    Like the pick. Upside!
  2. Linus
    Loved the first two picks but not this one. No upside here with a pick that high that probably ends up being a utility infielder. Take a shot at a high school pitcher. They are both likely to never see the bigs but get a guy that has a chance at some upside.
  3. Linus
    Pleasantly surprised Falvine just made the obvious correct move. Thought for sure we would get an over think and take a guy for under slot money.
  4. Linus
    At what point will the FO do something? Seriously what has to happen for them to say this isn’t working and we are wasting the best starting rotation in decades? Apparently they will still stick with their projections which at this point are laughable.
  5. Linus
    I’m not a fan of our FO but nobody would have traded Miranda instead of Steer one year ago.
  6. Linus
    At this point the most valuable aspect of the trade was not giving Berrios $130 million. Another option was to hang onto Berrios and take the comp pick after he walked.

    Culpepper is starting to get interesting …..
  8. Linus
    The analytics genius that has Duran throwing his curve and split more than his fastball needs to go. Did we notice how Bautista did it? Pure gas to set up the breaking ball.
  9. Linus
    The better question is what is so good about Max Kepler? He is a defense first player playing an offense first position. The corner OF spots are the only places to change in order to shake up this offense. And it’s not Maxs fault. The FO has failed to find a better replacement.
  10. Linus
    This is not a complaint rather a request. When writing these profiles please include other facets of his play besides hitting. In this case it would be nice to know if he is a reach to stay in center arm strength etc.
  11. Linus
    I find articles like this to be somewhat pointless. None of us knows what goes on in the clubhouse so it’s pretty impossible to assess his leadership or lack thereof. His hands are somewhat tied because it’s clear the FO sets the roster so he can’t just ship Kepler off to Siberia and there are so few bench players benching guys really isn’t an option anymore.
  12. Linus
    He’s been what you could reasonably expect. Better than last year for sure. I don’t like the fit for him with the Twins but that is on the FO not the player.
  13. Linus
    He will get some good rest and a break. Better for the Twins.
  14. Linus
    Don’t think Ober has to worry about going to St Paul anymore. Man it’s fun to watch pitchers who pound the strike zone.
  15. Linus
    They have a player development problem. If you look realistically at what they have done it’s almost nothing in 7 years. This excludes trades.
  16. Linus
    It appears that the players want to lead the hitting meetings. The optics on this aren’t good as Popkins just got sent to the corner. And it took the players to do something not the manager or front office?
  17. Linus
    It’s not going to get any better. This is the lineup the FO compiled and there isn’t really any changing it. Polo healthy would help and Wallner deserves a shot. After that the cupboard is bare. Larnach can’t hit anything offspeed and Miranda and Julien are DHs. Who else is there? Anybody have confidence in this FO making the right decisions at the trade deadline? They do not deserve the chance to start over. They’ve tanked the farm system and compiled an aging roster that can’t hit or run and is mediocre at best in the field.
  18. Linus
    I would add the Pressly trade for sure. We gave up a year and a half of a scarce commodity for essentially nothing. I think the Berrios trade is going to end badly. Should have kept him for another year and a half and gotten a comp pick. My prediction is that neither SWR or Martin do much in the big leagues.
  19. Linus
    Click bait.
  20. Linus
    Another aspect of this could be too much information. The hitting coaches might be setting up plans that are too rigid. It seems like our hitters are locked into looking for certain pitches in certain counts. If they get a different pitch than what the game plan predicted they are screwed which is why we see so many strikeouts looking. Essentially we’ve got an entire team of guess hitters.
  21. Linus
    And what would you like Wallner to do show he deserves a shot?
  22. Linus
    This is rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. No way they pick up $3 million for this guy.
  23. Linus
    As does Buxton. I wish posters would stop with this nonsense.
  24. Linus
    I’ve had similar thoughts. One difference is the overall athletic ability of each player. Royce will likely improve wherever they play him but Julien just doesn’t have it.
  25. Linus
    Baseball is a funny game. Our bullpen frequently implodes even when we only need a couple of innings. They roll out the whole pen in this game and they are nearly perfect. Might be time for Headrick to get a real shot at a permanent spot not just the shuttle.
