Stewart is not at the 5 million mark, he's pre-arb, making 900,000. Taylor was a trade, not a FA.

Just using 5 million/season as a baseline for "big" free agent moves, the Falvine era has been mediocre to awful throughout. Jason Castro, Addison Reed, Lance Lynn, Marwin Gonzales, Romo, Homer Bailey, Donaldson, Andrelton Simmons, JA Crapp, Colome, Logan Morrison, Bundy, Gallo and Vazquez have...

Right now, he's scheduled to pitch on Thursday for St. Paul. Could easily slot him in for the getaway day start vs. the Sux, then demote him and take Henriquez (or whoever) with them on the road trip to Anaheim.

Kepler off IL. Carmago down, Varland down. Ronny Henriquez to the 40-man and the big club.

Can't disagree. It still astounds me that they were able to find a Rhode Island Italian with absolutely no fire/passion who is completely devoid of a backbone.

I brought this up last year. Rocco manages like Mr. Burns. The righty/lefty match up is all that matters. Piles and piles of data available and the only one they look at is what side of the plate the batter stands on.

Joe Pohlad might want to get one of his servants to wipe the egg off his face.

Me too. I rolled my eyes pretty hard when Finch and Nori were talking about not wanting to show their hand in the season finale. Total team win. As noted, it does kind of stink that they don't play again until Tuesday.

I was expecting nothing out of Martin. He really hasn't hit real well anyplace other than the Fall League. But the guy just has the ability to make things happen on the bases.

Heck of a week for the Porter family. Jontay banned. Yesterday another brother, Coban, received a six-year prison sentence for killing a Colorado woman while driving drunk. Both are brothers of Michael Porter from the Nuggets.

Guess they were saving them for today. Carmago finally gets his shot at DH, batting 8th. Martin in LF batting 9th.

Again, they call up Carmago, and he appears in one game in a week, and that was when they were getting humiliated in Baltimore in the 9th inning. What's the point? If you don't think he can help, why call him up?

Some utter buffoonery by the Tigers leads to a tie game late.

I know Fleck wanted helmet comms and tablets, he talked about that on his radio show.

It's not technically cheating, but for some reason, I have started getting reels of people opening old wax packs on my Facebook feed. The other day, some guy pulled an Orioles Jeff Reboulet card. I banked in my mind that he was also a Twin. Couple days later, the stars align and he's good for...
