    This is a very good article using solid info to shed light on a confusing situation. I think the Twins have handled this properly. Hopefully he can be a depth piece as they chase a wild card spot this year and then non tender him this fall.
  2. Linus
    There is always a whipping boy on these boards. I wonder who the next candidate is....
  3. Linus
    The arbitration system will decide this problem. Don't know what the arb number will be but probably pushing $5 million next year. Non tender and there isn't anything he can do the rest of this year to change that.
  4. Linus
    I was thinking the same thing. Special vitamins?
  5. Linus
    Not really. This bit has run its course.
  6. Linus
    Sure there is. We are soon going to be 3 games over 500. Play to win.

    Bert: 3 headed horse. He is a beauty (sort of).
  8. Linus
    Vargas has a more compact swing than Buxton. BB should take notice. Oh and nice catch.
  9. Linus
    I think it is this simple: they want to hang onto as many guys as they can to see who they want to keep. They have nowhere to send Tepesch and want to see what they have. He's the same age as Gibson. Berrios will be up soon enough. Probably when they are confident they have identified the right pitchers to cut.

    He scorched two balls last night. He's much different than Hicks was. Buck is not passive at all and still takes a healthy hack (too healthy imo). Hicks was so passive almost hoping for a walk.
  11. Linus
    Well he was effective last year and so far this year. Seems weird to minimize his contributions since he is one of the few pleasant surprises this team has had over the last several years.
  12. Linus
    Meanwhile, that Sano can really hit the ball. I think he's got a slump or two ahead of him that will bring us back to earth but I am betting that by the end of the year we are pleasantly surprised with his fielding.
  13. Linus
    Buster Olney wrote a column about how many pitchers are potentially available at the trade deadline. I think we are going to be disappointed in what we might get for Erv or Santiago.
  14. Linus
    No worries about the trade. Hicks couldn't beat out Robbie Grossman anyway.
  15. Linus
    It appears Rosario is starting to figure out the strike zone of late. Could be a huge development in the overall scheme of things.
  16. Linus
    I'm a big Polanco fan and happy that he is playing well. Still believe his best position is 2nd but love his overall game. Polanco, Vielma, Gordon and Polacios; the Twins suddenly are deep at a position that was a wasteland for years.
  17. Linus
    The big problem with Tonkin is that he is not very good. He's never shown any reason to hang onto him forever.
  18. Linus
    They can recall boshers. 10 day rule is waived for bereavement. And no they aren't going to make a 40 man move for 4 days.
  19. Linus
    As I understand it the unwritten rule is about retaliating if they think someone gets hit on purpose. Haley obviously didn't mean to hit him as nothing in the game happened to prompt it and it was a close game. Guys get hit all the time without retaliation and none was warranted here.
  20. Linus
    Except Meyer hasn't done a thing and at this stage likely wont. Whatever we get for Santiago at the trade deadline might be the most valuable piece in that whole trade.
  21. Linus
    Another reason to option him. Perhaps that and some confidence from AAA will do the trick. Continuing this hot mess has to stop.
  22. Linus
    Thanks Brock. Then I'm with you-trade him at the deadline. He's not worth pursuing at free agency money.
  23. Linus
    Does Santiago have another arb year left? If yes I'm keeping him. Somebody in this org has to pitch.
  24. Linus
    Just an FYI tepesch is younger than Gibson ..
  25. Linus
    I still think he has to make his swing more compact and focus on contact. He's long to the hitting zone so he has to start a little early which negates his ability to recognize pitches. I would lower his hands and ditch the leg kick. He needs to look at video of his manager.
