    I believe the 20% max cut he is referring to applies to arbitration only. Joe can sign any free agent contract he likes.
  2. Linus
    I was strongly in favor of trading him. Now I would only do so if we're blown away with starting pitching. I actually think he could be our primary dh and play around the diamond.
  3. 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.
  4. Linus
    When will we learn that playing guys out of position isn't smart. We've got copious stats indicating the importance of fielding yet we think we are Joe Maddon clever with our lineups.
  5. Linus
    My prediction (worth nothing) is that Busenicz becomes the most valuable piece in the Nolasco trade for either team.
  6. 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.

    Adrianza

    Linus replied to Linus's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk

    I had never really considered this but it makes a bunch of sense. Our infield defense is improved without sacrificing any offense. If Dozier can't be traded for pitching perhaps in 2018 he is the primary dh and spells guys at first second and third. I'm afraid we don't have a real dh for next year otherwise.
  8. Linus
    Precisely. Command is more important than stuff. Good pitchers have both. One reason he looks scared on the mound is that he knows a too large percentage of the time he is going to lay one in there to get smoked.
  9. Linus
    Agreed. Gibby is making this non-tender decision easier by the start.
  10. Linus
    I think he should be the starting SS until we are out of the wild card (maybe longer). He is a really good fielder and has hit pretty well. His defense over anybody else is noticiable.
  11. Linus
    One thing to consider here. Perkins was an elite relief pitcher and pitched at a level that anybody in our current bullpen could only dream about. While he will never be that good again 75% of what he was would make him very useful in this pen.
  12. Linus
    I agree that catching is not the difference. Castro has been OK defensively and Susuki like with the bat. Giminez is awful and should be done.
  13. Linus
    Is it too much to ask that we have one catcher that has a prayer of getting the occasional hit?
  14. Linus
    Extending Dozier would be idiotic. We gotten value during this contract let somebody else overpay for his decline years. Deal him as soon as you can get a decent pitcher in return.
  15. Linus
    Per ESPN Perk has been activated. They list the corresponding move as Enns going.on the DL. Didn't think he was on the 25 man roster.
  16. Linus
    This team needs a legit right handed bat off the bench. Garver is nearly a perfect solution in that he can catch, play first and the outfield in a pinch. If Giminez is being kept for "intagibles" then Falvine are suspect.
  17. Linus
    My bigger disappointment is the lack of promotion in the minors. I can understand if they think Gonsalves et.al.arent ready to help the big club but it's baffling to me why they aren't in Rochester at this point.
  18. Linus
    Thank you.
  19. Linus
    It's very open. And Falvine need to act that way especially since the clock is ticking on the core 4
  20. Linus
    No thanks. Burdi has upside and I like that better than 2months of an expensive blah starter.
  21. Linus
    I hate the hat tip from Kyle.
  22. Linus
    For a mediocre rental. If they do that deal Falvine should be immediately fired.
  23. Linus
  24. Linus
    It's the internet. If everyone was rational nobody would tune in. For the record I hate the whole "they aren't as good as their record" meme. Three are as good as their record. That's how things are accounted for.
  25. Linus
    At this point it's hard to justify why Adrianza isn't the regular SS. Perhaps when they throw in the towel Jorge should play everyday. The concerns about him playing short seem pretty real right now.
