    Well stated. That’s why the whole “we will trade for someone” is not nearly as easy as it sounds
  2. Linus
    “We were in on....”
  3. 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.
  4. 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
  5. 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
  6. 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
  7. 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
  8. Linus
    Please no. Sign a pitcher and trade for another. Then sign a good defensive SS and your whole infield is better
  9. 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
  10. 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
  11. Linus
    Probably a wash. Littel gives us some usefulness short term but nothing to write home about
  12. Linus
    Busted-I thought of that after I hit reply. I do have concerns about his injury history however.
  13. 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
  14. 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
  15. Linus
    This. I hope this is the path they take. Forget about third baseman
  16. Linus
    I would do that deal in a heartbeat which means it ain’t happening
  17. 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
  18. Linus
    Castro is really overrated defensively. He should send a lot of money to whoever made pitch framing a thing because that is his only plus. He doesn’t throw well and is poor blocking balls which I consider just as impactful as framing
  19. Linus
    I see lots of concern about the mileage on Bumgartners arm. That’s called durability and is a great trait for a free agent pitcher
  20. Linus
    Not in1.5 million years. If you want to improve infield defense get a real SS and let Polanco play second
  21. Linus
    This, a hundred times this. We could write an equally unbalanced article making the FO look completely incompetent. I hope TD doesn’t lose its objectivity because there have been a couple of doozies lately
  22. Linus
    Thanks for the article. I got a good chuckle out of it.
  23. Linus
    Probably right. Part of this stems from the fact that I don’t want to count on Arreaz duplicating his rookie year
  24. Linus
    I’ve always been a proponent of having Polanco play second. He would be an above average fielder and we keep the bat. Sign Iglesias for a year or two and you are now above average up the middle. Arreaz gets his at bats by playing multiple positions. He’s not great defensively so if he doesn’t hit at an above average level then he doesn’t have much value
  25. Linus
    I believe it’s about location and the league catching up with him
