    Castro is over rated as a defensive catcher. He’s so worried about framing that he has routine pass balls. Just catch the ball
  2. Linus
    I’m happy for the guy but he is prima facia evidence that this front office completely dropped the ball in constructing a bullpen
  3. Linus
    Very interesting. I hope that this new approach leads to greater command. I think most fans are too focused on velocity right now. Plenty of hard throwers in independent baseball
  4. Linus
    If you have a bad bullpen the only thing riskier than signing free agent relievers is not singing free agent relievers. That had nothing to lose and did nothing I don’t get them

    Carlos Gomez and rajai Davis cur by Mets. Anybody like their right handed bats better than Cave?
  6. Linus
    Good article about a bad situation. How the boy wonders didn’t snap up a couple proven arms is beyond me

    Love the spring training optimism but this lineup looks like it could strike out a record amount and struggle to get on base. Lots of solo homers in our future
  8. Linus
    So if you don’t hit the ball hard you hitting stats suffer? I didn’t know
  9. Linus
    Their bullpen was bad last year. This past off season many free agent relievers were available for cheap. They did nothing to improve a bunch of question marks. I guess I don’t understand spin rates

    Don’t overlook the obvious. Sánchez was once a great pitcher. Pérez has never been which doesn’t mean he can’t succeed but the comparison isn’t apt
  11. Linus
    How long do I have to wait before I say I told you so about the bullpen?
  12. Linus
    Yep. Miggy is a conundrum. I think he has made mistakes but not necessarily this time around. Bottom line is that he needs to be on the field to achieve his potential and that is getting harder to envision
  13. Linus
    I love Polancos bat and approach at the plate. He is not a SS on a great team but could be a plus second baseman. Frustrating that the Twins won’t make moves for the long term future
  14. Linus
    Good question. I’m conflicted about this situation but am concerned that no matter the circumstances he is losing chances to advance his skills which is clearly necessary
  15. Linus
    I have my doubts about Sano and started a thread a while ago about it. This does appear to be an accident but I am curious if he had shoes on during this celebration. It’s too bad that he apparently worked really hard this off season and will have a delayed start. He needs all the ABs he can get to figure out how pitchers are attacking him now
  16. Linus
    Completely agree but if that was the bargain bin they were shopping in.....
  17. Linus
    I think you are on it. I don’t think superior receiving skills steal many strikes but bad hands turn some strikes into balls
  18. Linus
    In all seriousness it would be interesting to know what the pitches were. I am also curious if he is still using the minimal leg kick swing
  19. Linus
    Could be but if Ervs finger is healthy I’m completely confident in predicting he will have better results than Perez
  20. Linus
    I guess the point I want to emphasize is that Ervin ever regains 100% health he could be a very pleasant surprise and there is zero risk to find out
  21. Linus
    Without much notice Ervin Santana and Jose Iglesias signed minor league deals. I think white Sox and reds might really benefit and with zero risk to them In fact my off season plan was to sign Iglesias to play short and move Polanco to second to really improve our fielding as I think Polanco would shine at second
  22. Linus
    He has a nice swing for sure. Perhaps one reason the Twins are betting on a breakthrough with Max
  23. Linus
    This. There are 25 guys on the roster and it kind of bugs me they focus so much on Sano and Buxton
  24. Linus
    3 stories on bounce back candidates pretty much covers the whole team. Perhaps we should get players we don’t have to wish and hope that they will contribute. I don’t get this FO
  25. Linus
    What a bizarre way to construct a team. Wait around and see what bargains fall in your lap regardless of need. Spend the money on a reliever!
