    Ahhh…..the infamous pivot. The signature move of the Twins. No tap dancing just the quick pivot. They are so adept they can pivot to the right and they can pivot to the left. At this point it’s choreographed into a slick dance move swallowed whole by their fans. Sad truth is that the pivot is only used to avoid onrushing opportunities.

    Who cares. The alternative is watching the Pohlad family count their money. I want Rodon and the risk more than I want a $120 million payroll.
  3. Linus
    And we have no idea what his role was. How about the more pertinent information that under his watch the Twins have been miserable at developing homegrown pitching talent. It’s no coincidence that all our best pitchers were obtained via trade.

    Does anybody want Falvine overseeing a rebuild? If they start dumping people the FO needs to go with them.
  5. Linus
    The idea that Falvey oversaw Carrascos growth is pretty laughable at this point. Why does this notion keep getting repeated?

    If you think signing Correa was risky then signing Swanson is a real doozy. Some team is gonna rue the day they signed him.
  7. Linus
    You are spot on about last year. I’m not saying they are going to do what I suggested rather that is what I would do. I wanted Haniger but they were distracted by Correa. I would take Wil Myers. I know that’s not great but this is the situation we are in.
  8. Linus
    Sign Eovaldi or Rodon. Sign two stud relievers and get a right handed hitting outfielder. I’m happy they signed Vasquez as that was a must. point of clarification I liked Correa and would love it they would sign and take the steps I listed. I have zero confidence that would have happened.
  9. Linus
    I’m happy we didn’t sign him. Now we can build a team which they wouldn’t do if they signed Correa. What’s weird is that the FO thought they were going to sign him for less than $300 million. That’s delusional. As soon as Seager signed his contract you knew it was going way past that number.

    Huge blessing in disguise. Stay far away from Swanson as well - one decent year at the plate. The Twins now have a chance to build the best TEAM which was never gonna happen if they signed Correa. sign Evoldi plus two stud relievers and wil Myers. I’m also willing to wait for Lewis. He was the first overall pick let’s see what we got once and for all. If you sign these players and get some luck on the health front the Twins could do damage.

    Just saw that Hicks is hitting 211 over last two years. Had no idea he fell off so dramatically.
  12. Linus
    I think there is merit to this idea. Let him hit mostly right handed and he surely would be a good defender in the corner spots.
  13. Linus
    Love this move. IMO catching was our greatest position player need. Now sign a stud reliever and get a good right handed hitting outfielder and we will be close.
  14. Linus
    This is the point. He’s not much better than Farmer and we can’t trade our way out of this mess. The farm has already taken a hit.
  15. Linus
    The point is he doesn’t have to make it through a whole season to be worth his salary. If and when he does he will be vastly underpaid. Last year he paid for his salary by mid May.
  16. Linus
    I pay attention to zips projections the same amount as framing numbers.
  17. Linus
    This is why you add free agent talent when it is available because some years like this year there simple is very little. We sat out last year when there were many good pitchers available and now we need a starter and they are not there.
  18. Linus
    I love watching Arreaz hit but he literally is a one trick pony He does that one thing very well but really has no other tools. His peak value is right now not because he won’t continue to be a good player but is likely to remain really good at one thing while getting more expensive every year. Trade sometimes is as much about how much the player is making as performance. I would not advocate trading him for an average pitcher but if you can add another prospect and get a potential #1 starter you have to do it.
  19. Linus
    It’s Uufda. This type of mistake could result in a Viking rage.
  20. Linus
    I’m generally with Mike Link in that I think it is most important to build the best overall team. Coming into the off-season I wanted upgrades at SS catcher a right hand hitting outfielder a starter and stud reliever. I would move on all areas and if there isn’t enough money for CC then so be it. I am not interested in Swanson as a fallback. I like the glove but the bat isn’t good enough for a mega deal. Lewis was the #1 over all pick. He’s worth a shot.
  21. Linus
    This is a good point. Right field in target field is tricky. Max handles it well probably substantially better than whoever fills in for him if he plays center. The hitting …..
  22. Linus
    Well Lee and Lewis is most of the quality left on the farm. If I’m pushing all in it sure isn’t for a corner outfielder.
  23. Linus
    I was all in on adding a starter but this is nuts. Rodon is a great fit for the twins but 7 years is nuts. They should now get two quality relievers and add the innings thru the pen. Oh yea more pitching changes. I also agree with doc on adding a right handed hitting outfielder.
  24. Linus
    If Arreaz gets Lopez I would do it. I like Arreaz but pitching is always the trump card.
  25. Linus
    They have to get someone and there ain’t much left.
