    If Arreaz gets Lopez I would do it. I like Arreaz but pitching is always the trump card.
  2. Linus
    They have to get someone and there ain’t much left.
  3. Linus
    Disagree. They need to add 120 innings plus of good pitching so those were viable targets. Haniger was the best choice to add a right handed outfielder and Josh Bell was a great fit at DH. They could get the innings by adding two bullpen arms better than Jax but they don’t do that either.
  4. Linus
    Don’t look now but what we feared might be happening. Haniger has signed along with several of the better pitchers. Signing Correa would be fun but this team has holes in addition to SS.

    Hendricks contract has no surplus value. He’s not worth a legit major league player.
  6. Linus
    Celestino winder and sands have little value in a trade for a really good big leaguer. There are literally dozens of players like them out there.
  7. Linus
    Yea I’m not a huge Celestino fan for many of the reasons listed above. And he might be the worst base runner I’ve seen in recent memory. He throws to wrong base, misses cut off men and generally looks like his head is too frequently not in the game.
  8. Linus
    Count them up. Here is a list of elite prospects: Lee Lewis E Rod. Good prospects might include Julien and SWR and Martin. This trade would require 3 of the six. What are you left with? A bunch of guys who profile as marginal big leaguers.
  9. Linus
    This is not happening for the Twins. Don’t look now but the Twins are one major trade like this (if it is all prospects) from having a pretty barren farm system.
  10. Linus
    No argument there but there is another option. They could go and sign um an actual good reliever. If they won’t then that is on the FO.
  11. Linus
    The only thing wrong with Joe Ryan is our expectations. He’s a solid middle to back of the rotation guy and that is just fine. Did you think we were getting Verlander for two months of Nelson Cruz?
  12. Linus
    I agree. Its one way to increase parity by giving blocked players a chance.
  13. Linus
    No way do you just pencil him in. He has promise but has proven nothing. He’s depth right now and will surely get a chance by the end of the season.
  14. Linus
    If Andrew Heaney is the best we can get then the FO needs to go immediately and the Pohlads need to sell. How have we got to a point that we expect so little?
  15. Linus
    No way it takes Lee and Duran. But it is going to take Lee and another good piece.
  16. Linus
    We’d be betting on their ability to develop cost - efficient pitching. Since they really haven’t shown the ability to do that I’m not taking that bet.
  17. Linus
    I have no idea. What I do know is that I will judge him by what he does, not what he says. Jim Pohlad was great at mouthing platitudes that meant nothing.
  18. Linus
    Sorry but he’s never really been that good. If he was a 12th round pick we wouldn’t even be talking about him
  19. Linus
    I’m sorry we are out of stock on damaged goods pitchers. The Minnesota ball club cleaned us out. We can put you on a waiting list if you would like.
  20. Linus
    I absolutely hear what you are saying and largely agree with it. But my next question is what are we going to do? Stand pat with an average rotation? What do we do after next year when we can lose Gray and Mahle?
  21. Linus
    Toronto wouldn’t even pick up the phone for that deal.
  22. Linus
    I read a similar article in the Athletic and there were several other teams that could top any Twins offer. The Twins fired their trade bullets at the last trade deadline. The only guys they have left are Lewis or Lee which ain’t gonna happen.
  23. Linus
    There is no doubt spending big on free agent pitching is a monetary risk. Never investing top dollars or high picks in pitching reduces your monetary risk but makes your performance risk sky rocket. The only way the Twins method works is if you get really good at developing your own pitching. The Twins haven’t done that and show no signs of being able to do it.
  24. Linus
    “High level talent”. Sorry I’m not seeing that - I see a group of oft injured number 3 starters. The “if everything goes perfectly we will be good” plan never works. Sign some pitchers.
  25. Linus
    Nope. I love Luis but he needs to be traded for the best pitcher they can get. They have a ton of options at first second and third. Use the expendable asset to get a good pitcher.
