    Get used to debates like these because more of them are coming and more difficult ones at that. This what happens when you have a farm good farm system.

    Mike if you read my post you will see that it didn't refer to proving anything. It was an observation about last off season. Point being that you don't know how any of this will work out.

    If I recall correctly San Diego and the White Sox "won" the winter last year. Both were huge disappointments when it came time to playing the games.

    I would guess a more reasonable time to make this judgment would be March 1st.

    I think there are many different formulas for success and each team needs to figure it out for themselves. No need to copy anybody in particular especially if you don't have those resources / parts available.

    Great idea. Somebody start a clever Terry Ryan jokes thread and then the rest of us can read comments about the thread topic. And because sarcasm is usually lost on the Internet "clever" was clearly sarcastic.

    He's still relatively young. Jason Bartlett didn't put it all together until he was 27 or 28. Development of players is not a cookie cutter approach.
  8. Linus
    The tools he has make it worthwhile to be patient. I don't recall if he has an option left but if yes let him play ss everyday in Rochester

    I think all of the above is good news. Moving on from Duensing and Boyer, dismissing scrap heap options and hinting left handed relief options.
  10. Linus
    Well a good pitching staff will contain 12-14 effective pitchers, maybe more. If healthy, I'm pretty sure he can be in our top 14. Don't get me wrong I hate the deal but I just don't see the upside in taking the worst possible loss without at least taking a chance that he pitches better now that he's healthy.
  11. Linus
    I guess I don't understand the "I'll give you my first born child if you would only take Ricky off our hands" compulsion. His value is at rock bottom - why bother? He's healthy now - put him in the pen and he might just surprise you. Which is a far greater outcome than to sacrifice assets just so we can be done with him.
  12. Linus
    I actually think there is a reasonable chance that Nolasco is competent in 2016. He's finally healthy and has plenty to prove. I don't necessarily want him in the rotation but he could contribute out of the pen. I wouldn't do the proposed trade because I wouldn't ever get obligated for big money to a player in their mid 30s
  13. Linus
    Plus 1. Good against both sides and strikes people out. He's likely in line for 3 years which puts him up there in age.
  14. Linus
    Darren O'DAY just got 4 years and $31 million. I highly doubt we are getting a good reliever via free agency. And maybe guys like Fien are worth more than we think.

    Linus replied to davidc3915's topic in Other Baseball

    What this really points out is how desperate teams are for even marginally competent starting pitching. I'm glad the Twins have a "logjam" of guys that have been competent starters.
  16. Linus
    Um yea like when he traded Morneau and choked up at the press conference?
  17. Linus
    They should absolutely be doing this in a couple cases.
  18. Linus
    Probably the biggest factor in Valencia 's success is becoming a platoon player.
  19. Linus
    Given his age and multiple clubs and hitting coaches, the most plausible explanation is that Benson just can't hit. It happens.
  20. Linus
    Does he hit right or left handed?
  21. Linus
    Of your examples only Collabello was suggested that we know of for sure. Plus THE PLAYER HAS TO AGREE. The Twins don't control this.
  22. Linus
    Uh this is just wrong. The number of prospects the Twins have even been connected with overseas is miniscule. The others are viable prospects. Just confounds me how an unfounded theory gains traction on this site.
  23. Linus
    Geez don't worry about Michael - Nobody is claiming him. If you think otherwise you don't understand the process. Protect your pitchers.
  24. Linus
    Oh I think the Mauer threads are the clear Champs in this regard. I might even say these are third after the Drew Butera angst that lasted for years....
  25. Linus
    With an option left it makes no sense. Send him to Rochester and hope he flourishes.
