    He doesn’t have the requisite arm to play short and he knows it. Hence all the rushed throws and plays. His bat is excellent and he would be a great second baseman. Just put him in a spot to succeed
  2. Linus
    Of course but basic fundamentals are what he was criticized for. I think there are plenty of problems within the organization and it’s a little too convenient to blame it all on Molitor
  3. Linus
    I thought that was what the minor leagues were for? Mollies job was to win games
  4. Linus
    I think the criticism of his bullpen management is overblown. With that bullpen you are going to always be on the edge of overuse because there were only a couple of guys that were any good. More accurate blame would be to the front office for not bringing in better pitchers
  5. Linus
    Weren’t we just saying all the same things about Gardy? On the list of things that went wrong Molly was about 9th. There were many things outside his control including a bunch of free agents that were mutts. This fine in that we are reducing the number of scapegoats so Falvine can be the next ones out
  6. Linus
    Well said. I’m glad I got to watch him play and appreciated what I was seeing.
  7. Linus
    It is strange they aren’t trying some different things in the pen. They have a lot of work to do in this area.
  8. Linus
    I’m surprised that you have that much personal information about Jeter. I want good players and will worry about leadership later. Your mileage may vary.
  9. Linus
    I’m not talking about the clubhouse and whether they believe in him is kind of the question. Gimenez provides nothing for the future including leadership as he will be gone in a month. What is real is that Astudillo has a chance to be a catcher if given a chance
  10. Linus
    I think the whole leadership thing is overblown. I would rather have Astudillo getting innings behind the plate yet Gimenez is playing frequently.
  11. Linus
    Very strange. We need Gimenez like we need a hole in the head. I generally like Molly but this veteran security blanket thing is silly.
  12. Linus
    I think the characterization that they inherited a mess is inaccurate. The farm system was highly ranked and had quickly supplied Buxton Sano Kepler Polanco and Berrios. There are plausible excuses to give the new FO but this isn’t one of them
  13. Linus
    I like their drafts. Other than that I don’t see anything transformational. They given away substantial talent with their bizarre 40 man roster management
  14. Linus
    I would rather have Rosario, Chargois and Rodriguez. So far I think managing the margins of the roster has basically been a negative grade for the FO
  15. Linus
    Great info - thanks for contributing. Even healthy I have no interest in bringing Morrison back
  16. Linus
    Has anyone seen reports on his fielding? Some were saying he wouldn’t stick at SS. That would obviously play into this
  17. Linus
    Sano should observe Garvers swing / approach.
  18. Linus
    The other option is to take one more year of arbitration then if he continues like extend him the QO and maybe get another year or draft pick
  19. Linus
    With his bat which we still will enjoy at 2nd base. His arm is just not good enough to provide above average defense at the most critical spot on the diamond. He can be a plus fielder at 2nd and then we can go get a plus fielder at SS
  20. Linus
    Polanco is not a starting SS on a winning team but is their best 2nd base option. I would slide him over and figure out a solution for SS
  21. Linus
    Royce Lewis doesn’t even get a mention. We must be flush with hitters!
  22. Linus
    In the “prospect community” you could find people that would give Mother Theresa a 35 for makeup. The guy has been good at every level eventually I’m excited to see what happens if he uses his change up more
  23. Linus
    It was a sloppy game by the Twins in a number of different ways. To blame it on the manager isn’t accurate. Lynn has to be better than what he has shown so far
  24. Linus
    He’s ok. I think his throwing and blocking ability are sub par. Who knows how heavily to weight his framing skills. He does deserve credit for the number of innings caught
  25. Linus
    Falvine haven’t proven a thing in the area of pitching. Their two obvious attempts last year were Haley and Breslow. Both were flops and they compounded their error by hanging on to both far too long
