    The twins have spent most of the last several years with 13 pitchers even though they strive for 12. This makes the bench even shorter.

    Castro is our veteran presence we don't need Giminez. Garver plays a lot in AAA and Murphy is the backup. Reevaluate in June.
  3. Linus
    Well based on Stubbs supposed outfield play on Saturday we now might know why Grossman is so underwhelming in the field.
  4. Linus
    Mejia looks like he has some stuff.
  5. Linus
    Stubbs is a clown show out there.
  6. Linus
    Well we know that Buxton isn't in CF today.
  7. Linus
    DanSan our new ignitor.
  8. Linus
    (Parenthetically, I agree.)
  9. Linus
    Allright boys and girls how many posts can we reach?

    This plus don't dh him. When he's not playing first just sit him
  11. Linus
    He has some tools and is youngish. I can see why two different front offices have held out hope. I don't think he will ever hit enough to stick but stranger things have happened. Let's not forget that he actually did OK in CF when he was thrown out there when Escobar and Nunez were disasters in left. With regards to SS his arm and range are clearly better than polanco.
  12. Linus
    I like Joe but he's gotta recognize that he physically cannot handle being an everyday player. I also think he shouldn't dh and consider it rest. His injuries seem to come from running the bases.
  13. Linus
    The 70 is an easy over. The 74.5 is more compelling but I would take the over.
  14. Linus
    Pitching a baseball is a lot like driving in golf or serving in tennis. Being out of synch even slightly makes for bad results. Certainly nerves or too much adrenaline could easily cause this. I would have waited before changing his delivery until he calmed down.
  15. Linus
    Yep read it when it came out. Command is is problem.
  16. Linus
    90% of prospects fail if you consider how many start rookie ball. It's the nature of the game.
  17. Linus
    On the bright side he looks to be a professional hitter that won't struck out much. The Twins can use that so he's gonna play somewhere.
  18. Linus
    Because playing ss at the class A level is a far cry from the big leagues. The minor leagues is all about transitioning to the next level in all phases of the game. Success at one level doesn't grantee success at the next level.
  19. Linus
    Many pitchers have this motion including Doc Gooden. Didn't seem to hurt his results. Berrios problem stem from lack of command. Nobody is going to succeed at the big league level going 2-0 on every hitter.
  20. Linus
    We've heard plenty of criticism when the twins didn't realize that plouffe wasn't a MLB ss and didn't move him until after he failed at the big league level. Whomever was in charge made the decision that he wasn't a big league ss and should learn to be an excellent second baseman. Had Dozier been traded we would be commenting how wise the twins were in grooming him for his natural position. IMO he is not a big league ss and this will just be another detour for a twins prospect.
  21. Linus
    Not cool dude.
  22. Linus
    Yeah hope it's true but proof is in the pudding.
  23. Linus
    The twins way was really tk s way. They really haven't emphasized defense since he left.
  24. Linus
    I still have to wrap my head around the notion that the team with the worst starting pitching last year has a logjam....
  25. Linus
    I admire your optimism but don't share it. I think the starting pitching in this organization is poor from top to bottom. I actually am worried that the Era of Buxton and sanos controlled years is going to be wasted trying to find pitching
