    Classy move by Dozier giving complete credit to Buxton for drawing a walk ahead of his double. I think this is what leadership looks like.
  2. Linus
    Another strong game especially in the field.
  3. Linus
    Given our rotation I think we should be overjoyed with Santiago.
  4. Linus
    One gets the feeling that Gibson is in complete denial. He just needs to go to Rochester and earn his way back up. I like Duffy in the pen but we may have to put him in the rotation.
  5. Linus
    He is going to be one of my favorites. He's already a professional hitter from both sides of the plate; doesn't strike out much and walks quite a bit. He's doing much better at SS than I thought he would although I believe he would be a great second baseman. And he is still very young. We might be looking at someone who will be a starter for 10 years.
  6. Linus
    This why I still hope for a Dozier trade. They lack for starters throughout the organization so trading is really the only solution.

    I'm wondering if Boshers is a signal they are not digging Breslow?
  8. Linus
    I actually see promise in Mejia. It's just fine that he goes to AAA to work out the kinks. He will be ready to replace Gibson in a month. Welcome Vargas and Berrios.

    Our veteran catcher swings at a ball at his neck when the pitcher walked two guys in a row.
  10. Linus
    Well played.
  11. Linus
    I really dislike the red uniforms.

    I've posted this elsewhere but Buxton has to re-tool his swing at least for the next few years. He is long and loopy through the zone and the leg kick just makes him vulnerable to different speeds. When Kirby first came up he focused on making contact. Eventually he added the leg kick for power. Buck should do the same.
  13. Linus
    Yep and we can do the same with Mauer, Rosario and Buxton before we burn them at the stake.
  14. Linus
    I think it's mechanical. His swing is long and it appears the leg kick makes him susceptible to changing speeds. My amateur hitting prognosis is that his swing needs to be re-tooled.
  15. Linus
    At this point Dan San is looked upon as an outfielder. He won't be replaced by Adrianza.
  16. Linus
    In this Era Tonkin doesn't throw hard. Plus it's straight and he can't command his slider. I might cut Breslow first but Tonkin is nothing
  17. Linus
    Just option him and see if he can regain his confidence. No reason to put him in the pen when he has pitched worse than any pitcher they have. I'm fearful this is it. He's so scared on the mound that he unravels at the first sign of trouble. That tells me he has no faith in his stuff.
  18. Linus
    Brock Perhaps that is why they convinced him to go to the toe tap a while ago? IMO he's not concise getting the barrel to the hitting zone. I guess we will find out sooner or later. I hope he succeeds.
  19. Linus
    Buxton swing is long and loopy. I think this is all mechanical in that the way he feels comfortable hitting doesn't play at the major league level.
  20. Linus
    I wouldn't worry about Gibson being under control for a couple more years. I would worry whether he will ever be an effective pitcher. People botch about Santiago yet he is the same age as Gibson and has a better track record.
  21. Linus
    I'm of the opinion they just kept as many guys as they could to buy more time before making long term decisions. I have to admit that it might be the right strategy as I was all for sending Haley back to the Sox and he is giving a glimpse of competence.
  22. Linus
    This. The notion that Bert and Jack support an idea doesn't lend it any credibility for me. There are several posters here who I would listen to first.
  23. Linus
    Dumb play by Dozier. No point in trying that. So much for veteran leadership.
  24. Linus
    Thanks. Found it in the 700s which is weird. Quite the rainstorm.
  25. Linus
    For the love of god can somebody give me the Direct TV channel number?
