    Michael has zero chance of being taken in the rule 5. And if by some miracle he was it would be a non factor. He's more suspect than prospect
  2. Linus
    I hope the contract is very reasonable or this has potential to be a Nolasco type situation.
  3. Linus
    That is some lousy pitching - batting practice fastballs.
  4. Linus
    Like everyone else I'm surprised. I'm not sure I like it because this maybe spells the end of Vargas / Arcia. If this guy gets a decent contract he is going to play and I am skeptical of making the jump from KBO to the big leagues.
  5. Linus
    Why would the Twins even want Lind?
  6. Linus
    I agree. He isnt a star but he's a cost controlled proven MLB starter at a position where there aren't many good players. Supply and demand would dictate he has value.
  7. Linus
    He should try the yoga routine May did last off season. The improvement in his control was remarkable.
  8. Linus
    I know he had Dave Ws vote.
  9. Linus
    True enough or convince him to waive his no trade clause.....
  10. Linus
    Why did I get a funny feeling this was going to be about Mauer.
  11. Linus
    This. The Twins at least have options at ss. Nothing behind the plate and little in the pen.
  12. Linus
    Actually as a 3 time batting champ his expected downfall due to catching wasn't anything like what has happened. And yes most people knew he wouldn't catch the whole contract but maybe only the last couple years. The biggest factor in the contract was that he got bad concussions. That's it. Sometimes it's just not any body's fault.
  13. Linus
    At this point I would hang onto Hicks until Buxton is ready. I'm hopeful that we will have better corner outfield choices meaning Hicks eventual best use is a trade chip as a centerfielder
  14. Linus
    People have to remember that he was the best catcher in the game and maybe headed to HOF. It was a proper deal for that scenario. It wasn't reasonable to think he would fall off such a steep cliff
  15. Linus
    For the right catcher the only people not available for trade are berrios. Buxton and sano
  16. Linus
    I thinks trades have been TRs strength over the years so I disagree with the premise of the article. He doesn't trade that much but that is not necessarily a bad thing.
  17. Linus
    Souhan's can come up with some doozies. I am always amazed at how much Mauer still rankles people. People just need to accept that Joe is here, is going to finish his contract here and will be the first baseman. Imagine the angst if he was a bad guy.....
  18. Linus
    This just in, Joe Mauer has a no trade clause in his contract.
  19. Linus
    My expectations are much more focused on what our young players do going forward. Strong steps forward from them will be more important than any decision TR makes this winter.
  20. Linus
    Arcia has more issues in the field than his weight or physique. He has poor instincts and is not athletic. That said I would give him first Crack at DH out of spring training. Yes that means Sano at third and Plouffe is traded.
  21. Linus
    I'm also fine with it so long as he is your second lefty
  22. Linus
    He's not ready to hit major league pitching. That's fine - he's 21 and just needs some time. He's gonna be great but most likely when he's 23 or later.
  23. Linus
    Just a note of clarification. They couldn't send him down without subjecting him to waivers. TD posters want to blame everyone under the sun for critical losses but if Santana had not been suspended, the Twins likely are several wins ahead.
  24. Linus
    Really? Nearly everyone on these boards were predicting another losing season. I'd like everyone who predicted 85 wins at the beginning of the season to raise their hands.
  25. Linus
    Ok I guess we will find out next year.
