    Please sign a real SS and let Polanco play second. Arreaz can play third and suddenly we have some infield defense
  2. Linus
    No to Wisler and Harper. If either start the year in the pen the FO has failed
  3. Linus
    The window will be as open as the quality of their starting rotation. And please no more quotes from Falvine about their grand plans. Let’s start judging this situation by action not talk
  4. Linus
    Going forward?
  5. Linus
    If we take that contract in full then Boston is sending us a decent prospect. This is the way I would do it.
  6. Linus
    I don’t think Sano has as much trade value as people think. He is trending towards being a sub par 1st baseman or DH. There are plenty of Cron types who can provide value at a fraction of the cost
  7. Linus
    There is no cookie cutter model. It all boils down to a FO making good decisions. Whether that is letting a free agent walk or trading a top prospect or not.
  8. Linus
    I would grab walker now so we don’t get shutout and then starting working the phones for a real upgrade
  9. Linus
    Well stated. That’s why the whole “we will trade for someone” is not nearly as easy as it sounds
  10. Linus
    “We were in on....”
  11. Linus
    Buxton or Berrios. Berrios just needs a little better command and he can be a legit ace. I think Buxton is one of those guys that needs a little extra time to get it and when that happens all the skills will come out.
  12. Linus
    Potentially yes. Will never be a loss because we didn’t give up anything but IMO it can’t be a win until Smeltzer or Raley do something significant
  13. Linus
    Those trades are wins? With the exception of the Pressly trade which was / is an abomination those trades aren’t losses either but let’s take the Twins colored glasses off
  14. Linus
    Exactly. The chronological date of the off season doesn’t matter. It’s what good players are left. By that measure the off season is coming to a close
  15. Linus
    I have no problem if the FO doesn’t wade into free agency. It’s not a good long term plan. But then they have to spend their other currency which is prospects. Trade assets you do have for assets you don’t have. Unfortunately they don’t seem to be comfortable doing that either which is not good
  16. Linus
    Please no. Sign a pitcher and trade for another. Then sign a good defensive SS and your whole infield is better
  17. Linus
    Going into the season with two open spots for the rookies. With the exception of Graterol the most likely outcome for the rest of those guys is AAAA shuttle back and forth guys
  18. Linus
    This is not a plan for a team that is serious about winning in the playoffs. They have a couple more years with Buxton Sano and Berrios so I would hope they do something
  19. Linus
    Probably a wash. Littel gives us some usefulness short term but nothing to write home about
  20. Linus
    Busted-I thought of that after I hit reply. I do have concerns about his injury history however.
  21. Linus
    I’m not disappointed that we didn’t get Bumgarner and won’t be if we don’t get Ryu simply because I don’t think they are that good anymore. We do need another pitcher so the onus is on Falvine to get it done a different way
  22. Linus
    I don’t think you “get” an ace other than the Yankees buying one. I think you have to add as much pitching talent as possible and hope an ace emerges
  23. Linus
    This. I hope this is the path they take. Forget about third baseman
  24. Linus
    I would do that deal in a heartbeat which means it ain’t happening
  25. Linus
    If you aren’t signing a good starter trade for a good SS and skip this fascination with 3rd base a much lesser important defensive position
