   1. I’m fine with a different team giving him a six year deal. When his bat speed starts to dip by a tick or two, it’s going to get brutal.

      1. Eddie-level mind gaps, too

         1. But a lot of absolute brilliance too.

            I know it's other people's money, but I wouldn't mind the first 3 or 4 years of that contract, and if the price for those is the last two, that might be worth it.

2. I'm not a hardliner or anything, but to me Christmas music doesn't start until tomorrow.

   1. Same, Mags. I enjoy The Interval, which is how I think of the time between Thanksgiving and the beginning of December, as a distinct time of the year.

      The Poissonnière is in her first year of piano lessons and is starting to learn a couple of Christmas tunes. I noticed that “Must Be Santa” is one of the songs in her lesson book. I’m going to show her the music video for Bob Dylan’s cover of that tomorrow night.

      1. OMG, no, the classic! (but don't play it until tomorrow)
         

      2. Trying to scare her off from Xmas music? Yeah, I get it.

      3. My girls know that as a Raffi song.

         I love that, given the choice, the Elder Daughter will listen to the Bad Religion Christmas album over any other option.

         "Do you want fast Christmas music or normal?"
         "FAST!"

3. Woof This is the bleakest timeline

   1. Now I wish I had a link to the old "Chrissy Chrissy Parm Parm" meme

   2. That was either September 9 or September 21. Both games had Doumit at DH. The 21st was against Oakland and featured future Atheltics' elite closer Liam Hendriks too.

   3. Believe it or not, there were actually worse outfield configurations than that one.

4. Jake Cave is a Saint again!

   The @Twins have claimed RHP Trevor Megill from the Cubs. To make room on the 40-man roster they have outrighted OF Jake Cave to @StPaulSaints #MNTwins

   1. well, there's that Cub Factor hit...

   2. I was hoping he was starting cornerback for the No saints.

   3. Nevermind.

      The #MNTwins have non-tendered Juan Minaya, Danny Coulombe and Trevor Megill.

      1. So what was the point of claiming him? Do the Twins benefit somehow by claiming him and then non-tendering him, rather than just not claiming him in the first place?

         1. Just in case

            1. In case of what? I mean, I don't really care all that much, but I am curious as to why the Twins would bother to claim a player just to non-tender him a few hours later.

               1. Could they have signed him avoiding arbitration and he wasn’t willing and they didn’t want to go to arbitration?

               2. In case the Yankees wanted him!
