    The idea that Castro and Giminez have had this magical benefit is folly. Neither can hit and the magic framing factor seems to have disappeared. I think we will eventually learn that a catchers ability to frame pitches is largely dependent on the pitcher throwing the pitch.
  2. Linus
    Personally I would rather run Hughes out there than Gibson at least right now. Hughes has very little stuff but knows how to battle. Gibson, not at all.
  3. Linus
    There is no way they would pitch Santana on short rest. My guess is Wilk.
  4. Linus
    Didn't seem to bother their pitcher..
  5. Linus
    Or perhaps the Twins brought him up at precisely the right time.....
  6. Linus
    Wright or Greene. One factor favoring Wright is that he likely contributes while we still have our young core. Greenes best years might be when Sano is playing for the Yankees.
  7. Linus
    Enjoyable discussion however I think how good your 5th starter is probably matters more than your 1st.
  8. Linus
    Alright. So now we know what the rest of the league thinks of Tonkin. Wish him the best.
  9. Linus
    Obviously I'm a huge fan of his defense. He does seem to fall asleep from time to time. Hopefully that gets cleaned up going forward.
  10. Linus
    According to Beredino Berrios is starting Saturday. Everyone can now back away from the ledge.....
  11. Linus
    Quite possibly but it likely excludes pitchers over 30 years old.
  12. Linus
    My point was simply that Sano could be a once in a decade / generation type player and the twins can't waste that by not having credible pitching while he is around (and the others around his age). One could argue that the Twins wasted many of Mauer good years and the corresponding salary by fielding non competitive teams. I don't want Sano s best years wasted by trotting out starting rotations such as we have right now.
  13. Linus
    And Buxton and Kepler and Rosario...
  14. Linus
    Any trade for pitching should be coordinated with the prime years of Sano Buxton et al. This year doesn't matter.
  15. Linus
    Scott Bowman once said nothing for nothing ain't much.
  16. Linus
    So they have to polish Berrios to perfection but Mejia can throw it all over the place? The Twins are over thinking this one unless this really is about service time which I hope it isnt.
  17. Linus
    I've been meaning to post about this for a while. Mollie running relievers out there like he has an endless supply effective pitchers and then we are surprised when one of them blows an inning.
  18. Linus
    If his upside is really #3 starter I go with Greene. You can't use the first overall pick for a mid rotation starter.
  19. Linus
    One thing I hope stops in the future is the twins habit of signing veteran mediocre bullpen arms. Belisle has nothing.
  20. Linus
    No doubt that if Vargas succeeds it would be huge for this franchise. Switch hitting power types are pretty rare and he can take a turn at first as well.
  21. Linus
    Tepesch can slide into the long man bullpen role until Haley is ready. That's about it for value from him.
  22. Linus
    Well at least the bullpen is fully stocked. They might need name tags to figure who number 63 is.
  23. Linus
    Should be a fantastic day at target field. I'm guessing we get to see Adrianza for the first time. Hopefully Buck is back out there - I think Tepesch might need him.
  24. Linus
    Plus he did a credible job in CF the year they threw him in there with no prior experience. He did what the club asked him to do which may have been detrimental to his career. He's not been a great player but the angst....
  25. Linus
    It's been great fun to watch a winning club but also really enjoyable to watch all the good young players. I'm sticking with my preseason prediction of 81 and 81.
