    I get your point but I think the question is very different for Lee compared to Martin. Martin has had some success at AAA which as you point out all he can do. Lee has not to date and isn’t worth burning the 40 man spot and option.
  2. Linus
    As noted above it will be very interesting to see how far they let the starters go. The rotation is this team’s greatest strength and the bullpen its biggest weakness. I hope they have faith in the starters.
  3. Linus
    This rotation is historically strong. It likely means we will be in every game and might even steal one of Lopez twirls a gem. We will see if we can score some runs. I also think it will be interesting to watch our new bullpen and how guys like Varland and Paddack are used compared to Jax and Pagan.
  4. Linus
    Noticed that as well. I kind of think it is a coin flip between Maeda Ryan and Ober. Maedas bullpen success was many years ago so I don’t think we should assume similar performance but it would be nice.
  5. Linus
    I think there is a decent chance Lewis is your CF next year. Problem solved. Julien dh and I’m not worried about Martin or Gordon. They can fit in wherever. Build your lineup by putting yours studs at their best defensive positions and fill in the rest.
  6. Linus
    He’s not really looking like an attractive 4th outfielder and he does make a ton of mistakes on the bases and in the field.

    Like always it seems with this FO I see this as a mixed bag. If we are talking about strictly the trade deadline then I guess they were right. On the other hand it took 3 rookies coming up and firing right out of the gate to rescue the poor lineup of the first have. I would say that’s damn lucky but then again they drafted and developed those three rookies. With better management in the off season we wouldn’t even be asking the question.
  8. Linus
    I bet it will be third base with Royce playing second or CF.
  9. Linus
    A little harsh but true. There isn’t a lot of upside with Celestino and the 40 man spot might be needed. That was a bad trade.
  10. Linus
    Buxtons likely role will be dh against a lefty and pinch hitter. Much rather have him doing that than Luplow.
  11. Linus
    It won’t be a problem at all.
  12. Linus
    We do realize that Duran has been one of the top relievers in baseball for two years right?
  13. Linus
    Congratulations to the team and more importantly the fans. I’m going to enjoy this for a day or two and then come back to reality. Which is we slid into the easiest playoff spot possible. Enjoy the playoffs and then expect our FO to do substantially better next year.
  14. Linus
    Without having too much info…but it seems like he may not be above average at any position. Kind of like if you have two quarterbacks you actually have no quarterbacks. I like guys to settle in their best defensive position and get good at it.
  15. Linus
    Kenta would take the QO in a heartbeat. I can’t see anyone offering a contract through his age 39 season.
  16. Linus
    I think Gray will get a better contract than those guys. I’m guessing 3 years $60 million.
  17. Linus
    I want to bring Maeda back but he isn’t going to get the QO. He would probably get about $12 million a year for two years.
  18. Linus
    There is a reason to doubt every prospect. They are all suspects until they are not.
  19. Linus
    So creamed corn?
  20. Linus
    Has to be Gray or Lopez. Castro has been great in his role. If I was giving it to a position player it would be Jeffers. I can’t believe I am saying this because the guy drove me nuts last year. His improvement this year is nothing short of remarkable.
  21. Linus
    I think the biggest factor was Joe had been swinging like that since he was 5. Not that easy to change after all those years especially because it served him very well until analytics exposed his patterns
  22. Linus
    Here. That’s why I posted the question-just don’t seem to get much clear info on what his best position might be.
  23. Linus
    I’m definitely happy with Royce as he has the skills and charisma to be a generational player. There is a lot to like about Hunter Greene. He is way more than velo. Nice breaking ball and ok change with pretty solid mechanics. Plus he’s a big strong dude. Both teams will be happy to have each player for a long time.
  24. Linus
    Wallner takes his helmet off more than any player I’ve seen.
  25. Linus
    I believe the Twins lead the universe in taking called strike 3.
