care anymore who they were in or not in on. Just admit it was a failure and move on.
