    Let me clarify. I was referring to the advantage gained not how pervasive it is.
  2. Linus
    I absolutely believe this cheating on par with PEDs. To know what pitch is coming is a huge advantage
  3. Linus
    Well they are obviously not going to fix their rotation through FA so they better hang on to what they have. And the closer he gets to FA the harder it is going to be to sign him
  4. Linus
    I’ve stated that I would pass. Like it or not there is a high probability that this ends up being dead money and with this ownership that has an effect. I would use the money to extend Berrios and Odo and sign Moreland to play first If you really want Donaldson call his agent and say you have 48 hours to take our offer. Otherwise they run the risk of getting nobody.
  5. Linus
    Nope. I too also believe first base is more important defensively than conventional wisdom. There was a drop off from Mauer to Cron that was noticeable.
  6. Linus
    I agree and that is where I am spending my money and prospects
  7. Linus
    Defense at third base is not even close to the top of the Twins problems.
  8. Linus
    Hard pass. If we are going to hit the farm system it needs to be for a good pitching prospect. I don’t understand the recent obsession on TD about acquiring a third baseman.
  9. Linus
    My concern about the off season is that everyone thinks we can just trade for a good starter since we whiffed in free agency. I think that is WAY harder than people think. Teams that are trying aren’t trading good MLB pitching. That leaves you with teams that aren’t trying that have good pitchers they are willing to part with. I’m guessing that list is pretty short.
  10. Linus
    I would suggest a motorized scooter
  11. Linus
    I was hopeful of adding impact pitching just like everyone else. However you never know how well these contracts work out. May turn out to be a blessing in disguise (or not
  12. Linus
    Iglesias is good with the glove and ok with the bat. The Twins score a bunch they can afford to put a good defensive player at the most important defensive position
  13. Linus
    Baseball history is filled with slop balling lefties that pitch well at older ages. The real question is whether Hill will take the mound
  14. Linus
    There is more than one way to improve. Sign José Iglesias to a cheap 2 year deal and take on Price and his entire contract along with another prospect. With Polanco at second Arreaz at third and Sano at first your infield defense improves substantially. Plus you’ve possibly improved the pitching and added a prospect all for a 3 year overpay that ends right when you need to pay Buxton / Sano
  15. Linus
    Well falvine have had 2 playoff teams that completely surprised them both times
  16. Linus
    I’ve been banging this drum for a while now. We cannot stay with a middle infield of Polanco and Arreaz for the next 6 years. I’m not worried about Arreaz at third either. With shifting etc he will soon be better than Sano
  17. Linus
    Why trade for this guy? This makes no sense at all
  18. Linus
    Please sign a real SS and let Polanco play second. Arreaz can play third and suddenly we have some infield defense
  19. Linus
    No to Wisler and Harper. If either start the year in the pen the FO has failed
  20. 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
  21. Linus
    Going forward?
  22. Linus
    If we take that contract in full then Boston is sending us a decent prospect. This is the way I would do it.
  23. 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
  24. 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.
  25. Linus
    I would grab walker now so we don’t get shutout and then starting working the phones for a real upgrade
