    Sano punishment will be little or nothing. There is no proof and the allegation is far less than what Chapman admitted to. And before you come at me with pitchforks I am not condoning that behavior. Just stating the reality of the situation.
  2. Linus
    From my perspective, his texting is the most impressive part of his performance. Hope there is more to come....
  3. Linus
    He has the tools to be a good corner outfielder-sufficient speed and a strong arm. This is all part of the development process so I think it is premature to judge him as a fielder.
  4. Linus
    Very well said. We are all concerned when we hear things like this but, no matter how outraged we are,a correct judicial process will take time. During this process we need to support and respect the alleged victim completely and hope the correct outcome will be reached.

    Their results were due to improvement of a young core that the previous regime put together. Other than possibly Rowson they have done nothing and have screwed up a couple situations.

    I never thought I would say this but I am now ready to consider Sano in a trade for good starting pitching. I'm afraid he is going to end up being Chris Carter. Problem is if you are wrong on that premise the cost of the mistake is really high. But they have to add pitching to this young core and Sano is now the one I trust the least.

    Absolute hard pass. Falvine is overthinking this thing.

    I would love Archer and would pursue him far harder than Cole. However I have to agree with the posters that maintain that Tampa has zero reason to deal him- he is the ideal pitcher to build around. This means that in order to get him you are likely agreeing to a bad deal, which the Twins can't afford at this point.
  9. Linus
    Ok. I'll stick by my contention that a trade for Cole is for two years. Sure there is a chance that it is more but there is no way I'm giving up top prospects for two years of this guy and a hope and a prayer beyond that. Your mileage may differ.
  10. Linus
    Got it. They will sign an extension as long as it is better than anything in free agency. I think the likelihood of Cole being with the Twins more than 2 years is small.
  11. Linus
    What he has done in the past and what he would do next year aren't the same. Plus he has no true position. Hard pass.
  12. Linus
    His agent is Scott Boras. They go to free agency every time. So if you think the Twins will be the top bidder, then yeah I guess it isn't 2 years. Good luck with that.
  13. Linus
    This. Whether it's trades or free agency - this. Solve a problem for an extended time period or save your prospects and money.
  14. Linus
    Wow people seem really excited about two years of Cole. If I have to trade top prospects I'm not going to settle for that return.
  15. Linus
    I just don't get it. They sure seem to like their washed up veterans.
  16. Linus
    They completely botched last year's Rule 5 situation. And it appears they did it again this year. Maybe they should not bother with this. I do think hubris might be an issue here.
  17. Linus
    Nothing wrong with a change up bring your best pitch. The biggest challenge for most prospects of the current era is developing a quality change up. I think Gordon ends up at second base so, yea I think he is overrated.
  18. Linus
    MLB Trade rumors say Cubs are zeroing in on Darvish. Fun while it.lasted.
  19. Linus
    For sure but I'm willing to part with more prospects to get Archer. He solves the problem long term.
  20. Linus
    Use said prospects to get Archer. 2 years of Cole isn't enough.
  21. Linus
    Andy MacPhail was a big believer in the notion that most teams were going to have certain windows for winning championships and they needed to go all in when that window opened.
  22. Linus
    I heard the hat is a tribute to his deceased father who wore it that way. I'm a lot more worried about our FO than Rodneys hat
  23. Linus
    I was one. They completely outsmarted themselves on that one. I'm getting more comfortable by the minute to disagree with "crushing it."
  24. Linus
    Agreed. They completely screwed up the Rule 5 draft last year when they were picking first. Don't bother this year.
  25. Linus
    Nope Dozier. He is going into the last year of his contract. Mets have pitching and Polanco needs to play second.
