    I think one of the great misunderstandings of fandom is the idea that all prospects are the same or should develop on a certain path. Each guy is unique and really have to be considered individually.
  2. Linus
    Beradino just tweeted that Plouffe has been out righted. The changes are starting.
  3. Linus
    Why would you have a developing player like Granite sit on the bench? He should be playing every day in AAA.
  4. Linus
    Your lifetime must be a lot shorter than mine. In the time line of baseball analytics is a very recent event. Historically baseball has been a very traditional sport in most aspects including strategy and analysis.

    Nice piece about Garver in the PP. Sounds like a motivated guy that really wants it
  6. Linus
    While I generally agree I wouldn't take on any mediocrity that requires a 40 man spot. At that point I would take a prospect - any prospect.
  7. Linus
    I wanted Davis a couple of years ago but not now. Especially after seeing his defense in the WS
  8. Linus
    Pretty much sounds like Terry Ryans philosophy.
  9. Linus
    No. The twins have too many back of the rotation types as is. They need to target quality.
  10. Linus
    Sorry I made a mistake typing. Didn't realize it would be a big deal.

    If this guy was from Topeka nobody would care. I think we are excited about the Cuban aspect of this.
  12. Linus
    You are burning a spot on your 25 man roster for that? No thanks. I look forward to the day when he is not needed.

    There are no secrets to building a winning team. All teams try to pursue all avenues to improve. It all boils down to execution, making good decisions and some luck.
  14. Linus
    And that's different than Twins Daily in what way☺?
  15. Linus
    I'm pretty sure they can focus on more than one thing at a time
  16. Linus
    Agreed. At this point they will really win fans over by winning.
  17. Linus
    I'm surprised how many people are fine with him playing ss considering how frustrated we have been with our overall defense. The Twins have to start playing guys at their best positions which is 2nd for Jorge.
  18. Linus
    This. He's cheap and still has a chance.
  19. Linus
    No. I like his glove and obp, especially if he sits against lefties. Plus I want to see you tortured for the next two years.☺
  20. Linus
    Let Vargas be the full time DH and play first when Joe's sits against lefties. That said I still think it is more likely that Vargas and Park don't turn out than both of them do turn out which seems to be what people are worried about.
  21. Linus
    I would never dh Mauer. When he needs to rest or is dinged sit him. No more of this half way stuff. I'm a proponent of him being the primary first baseman but I would also tell him at the beginning of the year that he is only playing when healthy. No more limping along.
  22. Linus
    Well defensively he is the best choice and the rest aren't close. I agree with the decline with the bat but he still has value especially with a manager who will sit him against lefties.
  23. Linus
    Yep. Not sure that list makes the point. I'm glad all are elsewhere.
  24. Linus
    This. The Mauer hate has clouded posters judgment about who should play. He is a SUPERIOR first baseman which is substantial. He gets on base a lot for a team that doesnt. Nobody behind him can match his glove or obp which means Vargas can DH and Park can wait in Rochester.
  25. Linus
    Actually Joe has developed into an excellent first baseman. His defense is far superior to the other choices.
