    This. Like most people I am enamored with his power. But, he strikes out a ridiculous amount, is walking less and doesn't have a position. Sounds like Chris Carter who got a nothing contract. Now you throw in makeup issues and that he can't stay healthy. The bust potential has grown substantially in my book.

    Sano punishment will be little or nothing. There is no proof and the allegation is far less than what Chapman admitted to. And before you come at me with pitchforks I am not condoning that behavior. Just stating the reality of the situation.
  3. Linus
    He has the tools to be a good corner outfielder-sufficient speed and a strong arm. This is all part of the development process so I think it is premature to judge him as a fielder.

    Their results were due to improvement of a young core that the previous regime put together. Other than possibly Rowson they have done nothing and have screwed up a couple situations.

    I never thought I would say this but I am now ready to consider Sano in a trade for good starting pitching. I'm afraid he is going to end up being Chris Carter. Problem is if you are wrong on that premise the cost of the mistake is really high. But they have to add pitching to this young core and Sano is now the one I trust the least.

    Absolute hard pass. Falvine is overthinking this thing.

    This. Whether it's trades or free agency - this. Solve a problem for an extended time period or save your prospects and money.

    They completely botched last year's Rule 5 situation. And it appears they did it again this year. Maybe they should not bother with this. I do think hubris might be an issue here.
  9. Linus
    Nothing wrong with a change up bring your best pitch. The biggest challenge for most prospects of the current era is developing a quality change up. I think Gordon ends up at second base so, yea I think he is overrated.

    MLB Trade rumors say Cubs are zeroing in on Darvish. Fun while it.lasted.

    I heard the hat is a tribute to his deceased father who wore it that way. I'm a lot more worried about our FO than Rodneys hat
  12. Linus
    I was one. They completely outsmarted themselves on that one. I'm getting more comfortable by the minute to disagree with "crushing it."
  13. Linus
    Agreed. They completely screwed up the Rule 5 draft last year when they were picking first. Don't bother this year.
  14. Linus
    Nope Dozier. He is going into the last year of his contract. Mets have pitching and Polanco needs to play second.
  15. Linus
    The Mets are trying to find a second baseman. There's your first meeting Falvine.

    What happens if the new coaches are no better than the old? What happens if the two prospects they got the international money never see the big leagues? Like I said,time will determine whether these moves amount to anything. There is literally no way to make this determination right now.
  17. Linus
    I have no idea how successful this front office will be but they literally have done nothing that a typical front office wouldn't have done. It will all depend on whether their judgment proves to be good. Until then "crushing it" is just click bait. Not why I come to this site.
  18. Linus
    I guess I'm surprised that anybody thinks the Twins system has too many good pitchers. I'll believe it when they show they should be in the big leagues.
  19. Linus
    Just reported on Twitter that the Yankees did not make the first round cut!
  20. Linus
    Or the Twins and we already have him!
  21. Linus
    I think people are under valuing Erv. He's not an elite starter but then there are only a handful of those. He is reliable, durable and mostly effective. Considering a multi year window he's been the Twins best starter since Johan. He won't be as easily replaced as some posters think.
  22. Linus
    So we solve our pitching problem by trading away our only proven pitcher? Sounds like a good plan for 2020. No thanks, I've waited long enough. Plus, IMO, Darvish isn't that much better than Erv.
  23. Linus
    I think they are cramping....
  24. Linus
    This. Plus Joe is still a pretty good player as he moves towards the end of his contract. Most of the mega deals involve several years at the end where the player is washed up.
  25. Linus
    The problem is that you have to make decisions about these guys when they are in their mid to late 20s. Some don't get it until they are 30 some never get it. Are you going to just wait on them just in case?
