    The idea that Castro and Giminez have had this magical benefit is folly. Neither can hit and the magic framing factor seems to have disappeared. I think we will eventually learn that a catchers ability to frame pitches is largely dependent on the pitcher throwing the pitch.
  2. Linus
    Wright or Greene. One factor favoring Wright is that he likely contributes while we still have our young core. Greenes best years might be when Sano is playing for the Yankees.
  3. Linus
    Enjoyable discussion however I think how good your 5th starter is probably matters more than your 1st.
  4. Linus
    Scott Bowman once said nothing for nothing ain't much.
  5. Linus
    If his upside is really #3 starter I go with Greene. You can't use the first overall pick for a mid rotation starter.
  6. Linus
    This is a very good article using solid info to shed light on a confusing situation. I think the Twins have handled this properly. Hopefully he can be a depth piece as they chase a wild card spot this year and then non tender him this fall.
  7. Linus
    The arbitration system will decide this problem. Don't know what the arb number will be but probably pushing $5 million next year. Non tender and there isn't anything he can do the rest of this year to change that.

    He scorched two balls last night. He's much different than Hicks was. Buck is not passive at all and still takes a healthy hack (too healthy imo). Hicks was so passive almost hoping for a walk.

    I'm a big Polanco fan and happy that he is playing well. Still believe his best position is 2nd but love his overall game. Polanco, Vielma, Gordon and Polacios; the Twins suddenly are deep at a position that was a wasteland for years.
  10. Linus
    I still think he has to make his swing more compact and focus on contact. He's long to the hitting zone so he has to start a little early which negates his ability to recognize pitches. I would lower his hands and ditch the leg kick. He needs to look at video of his manager.

    Classy move by Dozier giving complete credit to Buxton for drawing a walk ahead of his double. I think this is what leadership looks like.
  12. Linus
    This why I still hope for a Dozier trade. They lack for starters throughout the organization so trading is really the only solution.
  13. Linus
    I really dislike the red uniforms.
  14. Linus
    Yep and we can do the same with Mauer, Rosario and Buxton before we burn them at the stake.
  15. Linus
    Dumb play by Dozier. No point in trying that. So much for veteran leadership.
  16. Linus
    Thanks. Found it in the 700s which is weird. Quite the rainstorm.

    For the love of god can somebody give me the Direct TV channel number?
  18. Linus
    Ok. Anybody with direct TV what channel is FSN plus? I tried 668-2 and no go.

    His first start had a pretty low percentage strikes which is the main thing they are watching. Interesting piece in THE WSJ about Strasburg Syndegaard and others pitching exclusively from the stretch as it simplifies mechanics and doesn't diminish their velocity. Yet the twins added to his windup last year. Makes you wonder...
  20. Linus
    I believe Falvey places a great deal of credence in wOBA.
  21. Linus
    I hope you are right Nick. If we judge them on actions it is basically no different than the past.

    Chili Davis to Kirby: "Bunt my ass, hit it out of here and let's go home"
  23. Linus
    Duffeys problem is his fastball. It sits around 90 and the command is inconsistent. Unless he is lights out with his curve good hitters just wait on the fastball.
  24. Linus
    I think it will be interesting to watch vargas number of abs compared to Park. If Kenny doesn't get many of the dh turns soon that tells me that Park wins the job.
  25. Linus
    I would be the GM that TD hates. I would rarely if ever spend big money on a free agent. Instead I would plow that money into scouting and international signings. Scott Bowman kept the Canadiens dynasty alive by trading popular productive players before they hit their decline. Free agency is mostly fools gold.
