    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
  2. 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
  3. 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
  4. 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

    If all we have to give them is what we got for Pressly then I do this deal yesterday
  6. 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
  7. 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
  8. 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
  9. 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
  10. Linus
    I wonder if the Twins analytics have discovered that good bullpens make a difference. Scratch that since our has not been good for a long while
  11. Linus
    The launch angle phenomenon has been a huge blessing for Odorizzi a fastball
  12. Linus
    Who gets to Target Field first-Lewis or Javier and at what position?
  13. Linus
    I saw a couple of good signs today. Taking that ball to right center was great and I think he is trying to lay off pitches out of the zone. Time will tell. Regarding the article: Sano has never been a superstar and we would be crazy to trade him right now and probably ever has the upside is immense. And this is coming from a long time Sano doubter
  14. Linus
    Excellent article. Sums up the challenge quite nicely. Will give us a sneak peek at how our roster plays in a playoff style of ball
  15. Linus
    Yep. If you are a reliever and pitch more than one inning for Rocco look out.
  16. Linus
    A much bigger factor is that the Twins are literally better at every position than last year. The rest is hocus pocus
  17. Linus
    Since I’ve been a twins fan for 50 years I am excited about this season. I would advise everyone to slow the roll a bit. It’s a long season and nearly everything has gone their way so far and that won’t always be the case
  18. Linus
    Concur. They are looking good but this is a topic for October. This pitching staff (especially the bullpen) still has plenty of downside
  19. Linus
    Agreed. I would say Graterol / Balazovic are off limits. Everyone else is in play including Lewis
  20. Linus
    He needs to be the Twins Josh Hader. He’s that good. Do you think a Rogers / Pressly combo would look good about now?
  21. Linus
    He does look much better. I still think his hands are too high making his swing longer than necessary
  22. Linus
    Modern baseball. 4 pitchers used in a win where we scored 18 runs
  23. Linus
    It doesn’t matter if is one year or a career. To compare Polonco (who I like) to Carew is ridiculous. He would have to perform at his career all time level for the rest of this year for an annual comparison and another 10 years for a career comparison.
  24. Linus
    You cannot be serious. I love Jorge but to compare him to Carew? You need to seriously slow the roll
  25. Linus
    The exciting thing is guys in double A are potential 25 man adds. Not everyone can hack it but some can
