    My point is that we don’t have to accept mediocrity in the field at SS. Get a strong defender at SS and let Polanco be the best all around second basemen in baseball because he would be elite at second base
  2. Linus
    The risk / reward on that play is ominous. The reason you don’t do it is there frequently is “the perfect throw”. It gains you so little advantage you should never take that risk. People need to analyze this like a poker hand and it would never happen

    Since the other thread got locked for some reason Laudner is the worst color commentator I’ve heard. He has to be gone. Good news is that Smeltzer and Thorpe look like two potential effective lefties for the future

    Get ready for pucker time. The Twins lead will be down to 5 at the All Star break
  5. Linus
    Hard pass. I don’t care how hard they throw- I want pitchers with command
  6. Linus
    If the twins take most of the contract he should cost a PTBNL
  7. Linus
    I don’t know if Syndegaard is the right guy but all prospects should be in play with the possible exception of Graterol and Balazovic

    I think I see signs of progress. He is laying off pitches out of the zone lately and his swing looks a little more compact. Similarly even though he had an o fer I thought Buxton had a good day at the plate. He didn’t chase at all - swung at nothing but strikes

    This. There has been some sloppy baseball played in the last month. It hasn’t cost them too much but it will. This is where I would love to know how Rocco handles this stuff behind the scenes. Is it always kumbaya or is he getting after guys for dumb/sloppy plays?

    Nei, takk
  11. Linus
    Just have him watch Garver in bp and then get in the cage right after and imitate him. He’ll never get that short and quick to the ball but he will get better
  12. Linus
    Let’s not gloss over two errors by Adrianza. That’s the ballgame
  13. Linus
    No pressure Jose. All we need is 9 scoreless tonight. Seriously this is a big start - have to stay out of the pen
  14. Linus
    Huh? Forfeit the game. You and Dick share the same paranoia about extra inning games
  15. Linus
    This is th kind of deal you give up serious prospects for, not two months of Madbum
  16. Linus
    My either. I start twitching like B Parker just thinking about it
  17. Linus
    He needs to mimic Garver or Kepler. He would hit a lot of homers and be a complete hitter. That have much more direct swings to the hitting zone
  18. Linus
    I love it. No downside and potentially quite a bit of upside. He has struggled lately but reached a level few do so there is that
  19. Linus
    I’m happy for Sano. I’m critical of him but want him to succeed. I’m sure this stretch hasn’t been fun so maybe the homer will allow him to relax a little
  20. Linus
    It’s a league of adjustments. He threw a wrinkle at them with the cutter and got lots of chases. Now the league has seen it and aren’t chasing anymore. That and he isn’t locating as well as he was before
  21. Linus
    If all we have to give them is what we got for Pressly then I do this deal yesterday
  22. Linus
    This. He basically has to get a cookie to do damage. This does happen from time to time but doesn’t make for a complete hitter
  23. Linus
    I say all are in play for the right deal as there are areas of surplus. Both Lewis and Kiriloff have strong fellow prospects at their position. As long as we don’t deplete one position area I am fine dealing anyone. Hell we don’t even know if Lewis will end up being the best SS in our system. I’m thinking Javier might be the SS of the future. If you can get a stud controllable pitcher for him go for it
  24. Linus
    Sounds like a nice second piece and could probably be had for jake Cave and a lower prospect. I don’t care that he doesn’t throw hard. He is getting guys out
  25. Linus
    I believe the Sano defenders are equally missing the point. The guy can’t hit or lay-off an outside breaking pitch or catch up to a fastball belt high or above. Not the profile of a hitter that is going to produce against good pitching staffs. He has to seriously rework his approach at the plate
