    And what would you like Wallner to do show he deserves a shot?
  2. Linus
    This is rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. No way they pick up $3 million for this guy.
  3. Linus
    As does Buxton. I wish posters would stop with this nonsense.
  4. Linus
    I’ve had similar thoughts. One difference is the overall athletic ability of each player. Royce will likely improve wherever they play him but Julien just doesn’t have it.
  5. Linus
    Baseball is a funny game. Our bullpen frequently implodes even when we only need a couple of innings. They roll out the whole pen in this game and they are nearly perfect. Might be time for Headrick to get a real shot at a permanent spot not just the shuttle.

    Would be fun to watch him pitch but he has a long way to go.
  7. Linus
    I have no idea. All I know is that whenever I watch him he makes all the plays he should along with some he shouldn’t. Having to start on the dirt probably restricts his range. I would pay money just to watch the man throw. His arm strength is obvious but he is also incredibly accurate. That’s a combination not often seen.

    This. The starters have been great but they aren’t going to be perfect. Sonny needs to be way more efficient than 97 pitches to get through 4. The real problem is the pen. The FO really needs to be accountable for this mess.

    I feel they are better defensively this year. Jeffers has improved behind the plate and Miranda and Celestino aren’t playing which helps a bunch. About the only poor fielder they are rolling out there is Julien and that is only because Polanco is hurt.
  10. Linus
    Tough call. When healthy he is far better than any other potential replacement. I also think it’s not accurate to say we have Lee Julien and Martin to take his place. Julien is a dh Martin completely unproven and Lee still needs development.
  11. Linus
    I didn’t say anything about the eye test. When you don’t get results it’s time to ask why. They show little inclination to do that in many facets of the game.
  12. Linus
    What this thread really reveals is that this front office sucks at building bullpens. They have their beloved “process” that produces poor results but that doesn’t matter because the “process” was good.
  13. Linus
    This. There is no point in extending him unless he signs for virtually nothing. The original problems were with shoulder which is even more ominous than elbow problems. Move on-trade didn’t work-it happens.
  14. Linus
    I’ve been skeptical of defensive stats since Josh Willingham had better defensive numbers than Torii Hunter. I guess I’m ant-intellectual. Some above made the best observation: the Twins haven’t developed any outfielders good enough to take his place during his tenure. That’s not good.
  15. Linus
    What is the scouting report on Camargos defense? Do we suddenly have a legit catching prospect?
  16. Linus
    Just make the plays in the field and we win even with Pagan pitching. Julien is a DH. We seem to have several players that profile similarly.
  17. Linus
    I for one hope there was tension there. The Twins are fundamentally poor and nothing seems to be done about it. I think I like Rocco but he has to be part of the blame for the Twins playing like rock heads most of the time especially on the base.
  18. Linus
    Gallo goes on a rehab assignment but Kepler does not. Interesting.
  19. Linus
    So many players playing well at AAA? Plethora of live arms in St Paul? I think you need to slow the roll a little. Wallner has earned a shot. Headrick deserves another look. Julien maybe should get a couple DH at bats. That’s it. The good news is Lewis and Kiriloff are already here so the transition to a younger different lineup has already begun.
  20. Linus
    I see lots of let the young guys play comments on these boards. As Gleeman would say what are we even talking about here? Everyone can agree that Wallner should be up. Then who are these marvelous young players people are clamoring for? Ed Julien can’t carry Polanco jock. Miranda is scuffling. Martin is rehabbing and hasn’t proven anything. Brooks Lee? 50 decent games at AA and we are calling him up? The cupboard is pretty empty on the farm. Besides their two best young hitters are Kiriloff and Lewis and both are here.
  21. Linus
    Especially now that the IL is 10 days. Probably should have put both Buck and CC on the IL right away. Give them a chance to recuperate.
  22. Linus
    Is that where their second baseman plays? 😂
  23. Linus
    Here is a different angle that results in the same answer. This lineup needs a jolt. If you are going to make a change to provide said jolt who are you going to change? Max is it
  24. Linus
    One trade isn’t fixing this lineup. The guys that are supposed to hit need to hit or they are done. I would get Wallner up here right away. Don’t know if he is the answer but it’s time to find out.
  25. Linus
    That list, other than Headrick is depressing. If any of those guys pitch for the Twins something will have gone very wrong.
