    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
  2. Linus
    Thanks for the article. I got a good chuckle out of it.
  3. Linus
    Probably right. Part of this stems from the fact that I don’t want to count on Arreaz duplicating his rookie year
  4. 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
  5. Linus
    I believe it’s about location and the league catching up with him
  6. Linus
    I saw an interesting theory posed and I can’t remember where. Had to be TD because that’s where I get my info. Anyway the idea is to approach all the arb eligible guys with fair extension offers. If they don’t take them trade them with team control when they have their highest value. Probably makes sense for Sano Rosario and Buxton
  7. Linus
    2020 will be very interesting as the league will surely make adjustments. I believe Arreaz can as well. My biggest concern is that his defense is sub par which would be easier to take if we had a strong SS
  8. Linus
    Ummm...no. As in hell no-it would be a complete waste of resources. Not an enlightened proposition
  9. Linus
    Not a huge fan of this move but maybe they think he can have a Duffey like resurgence if he ditches the sinker and goes four seam up in the zone
  10. Linus
    I would give up any prospects for Paddack except Graterol. This includes Lewis and Kirilloff
  11. Linus
    Yes. He’s already had multiple concussions and a move to first will allow him to get 500 plus at bats. This will never happen behind the plate
  12. Linus
    He has ace stuff but not ace command. If he improves his control he can be one of the best pitchers in baseball
  13. Linus
    This. If he can’t stick at short his prospect value halves. If your assessment tells you he isn’t likely to stay at short trade him immediately for the best pitching deal you can get
  14. Linus
    I was going to post this a while back but Souhan beat me to it. I find it interesting that the current FO and Ryan are pretty similar in their core values of highly valuing prospects and avoiding costly free agents. Of course they are very different in how they arrive at their decisions
  15. Linus
    I hope he has great success for the Twins. I will be very happy if you are able to write something similar next year at this time
  16. Linus
    They have to start him and I would keep him in the big leagues. 30 starts of 4 innings is 120 innings. Maybe Smeltzer is his piggyback. Complete opposite
  17. Linus
    Defense matters. The whole infield is sub par including Sano. I wanted a strong SS with Polanco moving to second. That would have made a considerable difference. I don’t know what you do with Arreaz. His bat is great but in the field not so much
  18. Linus
    To me the story was Berrios. He is our #1 guy and he came out and pitched scared. I thought Gibson was out there for a while. For us to win the series we need Berrios to be a commanding presence and he was not last night
  19. Linus
    No. It’s kind of a ridiculous notion to be honest.
  20. Linus
    This story didn’t age well.

    You Tube TV is a great value for $50 a month. It includes every sports channel I want including the Big 10 network and Tennis Channel which are usually add ons. It took me 5 minutes to sign up and can even watch it at my cabin by streaming to my phone using my unlimited data and connecting the phone into the HDMI port on the TV
  22. Linus
    All the quirkiness of baseball is true. Especially if Phil Cuzzi has the left field line
  23. Linus
    I love that he is not afraid. He attacks the zone and puts pressure on the hitter. Gibson and Perez should take notice
  24. Linus
    More sloppy baseball which seems to be frequent. I really hope Rocco is addressing this behind the scenes. This about the tenth time this year that we got thrown out because “of a perfect throw”. There is no excuse for Rosario on that play. You stop at second-going to third gains you practically nothing. Plus Sano was on deck
  25. Linus
    I agree with this. If you also consider that just warming up represents a considerable amount of the pitches thrown it makes even more sense to get more mileage out of them once they are warmed up. Meanwhile the other reliever that would have used doesn’t do a thing that day
