    Experience is a big factor. Successful big league players learn and get better. We will s=e if that is Eddie.

    For one year of Lucroy? He's not that good
  4. Linus
    By the 4th of July I hope our outfield from left to right is rosario, Buxton and Kepler with Sano at third. Trevor can be traded or move around but his presence shouldn't dictate the lineup
  5. Linus
    Yes he had been a regular only a short period of time.
  6. Linus
    He traded Hicks when he was shortly removed from being a top 10 prospect.
  7. Linus
    And thank goodness he wont.

    I guess this makes two. Who the hell is Meatsauce and why should we be interested?

    He's proven he can hit. Many of the proposed replacements have not or worse proven they can't hit MLB pitching.

    Can you cut an arb player is spring training and not have the contract? Also Vargas has an option left.
  11. Linus
    Would anybody trade one year of Drew Storen for Trevor May? I think the Twins won that trade.
  12. Linus
    Um, no I don't believe that has been brought up.
  13. Linus
    He's not going anywhere as he has an option left. Don't worry about it if he rakes in Rochester he'll get his chance.
  14. Linus
    I guess I will point out that guys getting on base means you sustain rallies and hit 3 run homers instead of solo shots. I am even more concerned about the strikeouts - they have far too many games where they don't even have competitive at bats.
  15. Linus
    I don't know Chief if you have to give a multi year contract who will block a valued prospect kind of ties your hands, no?
  16. Linus
    Count me as a Park skeptic.I think the transition to MLB pitching is going to be rough. Lots of guys hit homers on 88 mph straight fastballs. I think the Twins problem this year will be OPB not lack of power
  17. Linus
    Not to pile on but it's quite common for young hitters to struggle adjusting to a mlb breaking ball. It took Torii about three years.
  18. Linus
    My greatest concern with Sano in the outfield is that he should be at 3rd base. Given time I think he will be clearly better than Arcia in the outfield but then he shifts positions. Seems like a waste. In general I hope we avoid having either one in the outfield long term.
  19. Linus
    Plus Sano is much more athletic than Arcia. I think Arcia is pretty much always going to be below average in the field. Sano, he has a chance to be above average.

    There are many ways to construct a lineup. I think the biggest factor is each guy has to contribute something (power speed obp). When you have multiple guys in the lineup that don't do anything well and strikeout a lot your offense is going to sputter.
  21. Linus
    I take door number 3. In fairness to the guy he's been hurt practically the whole time but we are done waiting around. Help us in the pen.
  22. Linus
    Hold on here, I thought it was well documented the Twins brainwashed all their hitters to go the other way?
  23. Linus
    When starting pitching is the most important ingredient for winning, why would you trade a youngish starter who is still improving and who you will control through his prime?
  24. Linus
    For years (long before sabrmetrics) I always believed that you could lump fielders into three categories: 1) elite difference makers which comprise maybe 15%. 2) guys that are difference makers because that are that bad with the glove (again about 15%). And 3) everybody else who are so similar that over the course of a season they will have roughly the same impact with the glove. Interesting that the Twins had nobody in the elite category and maybe two in the bad category (Hunter and Susuki and they were close to the middle group)
  25. Linus
    I agree - this should be the plan.
