    Well they are all getting judged all the time so there is that.
  2. Linus
    Don’t judge any of these people by what they say rather by what they do. So far that is nothing. Zero. Nada. Zilch.
  3. Linus
    This is a problem of organizational philosophy. The FO constructed this lineup with that in mind so you can fire anyone you want and it won’t matter. Their only hope is if Polo Buck and C4 catch fire. This is just another vote of no confidence in this FO. They made the blunder but will stick with their models telling them we will score runs.

    Here is what I would try. Kepler plays CF and no Max I don’t care if you like it. Call up Wallner to play right I would also hold my nose and put Julien at third when Polanco comes back. Lastly Jeffers starts two thirds of the games. Ultimately Correa and Buck have to get hot.

    Like the pick. Upside!
  6. Linus
    Loved the first two picks but not this one. No upside here with a pick that high that probably ends up being a utility infielder. Take a shot at a high school pitcher. They are both likely to never see the bigs but get a guy that has a chance at some upside.
  7. Linus
    Pleasantly surprised Falvine just made the obvious correct move. Thought for sure we would get an over think and take a guy for under slot money.
  8. Linus
    At what point will the FO do something? Seriously what has to happen for them to say this isn’t working and we are wasting the best starting rotation in decades? Apparently they will still stick with their projections which at this point are laughable.
  9. Linus
    I’m not a fan of our FO but nobody would have traded Miranda instead of Steer one year ago.
  10. Linus
    At this point the most valuable aspect of the trade was not giving Berrios $130 million. Another option was to hang onto Berrios and take the comp pick after he walked.

    Culpepper is starting to get interesting …..
  12. Linus
    The analytics genius that has Duran throwing his curve and split more than his fastball needs to go. Did we notice how Bautista did it? Pure gas to set up the breaking ball.
  13. Linus
    That’s crazy. Polo has been about the Twins best player over the last several years and has the best chance of jump starting this lineup. Not to mention Julien is the lead in the anvil chorus. He is one of the worst defenders to be brought up in a long while.
  14. Linus
    That’s why he is worth a look at first but …. That’s why I wouldn’t hesitate to trade him. He has a better chance at first than Miranda if that is any consolation.
  15. Linus
    He’s a butcher in the field and we already have a dh. I do wish they would give him reps at first but apparently that isn’t happening.
  16. Linus
    The better question is what is so good about Max Kepler? He is a defense first player playing an offense first position. The corner OF spots are the only places to change in order to shake up this offense. And it’s not Maxs fault. The FO has failed to find a better replacement.
  17. Linus
    The problem with Miranda (and Julien) is they can’t field. That means they have to hit at a very high level to be a dedicated DH. I don’t see either doing that so they would be my bait at the trade deadline.
  18. Linus
    This is not a complaint rather a request. When writing these profiles please include other facets of his play besides hitting. In this case it would be nice to know if he is a reach to stay in center arm strength etc.
  19. Linus
    He is a unicorn in that typically guys that tall throw hard and struggle with control. Ober doesn’t throw overly hard but has darn good control. He is my favorite Twins pitcher along with Ryan because he attacks the hitters. Some of our pitchers are nibblers like they are afraid of the hitter but not Ober.
  20. Linus
    I find articles like this to be somewhat pointless. None of us knows what goes on in the clubhouse so it’s pretty impossible to assess his leadership or lack thereof. His hands are somewhat tied because it’s clear the FO sets the roster so he can’t just ship Kepler off to Siberia and there are so few bench players benching guys really isn’t an option anymore.
  21. Linus
    He’s been what you could reasonably expect. Better than last year for sure. I don’t like the fit for him with the Twins but that is on the FO not the player.
  22. Linus
    He will get some good rest and a break. Better for the Twins.
  23. Linus
    Don’t think Ober has to worry about going to St Paul anymore. Man it’s fun to watch pitchers who pound the strike zone.
  24. Linus
    They have a player development problem. If you look realistically at what they have done it’s almost nothing in 7 years. This excludes trades.
  25. Linus
    It appears that the players want to lead the hitting meetings. The optics on this aren’t good as Popkins just got sent to the corner. And it took the players to do something not the manager or front office?
