    Scotty Bowman once described a trade as "Nothing for nothing ain't much." I believe one of the players was an aging Mike Foligno.
  2. Linus
    They don't do the procedures so that doesn't pertain.
  3. Linus
    I thought I saw a beredino note that Antony is not being considered for the GM job.
  4. Linus
    I think the likelihood that Hughes comes back to pitch effectively is far higher than Perk. That said Phil should be in the same boat as all starters not named Ervin: earn your spot in the rotation.
  5. Linus
    Same things were said about Dick Such and Rick Anderson. Just sayin...
  6. Linus
    You truly don't understand the point? It's not that cold yet in the True North Strong and Free.

    Ok another casual play from Buck dropping the fly ball. His poor effort the other night throwing out Cabrera going from 2nd to 3rd has me worried.
  8. Linus
    Another jekyll / Hyde performance from Gibson. I don't believe they should give up on the guy but they should definitely not count on him for anything other than 5th starter
  9. Linus
    He has been very public about protecting his starters at the end of the year. Simply put he is not risking injury by letting guys go late in games when it doesn't matter.
  10. Linus
    He did look better. And he had the one guy struck out before the two runs scored.
  11. Linus
    This means nothing. If we had 20 bucks for every time an athlete blamed a coach we would own the Twins. It's a convenient excuse for why he sucked for a long time.
  12. Linus
    I had the same reaction as everyone else to the hook. The only possible thing I could think of is Molly wanted to take him out while he could feel good about his start. Other than that don't know as I wouldn't have taken him out. As mentioned above I also don't get why centeno is catching berrios or as much as he is for that matter.
  13. Linus
    Maybe I'm Rip Van Winkle but didn't the Twins win the World Series in 87 and 91 with MacPhail in charge? Whatever he did I would take it all over again.
  14. Linus
    I think this is the correct path. Trade dozier, move Polanco to 2nd and sign a glove first ss. Need more than one year before FA and no reason to trade for this guy. But this is the type of guy we should target in free agency.
  15. Linus
    I'd rather have Dennis Weaver than Jarod Weaver. They shouldn't spend a dime on any of these guys. Trade Dozier and a prospect for a good pitcher under 30
  16. Linus
    Funny I don't see anyone here protecting Joe's supreme legacy.
  17. Linus
    When he is healthy he is still a good hitter from an obp standpoint and his defense is now very good. The problem is he's not healthy much of the time. I would keep him at first but sit him more and sit him altogether when not healthy. I would not dh him much as Vargas should get that chance. Park can wait in rochester.
  18. Linus
    Don't look back. Something might be gaining on you.
  19. Linus
    I would like to skewer the notion that any position in baseball has enough activity associated with it that it would be meaningful for weight loss. That part needs to come from an outside fitness routine and appropriate lifestyle
  20. Linus
    So apparently Reusse was correct this spring?
  21. Linus
    The most likely reason for him and others is that he isn't good enough. The hardest jump of all is to the big leagues and many players are weeded at at this level.
  22. Linus
    I get your point but it still happens and he's not great against lefties. That makes his optimal window pretty small.
  23. Linus
    Part of the problem here is you can't have a bullpen full of guys that can only be successful if used a certain way. Baseball games and seasons don't work that way. He's not good enough to close or setup so he's gonna have to pitch more than one inning fairly frequently.
  24. Linus
    To me it's not about leg kicks and toe taps it's about pitch recognition. Since he's been back he's done a much better job swinging at strikes but not going out of the zone.
  25. Linus
    I don't agree with the notion that you punt on 2017. With improvement in pitching they can be 500 which puts you in contention for a wild card. Additionally it is good for young players to win and have their expectations grow. So you only make moves that make you better next year and beyond. That means you trade Dozier for the best youngish mlb pitcher available. Sign a good defensive ss to a two year deal and we are better right away and beyond.
