Twins Daily 2022 Awards: Most Valuable Player
Linus replied to Nick Nelson's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
I love Arreaz but the MVP has to be Correa and it ain’t even close. Arreaz does one thing really well - Correa does everything really well.- 33 replies

Twins Daily 2022 Awards: Rookie of the Year
Linus replied to Nick Nelson's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
The guy was phenomenal. Most people think about his velocity but he has 3 good pitches and he commands them all. The other thing is he consistently drew the toughest situations and still put up these numbers.- 19 replies

Should The Twins Look to Upgrade From Kyle Garlick?
Linus replied to Cody Pirkl's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Definitely need to target a really good right handed outfielder in free agency. Hopefully one that plays good enough defense that they could slide over to CF occasionally. If they can’t find a good defender then Max becomes the backup CF. If he complains about it, trade him. Oh and no more Celestino. I am done with boneheads that can’t hit cutoff men, throw to the wrong base and are clueless on the bases. This club needs a wake up call.- 43 replies

The Weirdest Move Minnesota Could Make

This. He has stuff, hell so does Megill. What neither have is command which is WAY more important than stuff- 56 replies

Review the Debuts: Twins Rookie Pitchers
Linus replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
This list shows how silly it is to list a bunch of prospects and expect that they will all become major leaguers. Duran was outstanding and one of the few bright spots of the season. The rest of them who knows, especially Winder and Sands who are older do not have dominant stuff and have shown next to nothing in the big leagues.- 31 replies

Minnesota’s competition for Correa? That implies the Twins will be in there trying to out bid other teams. I got a good chuckle out of that one.

Regarding the title of this piece: cleaning up this 40 man will not be much work at all. DFA candidates all over the place.

How Can Rocco Baldelli Regain Twins Fans Favor?
Linus replied to Ted Schwerzler 's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
It doesn’t matter. Rocco is doing exactly what Falvine wants him to do. They are a package deal so get ready for more of the same until we have a different front office.- 147 replies

The shoulder injuries with Mahle and Winder are most concerning. That generally doesn’t bode well long term. In the big picture Kiriloff is the greatest concern in that he could be an elite player. The other guys not so much.

Jordan Balazovic Ends Season on a High Note
Linus replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Minor League Talk
You have to keep him on the 40 man just to see what’s on the other side but he’s way more of a suspect than prospect at this point. -

Great to see Ryan finish the season strong and healthy. He’s fun to watch because he generally throws strikes and the game moves along.

Contemplating Max Kepler's Future
Linus replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
I would bring him back as he would not bring much in trade. However playing time would be an open competition with Wallner et al and I would also tell him he is the new back up CF whether he likes it or not. This would bring value to the club. -
Yea I missed this as I turned it off after Gordon’s bonehead running play. Glad to see it although it’s about 3 months late. I’m thinking Celestino might not be the sharpest knife in the drawer.

4 Reasons the 2022 Season is More Frustrating Than 2021
Linus replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
My frustration for this year is two fold: our FO sat out a robust free agent pitching market and put all their chips on the vaunted pitching pipeline. Of course it was a disaster and torpedoed what could have been a good season. Second is the complete lack of fundamentals this team displays. Sloppy play almost every game and in all facets. This has to be addressed before next year.- 36 replies

SWR has had a very good season. Consistent performance across AA and AAA and good health. He’s quickly running out of things to prove in the minors.

Five Worst Developments for the Minnesota Twins in 2022
Linus replied to Ted Schwerzler 's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Has to be the FO sitting out the most robust free agent pitching market watching their pitching degrade into a shot show and then being forced to give up valuable prospects to try and fix the original problem. Who is honestly surprised that Joe Smith wasn’t great or Gary Sanchez can’t catch?- 33 replies

Agreed. Prospects are nice because they provide hope. It seems that is what most people consider. If you look at things objectively it is a completely different story. I think Enlow is in this category. Last year I posted skepticism about Balazovic and received much push back from many posters. Objectively he was wildly inconsistent at AA and really struggled at times. There was nothing in his performance that screamed top prospect. And there you have it.

Yankees 5, Twins 2: Judge Homer Beats Twins
