  1. While his level of play will undoubtedly deteriorate over the last years of a long term contract, that is balanced in part by the fact that payrolls are likely to increase over time and the fixed outlay each year comes to represent an increasingly smaller percentage of the overall team payroll. Another way to avoid being hamstrung by an outrageous outlay for declining production would be frontloading the contract, with the annual salary dimishing as the player ages and production wanes.
  2. I am REALLY pulling for Nick Gordon to stay healthy and show that he can be a contributor at the MLB level, be it with the Twins or someone else. Seems he has been plagued by horrible luck and timing for the last few years - just hoping he can finally show what he can do and get an opportunity
  3. From a purely selfish standpoint, would prefer to see the AA affilitate be in St. Paul and the AAA in Wichita. The really hot prospects are not infrequently called up from AA while AAA is where the veterans/emergency callups are stationed. MIght not make sense geographically though...
  4. Maybe New Prague then. The main drag through town is unimaginatively called Main Street. Seems ripe for a change...
  5. There is also an O street on Coronado Island in San Diego. Appears to be a bit less prominent, perfect for a back-up catcher.
  6. That Charlie Brown kid reminds me of a young Joe Shlabotnik. I remember when he played for the Saints, then the Millers, and finally the old St. Cloud Rox...Let me tell you, no one knew anything about launch angles in those days. Back then it was "see the ball, hit the ball", that's what's wrong with the game today.
