    On the brighter side it looks like Busenitcz might have what it takes. The only way this bullpen gets fixed quickly is for him and another young guy come and succeed.
  2. Linus
    Thus would be good news to me as he can't beat out any of the candidates you listed for the 5th spot. And you would be wasting the arb dollars on a 6th starter.
  3. Linus
    I respect your premise but don't share your view. Money aside if they don't improve on him for their rotation I will be severely disappointed.
  4. Linus
    Agreed on the stays in the rotation. If he continues like this there is no way I would tender him next year. His number will be pushing 5 million. Take his money and Santiago money and get a real pitcher. I'm usually a glass half full guy but at some point the numbers don't lie. He has been a bad MLB pitcher for the vast majority of his time in the bigs.
  5. Linus
    I keep Erv because they should be competitive next year and there is no way we can build an acceptable rotation for next year without him. I'm fine with trading other assets where we have a surplus.
  6. Linus
    I'm getting old. I'm still not buying this view. Instead of complaining about the ladder don't let them hit it there. At what point do we just say he ain't getting it done because he is not good enough?
  7. Linus
    At this point the bar is pretty low to match Vargas production at the plate or in the field.
  8. Linus
    Sure that happens. It happens frequently to all pitchers. He should be a lot more worried about the 3 run Homer that was crushed. What's your win probability in games where your starter gives up a 3 run homer? Not high.
  9. Linus
    Sorry not interested in the bad luck theory Kyle. He seems like a really nice guy but whenever he speaks about his performances I get the feeling he is in denial.
  10. Linus
    I think it was good to ditch the kick. He has to make better contact or he will never succeed. Kirby came up as a contact hitter with a compact swing. Once he was an accomplished big league hitter he added the leg kick. Buck also has a huge pitch recognition challenge as well.
  11. Linus
    For Dillon Gee......wow. I think I want Terry Ryan back.
  12. Linus
    I agree about Curtiss. He throws hard doesn't walk many and is handling the pressure of closing. Haley is worth a chance but not Curtiss?
  13. Linus
    He and Gibson look scared on the mound. Their confidence is shot and I get the feeling neither of them trust that they can throw it where they need to.
  14. Linus
    Let's consider it a win that Vargas didn't get optioned.
  15. Linus
    Kind of like Archers slider....
  16. Linus
    I have posted this elsewhere but I see a trend pitching to Sano. Fastballs up and sliders low and away. I hate to say it but Sano is going to hit a rough patch until he adjusts. I think the book is out as he loves to golf those low fastballs.
  17. Linus
    The Os pitched him up in the zone and he struggled. I think he's going to see a steady diet of that until he adjusts.
  18. Linus
    He throws hard IIRC. I wonder what his secondary pitches are like. Maybe he should be in the conversation with Burdi as first call ups.
  19. Linus
    Honestly I don't know what I would do probably nothing while we are winning but neither Castro or giminez is good enough to block a legit prospect.
  20. Linus
    Ok. Pretty much screwed up that inning.
  21. Linus
    Grossman has his back pocket out. As if anybody much less the youth of Minnesota give a bleep if he chews.
  22. Linus
    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.
  23. 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.
  24. Linus
    Enjoyable discussion however I think how good your 5th starter is probably matters more than your 1st.
  25. Linus
    Scott Bowman once said nothing for nothing ain't much.
