    Morneau is growing on me. Understated and he actually offers insight. I think it’s time for Bert to hang it up
  2. Linus
    Now we have to use our only good reliever in a game we are behind. This isn’t how we succeed
  3. Linus
    I really like Roy Smally as the color guy. It’s refreshing to have somebody that actually offers insights that explain the game

    Does anybody realize that Duffy’s fastball sucks and always has? Why would you throw it 80% of the time. Th only thing he has is the curve. Somebody is clueless here
  5. 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
  6. 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

    The Morrison reference was rough and aimed at last year as he hit 38 homers. All or nothing hitters with poor defensive value are not that hot of a commodity. I thought Sano was going to be more than an all or nothing hitter but I’m worried about that now. He has been striking out at a very high rate for quite a while now and there doesn’t seem to be any change in approach. Any good fastball above the belt he can’t touch and the league knows it

    The strikeouts continue to pile up. That combined with sub par fielding makes me think the premise of starting this thread is legit. I get that he will punish the occasional cookie but He has no chance against any decent fastball especially up. I think the league has adjusted to him and now he has to make the adjust back
  9. Linus
    You seem to be quite emotional about this with references to being drunk and dying on hills. I hope Sano is the next great player of this generation. I just see that possibility becoming less and less As time goes by. You obviously get to have your opinion which I won’t disparage.
  10. Linus
    So Sano is going to be Ortiz? If I’m betting my pension I will stick with him being Morrison.
  11. Linus
    Congrats Joe. Amazing to think Mollie has 3 thousand.
  12. Linus
    Right now Sano is much more similar to Morrison than Ortiz
  13. Linus
    The market has been pretty clear in valuing all or nothing hitters with no positional value. Sure he might rise above that definition but there are no signs currently. And no I am not drunk ....
  14. Linus
    Hmmm...aren’t you a moderator?
  15. Linus
    Chris carter was an example. I think we should all be worried about Sano’s current career arc.
  16. Linus
    Ok. 30 homers a year are not going to offset subpar fielding and striking out 40% of the time. He is showing no indication that he understands that he has a lot of improving to do. I hope he monitors Chris Carter’s career because that is where he is headed
  17. 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
  18. Linus
    Is it too much to ask that guys run hard until the play is over?
  19. 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
  20. Linus
    Or to use old stats Darvish could go 18-8 and whoever would get rolled out as a fifth starter would likely go something like 7-12. In other words the Twins win 11 more games
  21. Linus
    Why does everyone assume Sano will be suspended? He’s not been charged with a crime and there is no evidence to prove his guilt. If we add it has to be a right handed outfielder who plays above average defense. GoGo might be worth it
  22. Linus
    I've had the same problem ever since radishes said Josh Willingham was a better fielder than Torii Hunter.
  23. Linus
    Agreed. He will be their best reliever by far. Let's go to highest and best use.
  24. Linus
    Very good info RB. Thanks.
  25. Linus
    This. Like most people I am enamored with his power. But, he strikes out a ridiculous amount, is walking less and doesn't have a position. Sounds like Chris Carter who got a nothing contract. Now you throw in makeup issues and that he can't stay healthy. The bust potential has grown substantially in my book.
