    Turns out Atlanta was interested in getting a second baseman. Would love to know if the Twins had any discussions.
  2. Linus
    This. Maybe even 3 months. There are so many players that need a last chance to see what we have and Vargas is one.
  3. Linus
    He struck out a ton in Korea so I was always skeptical of what he would do in MLB. Give him a shot in AAA and see what happens

    History has shown that labrum problems are not easy to recover from and usually is the end of the line. Large chance that Perk is done.
  5. Linus
    He's one of many Twins that are at a crossroads in their career. They hold some promise but are old enough that the team can't wait much longer. I hope the Twins give him an extended consistent chance so we can find out.

    I thought we had a new age FO?. Perhaps TR is still pulling the strings behind the scenes?

    Unless they feel this guy will help the big league club i would rather have a hard throwing lottery ticket
  8. Linus
    This sounds so difficult for a team with some of the worst pitching in baseball. Somebody should be expendable.
  9. Linus
    I actually think this is a shrewd move. If somebody claims him they have more money to spend elsewhere. If he clears they essentially get a 41st roster spot.
  10. Linus
    I like Rosario and think he might have value as a CF even if his hitting doesn't improve much.
  11. Linus
    I think this completely depends on. Who they have to dfa. They have obviously not gone all in so a signing like this is going to need to be flipped at the deadline in order to get value back.

    There are a whole bunch of things that have to go the Twins way for them to be competitive this year. Better catching, Sano being ready and May in the rotation are three of them. So we have that going for us....
  13. Linus
    Certainly it's possible that it turns out OK I just don't see where it's probable. We have a few prospects none with ace potential and all have to realize their potential for the rotation to be average. I don't like those odds.
  14. Linus
    This. Just because Zobrist was really good at it doesn't mean it's viable for other teams. Especially when it's forced.
  15. Linus
    Ummm...if playing right for a month and a half put him in such a tailspin he is not mentally tough enough to be a great MLB player.
  16. Linus
    We should set the bar accurately so we don't miss an opportunity to improve the club. I think Falvine misjudged the market for Dozier.
  17. Linus
    I am usually a glass half full guy.....but I think there is a realistic chance that the Sano Buxton era gets wasted. The Twins simply have poor starting pitching and virtually nothing in the farm system. Considering that they aren't going to outbid teams in free agency and they don't have a surplus to trade (other than Dozier theoretically) I don't see a path where their pitching is above average during Sano Buxton controllable years.
  18. Linus
    Falvey stated a the beginning of this process that they liked Dozier and were setting the bar high for any trade returns. I think this mindset was a mistake and lends credence that a realistic proposal was not going to be accepted.
  19. Linus
    Not sure a 2010 scouting report means much in 2017. He was about 12...
  20. Linus
    This. There isn't much risk in trading Dozier because without pitching we won't win anyway. Dozier is being way overrated on these boards imo.
  21. Linus
    What a list. Hard pass. Go get a real arm for the bullpen as the rotation now is what it is. If the young guys are pitching well the vets can get flipped.
  22. Linus
    I just want the twins to start playing guys at positions where they can be above average fielders. And yes that means Polanco is not my shortstop.
  23. Linus
    You don't need an algorithm to know we need a lot of pitching help. So available starters aren't good, shore up the pen. I heard reusse interview Falvey and he said with improved defense and pitch framing their current pitching will be much improved. Made me shudder...
  24. Linus
    I don't buy the whole they are just getting their feet wet idea. So far the new front office has done nothing and there are no excuses.
  25. Linus
    All of these ideas will be great when teams go back to 10 man pitching staffs.
