    Unbelievable catch. Makes me wonder how he could loaf his way to a fly ball and 3 hop a throw to 3rd and not get Miggy.
  2. Linus
    The Twins have to start playing people at their best positions if the defense is ever going to improve. Polanco needs to play second base and let a real ss play short.
  3. Linus
    Ervin is back. The rest need to fight for their jobs. It's also why Dozier needs to be traded for the best starter available. What a mess.
  4. Linus
    I've tried to be fair to the local 9 over the last 5 years. To see Cabrera circle the bases because of complete lack of effort / basic competence is too much. Buxton should be sitting right now and Molly is obviously not the guy to teach this crew of dipsheets.
  5. Linus
    At this point forget prospects. We've got plenty. Get the best mlb starter you can with team control. Throw in anybody not named berrios Buxton Sano or Kepler to get it done.

    I'm now of the belief the only way out of this mess is to deal Dozier for the best starter you can get. Then sign a defense first ss and your defense and pitching are dramatically improved. Esco stays an excellent utility guy.

    Ah crap. Bert just said the same thing. I'm out.
  8. Linus
    Actually Berrios is looking better. He's been around the plate more and the stuff is there. He obviously needs to command all his pitches better. When he is ahead in the count he is fine.

    I don't know as it is this simple. Many pitchers show the ball behind their back without issue. I've always been told that hitters focus on the anticipated release point in order to pick up the ball at the earliest point. Even if he had a perfect circle change grip it would be visually different on the backswing. I think his biggest problem is just being in hitters counts all the time.
  10. Linus
    He's been injured quite a bit during his year and a half in the bigs. I hope his off season a dresses that.
  11. Linus
    Interesting. Makes the tank it or blow it up strategies look not quite as attractive.
  12. Linus
    I'm not at all worried about a candidate pulling out that signed Pablo Sandoval to a $70 million plus contract.
  13. Linus
    I've been wondering about the radar gun readings. We heard about shaggy and light hitting 98 or so but they haven't come close to that in the bigs. Is this a difference in radar guns or are they not throwing as hard in the big leagues?
  14. Linus
    I'm old. That last throw from Sano might be the hardest throw I've seen from third base. Definitely worth giving him a chance to try and become an acceptable 3rd baseman.
  15. Linus
    Ok so it might comfort some posters to see another manager inexplicably in love with the bunt. Also I think we have one less unanswered question; Tyler Duffey is not a starter in a food big league rotation.
  16. Linus
    I don't think he is a long term ss. Hands are fine but range is not elite and arm is not strong enough. He can get better so no harm letting him try. Long term he is a second baseman.
  17. Linus
    This sums it up for me quite nicely.
  18. Linus
    Anybody sick of Gibson?
  19. Linus
    Obviously one can make a great case for firing Molitor. However in reference to the original post, no decision of this magnitude should be done to send a message to fans. That's meaningless.
  20. Linus
    There is no way Ramos is signing for $6 million per year which is Suzuki money.
  21. Linus
    Our friend Oswald was dfa by the Rays.
  22. Linus
    I would also shop him hard and throw in enough prospect talent to obtain a pitcher who will be near the top of the rotation next year and many years. They need pitching and none is on the horizon. Polanco provides obp that this lineup badly needs and I am beginning to think that 2nd base is the only spot where his glove will be adequate.
  23. Linus
    Man does he have a strong arm. He throws absolute BBs out there
  24. Linus
    Why would we want to?
  25. Linus
    So basically Joe is doing everything we want at a high level except hit home runs. Sounds like a good player to me.
