    very trim? Yeah, about 5 years ago. He doesn't look trim now.

    Buxton, the CF in the 2017 All Statcast team. We didn't even have Sprint Speed or Outs Above Average last year, and Buxton's speed was such that he still made the 2016 version of this team. He's the only repeat player this year, because our new tools have put his skills into much clearer focus. His 30.2 feet-per-second Sprint Speed is tops in the big leagues, just ahead of Billy Hamilton. His +24 OAA mark is also the best, well ahead of Ender Inciarte's +19. And in August, he broke his own home-to-home record by circling the bases in just 13.85 seconds, a new mark. It says here that won't be his last. http://m.mlb.com/news/article/261886728/judge-and-buxton-lead-2017-all-statcast-team/?topicId=27118122

    for an inhouse, hometown player they drafted and developed and that they know everything about.

    Couldn't agree more.

    I am almost completely off network TV. My guilty pleasure is The Blacklist (because of how James Spader is in it) but other than that, I avoid network TV unless it's something my daughter wants to watch (like Big Bang Theory) which I couldn't care less about, but it's about snuggling with her and watching something she likes.

    One was elected President just last year.

    yeah, in 5 years, my taxes would more than double. good times.

    Well, Gardy believed he was the best fielder on the team at every position, so maybe you have something there :-)

    Or maybe we learned that he needed to get the experience under his belt 2015, 2016 (you know, it being his first two year managing at ANY level), which helped prepare him for 2017. Imagine if we didn't give a player MVP or CY Young because of how they performed the year before.

    Not only that, but 23 X 3= 69. Mauer's salary was more like 1/4 of the Twins payroll. And yeah, Mauer wasn't worth 23M this year, but he was worth around 18M and I'm sure every IF and pitcher was happy to have his defense at 1B.

    I highly encourage those who can to watch this past Sunday's episode of 'Last Week Tonight with John Oliver'

    Buxton also won the Fielding Bible award for top CF in baseball.
  15. jimmer
    For me, he's a most deserving HOFer.

    Our rotation was 10th in AL WAR. 10th in FIP (13 in xFIP) 12th on K/9 12th in IP Our bullpen was 13th in AL WAR 11th in FIP (11th in xFIP) 14th in K/9 6th in IP. Both very bad but one wonders if the bullpen was affected by overwork. In any event, we need lots of help.

    In fairness, I did say 2019 season, not next season ;-)

    Trump nominates a guy for the Federal bench who has only practiced law for three years and has never even tried a case or presented a motion.

    I don't remember Griffey Jr's defense failing until he was in his late 20s/early 30s. So like 9, 10 years of awesome. My memory must be failing me.
  20. jimmer
    hope they don't do THAT!
  21. jimmer
    Yes, as is said in the OP, defense peaks earlier, but his speed is so ridiculous that even as he starts to slow, he'll still be like a blur out there. His routes might get even better as his experience builds which would help offset the loss of speed.
  22. jimmer
    I believe Buxton this year was better than we ever saw from Hunter, who was certainly an awesome defender himself.
  23. jimmer
    Buxton is defensively awesome, absolutely. He had the most DRS of any CF and the 2nd most of any OF. I love watching him play D, but I still think the best defender in the game this year was Andrelton Simmons. Probably the best defensive SS since Ozzie Smith.
  24. jimmer
    Twins are not a small market team. Maybe compared to Boston
  25. jimmer
    I want May as a starter, myself.
