    I don’t want to sound negative but it sounds like he is a long shot to stick at SS
  2. Linus
    My faith in Falvine just grew substantially. Keeping Graterol May end up working out for the best anyway
  3. Linus
    He clearly has figured out how to use what he has.
  4. Linus
    Or as Kirby used to say “Bad breaking balls are a gift from God”
  5. Linus
    Great article. I think this illustrates that there is danger in counting on a mid season trade. There is just not much out there
  6. Linus
    The only part I regret is that we have Gonzalez instead of Eddy Escobar.
  7. Linus
    The biggest X factor is health. The Twins rotation was amazing healthy last season so their depth wasn’t tested. Sling together a few injuries this year and it could be ugly
  8. Linus
    Plouffe interview was fantastic. Thoughtful and articulate I really appreciated his comments on the difficulty of playing SS in the big leagues.
  9. Linus
    Love the nautical theme. I would take either
  10. Linus
    The other factor in “development” is they all came of age when most players start getting it in the majors if they are going to get it. The credit being bestowed for development may be missplaced The other thing is that I don’t understand why you can’t support Falvine while appreciating the many great things TR did. Was he perfect? No but no front office is including Falvine.
  11. Linus
    So the metrics don’t like him but he gets guys out. I think I’ll take him. Perhaps control is more important than velocity.
  12. Linus
    Great article. Very interesting. Thanks for doing it.
  13. Linus
    It’s more than that. Every starter except Cruz and Donaldson plus Berrios Duffy May Rogers and last year Gibson. I generally like what Falvine have done but I don’t understand why people feel the need to denigrate prior leaders to show their support for the current FO

    I like Polanco and believe he would be a great second baseman. He will not be a good fielding SS ever. Playing SS in the big leagues is really hard which is why so many guys start there and end up elsewhere. The Twins simply need to address this as this is not a long term solution
  15. Linus
    Mine as well
  16. Linus
    This. Your ace pitching money is now playing 3rd base. Signing Donaldson is better than no signing but I would have given the money to Ryu
  17. Linus
    Nope just saying what the reality is. I wish they would spend more but I also wish I could date Kate
  18. Linus
    The Twins have one of the best lineups ever. It really can’t be overstated how good that group will be Can we slow the roll a little here. So many variables involved going forward. This kind of hyperbole makes me doubt the credibility of TD
  19. Linus
    Sorry. Whether it’s metrics or the eye test our middle infield defense stinks. Or if you prefer bottom of the league. There is no reason not to change this especially because Polanco would be an above average defensive second baseman
  20. Linus
    Yea and I should be dating Kate Upton. To dismiss the financial implications of this signing by saying the Twins should spend more is ignoring history and reality
  21. Linus
    I’m glad our defense at third will be better. Its a small thing compared to the middle infield where our defense stinks
  22. Linus
    But there isn’t anything keeping them from pitching like Buerlie. It was the norm for most of baseball history
  23. Linus
    Wow. Our pitching plan is now to pick up Detroit’s castoffs?
  24. Linus
    As a fan this is fun. If this results in them not obtaining better pitching then it is a mistake. And no a good defensive 3rd baseman doesn’t solve the infield woes. It will be fun to watch!
  25. Linus
    Perhaps this is the perfect excuse to speed up the game. Make every hitter abide by the pitchers pace. Mark Buerhle wasn’t having his signs stolen as it couldn’t happen in the brief second it took him from sign to delivery
