    All of this. And he's a moron if he believes a reporter could and or should set up a meeting between 45 and the CBC. He has staff to do that. Get Bannon to do it after he takes off his white pointed hood.

    Baby Trump will only take questions from conservative media. Frakin coward!

    I like how just last Friday Trump said he was unaware of a report that the DOJ had warned the White House about Flynns contact with Russians. And yet his spokesman said the White House had been 'reviewing and evaluating" Flynns situation for a few weeks trying to ascertain the truth.

    except none of those guys you listed for the Twins sat top 2 for 3 years straight years, and I'm not sure any of them have to prove anything, at least not nationally. Its pretty clear what type of players they are. From a national media/fan base point of view, who has high expectations of any of the players you listed besides Dozier who has been good for a few years now and has just been noticed/talked about nationally because of trade rumors? Now, if this was written by a Twins beat writer writing for Twins fans looking at Twins fans expectations, maybe it is different. Maybe. But nationally, there are no expectations from Vargas. I imagine most baseball fans dont even know who he is. At this point, might be able to say the same thing about Gibson. And Hughes, Im not sure anyone but Twins fans has had an expectations of him since we got him. Additionally, while Buxton is young, he is/was the hot shot prospect and he is older than Seager and Correa, only a month younger than Lindor and like 8 months younger than Thor. Those guys are already established. Whether some like it or not, being as highky ranked as Buxton has been creates serious expectations for some. I also do not believe a baseball players' prime is in your 30s. Not even sure where that belief comes from.

    not sure that is important to the overall point. But sure. If they wrote that he had been in the top two the last three years by BA,MLB and BP, it would have been accurate, but really not change the point which is, I believe, he really needs to prove he is the star so many thought he would be.

    On ESPN site, there is an article about a player from each team having something to prove. From our team, its Buxton. 'Just a couple seasons ago, Buxton was the consensus top prospect in baseball, rated ahead of rising superstars such as Kris Bryant, Carlos Correa, Francisco Lindor, Noah Syndergard and Corey Seager' Man, what a list.

    http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/black-plastic-covers-windows-blocking-reporters-views-of-trump-golfing/ar-AAmPE76?li=BBnb7Kz Why do I imagine that Trump will tell us he had 18 hole in ones?
  12. jimmer
    yeah, I want higher OBP guys getting more PAs not less.

    With Target Field bought and paid for mostly by taxpayers, Twins are worth a huge amount. Forbes has the value at 910M and Marlins at 675.

    My quote was about Park and Vargas. I'm all for keeping Grossman for DH.
  17. jimmer
    I sometimes wonder why anyone who has watched these two play feel otherwise?
  18. jimmer
    Have to have a manager who can get his players to buy into a philosophy. It also helps having players that seem at least competent to fill in while the bigger name players are sitting.
  19. jimmer
    In 2015, he had a higher OPS against lefties than righties (barely). But yeah, he should sit against lefties. It's time. Then he's available for pinch hitting when a righty is brought in.
  20. jimmer
    Certainly.
  21. jimmer
    Maybe what happened last year when he started 125 games

    I sometimes laugh when I think about what Ryan would have done with the 23M a year contract Mauer gets that has been holding this team back. I imagine we'd have a team payroll around 87M instead of 97M, with 13M a year split between a utility IF type who would be starting for us and a #5 starter(like we don't have enough of those). His payroll hasn't been hampering us and we haven't developed anyone better than him yet. We certainly wouldn't have paid for anyone better either.

    The Young Pope has been good. Not great, but worth watching just for Law's fantastic portrayal. Not sure I'll watch a season two, if it gets one.

    Wow! The 'Legion' pilot was awesome. It was weird (which I like) and a bit confusing (which makes sense when dealing with a character that has multiple personalities). Well written and VERY well acted.
