    I think people are under valuing Erv. He's not an elite starter but then there are only a handful of those. He is reliable, durable and mostly effective. Considering a multi year window he's been the Twins best starter since Johan. He won't be as easily replaced as some posters think.
  2. Linus
    So we solve our pitching problem by trading away our only proven pitcher? Sounds like a good plan for 2020. No thanks, I've waited long enough. Plus, IMO, Darvish isn't that much better than Erv.
  3. Linus
    I think they are cramping....

    This. Plus Joe is still a pretty good player as he moves towards the end of his contract. Most of the mega deals involve several years at the end where the player is washed up.

    The problem is that you have to make decisions about these guys when they are in their mid to late 20s. Some don't get it until they are 30 some never get it. Are you going to just wait on them just in case?
  6. Linus
    I have never once lamented the loss of Swarzak or Hendricks.
  7. Linus
    This. The Twins can't wait around for 3 more years for internal candidates to emerge. They have a relatively short window with the entire young core.
  8. Linus
    Dozier makes it and Mauer doesnt. They might as well stop with this farce.
  9. Linus
    He missed time because of a groin strain and hand issue. Neither had anything to do with his playing style. Quit worrying. Last year we wondered if he would ever stick in the bigs.....
  10. Linus
    Thought the sarcasm was obvious there.
  11. Linus
    Well Erv didn't even have a slider tonight so I guess a mute point.
  12. Linus
    I don't get the Castro love. He's thoroughly mediocre and Giminez is worse. The slight improvement in the Twins pitching had NOTHING to do with them.
  13. Linus
    I get that but then don't do it. If I was Mollie I wouldn't be happy at all that one of Sano's at bats came against a stunt. Who cares? Especially fans of the other team.
  14. Linus
    I thought the Romine thing was a joke. Especially on the road.
  15. Linus
    Well IMO their major free agent signing (Jason Castro) is not good. Their catching sucks and they really didn't do anything else. The improvement this year is just talented young players adjusting to MLB play.
  16. Linus
    Probably true on the 80%. I predicted 81-81. Boy do I hope I'm wrong. ☺
  17. Linus
    I don't dig all the bunting but it should be noted that Mollie took the bunt off after it was 1-1.
  18. Linus
    I agree. I will be satisfied if they get to the game. Considering 80% of the board was predicting 75 or fewer wins this is a great season.
  19. Linus
    Thanks to everyone who wrote the minor league reports. Huge part of Twins Daily.
  20. Linus
    Kind of a below the radar TR fleecing. Esco for one month of bad Liriano.
  21. Linus
    Plus if I recall correctly he started his career very slowly with the bat but ended up being a decent hitter in his prime. I can't recall if the slow start withe stick is why San Diego traded him?
  22. Linus
    I believe the 20% max cut he is referring to applies to arbitration only. Joe can sign any free agent contract he likes.
  23. Linus
    I would be curious to know if the mechanical changes he made in the spring are still being used. He looks the same to me although he has been healthy all year. Seems like he is just throwing more strikes.
  24. Linus
    My prediction (worth nothing) is that Busenicz becomes the most valuable piece in the Nolasco trade for either team.
  25. Linus
    Niko might be an interesting utility guy in this age of 3 man benches. He legitimately plays all over the diamond and seems to be able to swing the bat decently.
