    Clever. I'm guessing you understand my point.
  2. Linus
    Every prospect is different. To label them all the same isn't realistic thinking and leads to lots of fan frustration. I really don't care that Carlos Correa beat Buxton to big league success. I only care about what is best for Buxton right now.
  3. Linus
    I Don think they are catering to Ploufee. Thanks worried about Sano s development
  4. Linus
    Joe is playing Gold Glove caliber defense this year. Of course this doesn't mean he will win it but.... I wonder if in baseball history anyone won a Gold Glove at catcher and then at another position? I'm guessing not.
  5. Linus
    Yep first guy to ever lose a ball in the lights....
  6. Linus
    Yep and just think how valuable he would be if he were Ernie Banks. He's not and whether he is good enough in the field to be a regular is in question.
  7. Linus
    At ss, Nunez was better.
  8. Linus
    Meanwhile back at the original topic....I have no idea if Sano is dedicated to his craft. The Twins do know and if he isn't working hard especially considering his problems in the field and at the plate, sending him down might be the best thing to do.
  9. Linus
    Because the Twins have determined that he can't play the position. SS is substantially more difficult to play and involves longer more difficult throws. Based on the little bit I have seen him play I would concur.
  10. Linus
    Trade Dozier for the best pitcher you can get. Put may in there and you have a competitive team next year.
  11. Linus
    Prepare to be disappointed. He's not playing ss because they don't believe he can play it. Unless Dozier is dealt (which I would do) he isn't going to play as much as we would like.
  12. Linus
    I think the biggest problem with the inactivity is that anybody we have to trade is the last resort for contenders. Doesn't mean it won't happen but probably not until the 11th hour.
  13. Linus
    I don't believe he will have consistent success as a starter with that fastball. It's really mediocre at best and batting practice when off. He might be good out of the pen for an inning or two where he could pitch backwards
  14. Linus
    It actually seems like the most trite beaten to death topic in the history of the internet. There is literally nothing new to discuss on this topic and hasn't been for about three years.
  15. Linus
    In an attempt to simplify this: who would you rather have? I'll take Palka.
  16. Linus
    I understand the premise but wouldn't do the deal. The Twins need all the starters they can get so I'm hanging on to Gibson and trying to add pitching by trading Plouffe and Dozier.
  17. Linus
    TR greatest parting gift is a well stocked farm system which is the most important factor of any. They have some potential high end players and enough depth that if some bust we will still be ok.
  18. Linus
    Storen was dfa by the Jays. Should we be interested if he clears waivers?
  19. Linus
    Here is the point people are trying to make. Nobody on these boards says Joe isn't overpaid. Nobody. Everyone would like Joe to hit for more power. Everyone. He has a guaranteed contract with a no trade clause. He's not going anywhere and he contributes enough to be playing. Get over it.

    We have no idea what Jim pohlad is like or how good a businessman he is (I suspect very good). However he needs to not speak in public. I've never seen a high profile person say such dumb things.
  21. Linus
    If this truly was a result of a difference in opinion about a baseball related decision I don't know why anybody would be excited that pohlad's opinion has prevailed.
  22. Linus
    The more I think about this it has to be about money. The pohlads wouldnt intervene in pure baseball decisions. I'm guessing they want anybody making decent money gone and TR objected.
  23. Linus
    Agreed. He's on the other end of the spectrum from TR but there are plenty of ways to make bad decisions
  24. Linus
    I'm guessing there was a disagreement but who wanted what?I also have to say that I think TR is a good person and probably should have been given the chance to resign at the end of the year. I suppose they could have given that option and he refused....
  25. Linus
    I'm shocked and a little concerned. If nothing happens at the trade deadline because the org is in turmoil it could be a serious blow. And I also agree with nearly everyone else that Antony can't be the guy.
