    A huge factor in all these decisions is are the Twins really trying to win? Several roster decisions will be different if you are going to try and make the playoffs next year compared to build for 27/28.
  2. Linus
    Thanks for the update. I was hoping for that kind of move - don’t know if there is an equivalent out there now. The Twins just don’t seem to have the insight or courage to strike when they need to.
  3. Linus
    What happened to Bryce Eldridge? At one point he looked like the type of player the Twins should target.
  4. Linus
    I’m sure the new hire will have new ideas and theories. The question is how much authority will he have to make changes (I hope he does). The Twins have been pretty rigid in their org philosophies during the Falvey era so, to me, it’s an important question.
  5. Linus
    There are several players in the “locked in” group that should be on the bubble. When you perform as the Twins have the last few years there better be change.

    Natural maturation as a young male. I’m sure he won’t try and bulk up but I bet he isn’t 215 a year from now.
  7. Linus
    Unfortunately, this is likely correct.
  8. Linus
    My bigger concern isn’t 2028 specifically rather the overall poor level of pitching in the farm system. The cupboard is bare.

    A TD special - humor articles that aren’t funny. I would put your time and effort into the real baseball stories and not waste it here.
  10. Linus
    The premise of the article confuses me. What does Prielipp, Jenkins and Rojas have to do with Lewis. The first three are rookies who are just getting their feet wet. There are a whole bunch of mediocre vets that need to step it up a lot more than three young guys who did fine in their first taste of the bigs.
  11. Linus
    Jenkins is already a big guy and he is only 21. He is likely to add more muscle which probably means he will not be getting any faster. I also noticed that his jumps and routes in CF were inconsistent. I think he will be a fine corner outfield but will not be plus in CF.
  12. Linus
    Isn’t there a Director of Pitching role (Josh Kalk?) that oversees the entire pitching program? My point is a new pitching coach is not the new boss of the organizations pitching philosophy. He’s going to abide by the framework already in place. They’ve done this on the hitting side already - bring in a new guy but make him coach within the existing philosophy. I believe the organizational frameworks are an issue and will continue to be unless Zoll changes them regardless of who the pitching or hitting coach is.

    He’s definitely older - school. Benching guys that don’t hustle, leaving relievers in because they are pitching well, not managing the game strictly by right / left.
  14. Linus
    The Brewers bullpen doesn’t resemble the Twins bullpen.
  15. Linus
    I really enjoy the old school organ at Dodger Stadium. One small hint at baseball’s rich history.
  16. Linus
    I want some of what Krukow is smoking 😀. Both Brooks and Taj were worthy. Little less impressed with Gomez as he kind of tip toed through a minefield the second half. We may have seen the best of him. I think Brooks and Taj have another level in them. Taj by adding a little better command and Brooks with better swing decisions.
  17. Linus
    The phrase “clear improvement” is the key here. Bohm doesn’t meet that standard. I bet he and Royce put up similar numbers next year. Get Bauers or trade for a young player just ready for the bigs.
  18. Linus
    Interesting- you could win a bar bet or two on more balls being hit to right.
  19. Linus
    Plus the guy is a horse. Looks like an old school pitcher that can throw a bunch of innings.
  20. Linus
    I would have went with Taj but Keaschall is fine too. His offensive profile is really important for the Twins. Regarding his best defensive fit there has to be a reason they put him in right instead of left. Perhaps he is more used to the spin of the ball off the bat playing the right side of the field? Or are there significantly fewer balls hit to RF compared to LF? I believe the only comment by a Twins official is Shelton saying he didn’t want to mess with Larnach by moving him around which is bizarre (and I don’t believe it).
  21. Linus
    Brew Crew can play some defense. Chourio swing reminds me of K Culpepper. Oh and David Ortiz is a complete waste on TV.
  22. Linus
    Stone tablets?
  23. Linus
    I would like to join the roundtable as well but as Mark Twain once said “I refuse to be a part of any club that would have me”.
  24. Linus
    Congratulations to Brooks. He adapted really well after the switch from SS. Hopefully this is the start of strong infield defense.
  25. Linus
    Fingers crossed. I think the Twins need to talk Johan Santana into showing up for spring training and teaching nothing but his change up.
