OK, my earlier flippancy aside: Is there any information at all on the shooter's motive? Were his victims fellow passengers on his flight? Plane rage sounds off the mark if not. The scenario sounds not so much different than if someone mentally ill (as this shooter apparently had already been diagnosed) arrived locally at the baggage claim with a firearm.

Chase is a reprehensible company to do business with.

In more ways than one. What are the odds Falvey and Levine haven't already had major disagreements on how to proceed on this lengthy decision?

It's what one realistically does. But I'm not fine with it.

The headline at MLBTR remains "to re-sign". http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2016/12/dodgers-resign-kenley-jansen.html Handshake deal, waiting only for space to open up? A hilarious thing for a shady alternate-universe Twins front-office to do? Reach an agreement for more money* with Jansen, and hold him "hostage" for the trade we want. OK, so we get stuck with Jansen for something more than the 5/80M deal he currently has agreed to, if this gambit fails. But, word gets around, you don't mess with US, bro - we gotcher handshake deal right here - we crazy. * MLBTR reports that Washington offered $5M more. So we'd have to be in the neighborhood of 5/100M I guess.

The question to be answered is Engelb Vielema's stick.

But accuracy can be the symptom, when arm strength is the underlying issue. He tries to give the throw a little more oomph, and suddenly the first baseman is lunging in any of four directions (or combinations thereof). Our Jorge Polanco is an example of this, IMO.

I floated this earlier regarding the Marlins and got informed that Mattingly doesn't like Puig. So, find me a different team that would like Puig as a bounce-back candidate, perhaps an impoverished team, and try this: LA: Pitching (JDL, plus 1 or 2 lesser prospects) to Minn, Puig to Team X Team X: Strong pitching prospect to Minn Minn: Dozier to LA, half Puig's salary to Team X I still believe LA is under pressure from MLB to reduce either debt or payroll, and this provides relief without having to actually take Puig ourselves.

This is why there is some upside to gambling on keeping Dozier and trying again to trade him in June or July. As an overly simple analysis, today a team such as the Dodgers might estimate him as a 3 WAR player for the 2 years on his contract. If a hot first half marks him as more like a 5 WAR player going forward, half a season remaining in 2017 plus all of 2018 is more WAR in total than 3 times 2.

I can not in good conscience support either a place or an entertainer who purposely misspells Ashbury. In fact I downright Haight that.

I would think genuine demotions of staff are rare, to the point of nonexistence. If there's a problem, there's a firing.

That's what we learn from Teh Googlez. You'd have to ask Brock to do a careful search of the database if you want a definitive answer on this important issue.

If you didn't say it someone was poised to.

There is a rumor going around that the Dodgers are in negotiations to acquire just such a player.

We do our best to obliterate that difference.

Oops, I may have to back down from the challenge after all. It was Zenser both times. Thrylos mentioned just the last name, in the mists of Antiquity (2012): http://twinsdaily.com/topic/254-article-ryan-must-react/?p=1515

In memory also of a recent Twins DFA/claimed/DFA/claimed/DFA/claimed who shall remain nameless: If you believe in forever Then life is just a one-night dream, If there's a DFA heaven Well you know they've got a hell of a team

A male around 60? Nope.

A discussion was implicit by opening the thread, and you've gotten one - in fact quite a lot in a short amount of time. If "at this point" a discussion still leads off how you view your un-met expectations, I suspect you are wanting more than we can ultimately give you. Each of the moderators, in their individual ways, is uncomfortable with the "application" (enforcement) aspect of the role. (I'll go out on a limb and state that IMO this might be an important qualification for the role. ) But think of speed enforcement on the freeway. Is it uniformly enforced? Yes, and no. If you choose to go 95, your odds of being pulled over approach 100%, given a certain amount of time. If you choose to go 75 in a 65 urban freeway zone, will you get pulled over? Maybe. Might depend on a host of factors beyond your control, including the fact that 100% monitoring and/or prior restraint is not attempted in most places. Finally, might the traffic cop end up doing 95 briefly, in the course of such duties? It's not hypocrisy to do that, if it seems the most effective way to get the job done. If you never get tickets, great. Or if you get tickets for going 95, you probably already have lost your license. But if you occasionally get ticky-tack penalties for going 75, it's more your own call as to whether to adjust your behavior a little, to reduce the number to a more acceptable level, or adjust a little more and stay entirely with the flow of traffic, which often involves speed a little above the letter of the law anyway. TD moderators don't flag every word that might be a little out of line. Who would want a site like that? But then you are faced with a site involving multiple small judgment calls every day. Uniformity is unfortunately a will o' the wisp to chase. We do aim for it, though, as other moderators have already tried to explain. The TD Comment Policy, which others have already commended to your careful attention since you appear to want to explore edge-cases (so did the writer after the first post within it, apparently ), makes much ado about respectful posting and not being disruptive. But important though they are, these are not ends in themselves. Ultimately we don't care if one poster respects others, just so long as language to them in public puts on a good simulation of it. We're trying to build an online community here, and we want to foster mature discussion centering on the Twins. That's the goal, not "respect". To the extent that perceived disrespect or disruption hinders that larger aim, that's when the moderators take steps. Sometimes a little disrespect is un-read by any moderator, or is simply missed, or is thought to be too small to be disruptive. Since none of the moderators is on the site anywhere close to 24/7, even-handed application is going to be moot even if we all agreed on what "uniform" means. Few people enjoy receiving correction, even from acknowledged superiors, much less from peers (if we mods may flatter ourselves in such a way). I hope the several posts you've received in response in this thread will help you reach some peace with the situation you experienced.

Get in line.
