    One aspect of this is early specialization in a single sport. Bodies become “one dimensional” and susceptible to injury compared to the old days when kids played a variety of sports

    I’m always leery when a players greatest attributes are intangibles. He’s cooked and his level of production is easily replaced. Finding a good catcher, Thats a problem.

    I felt the same way. I think he looked to first and the runner going to second wasnt down and it spooked him.
  5. Linus
    I probably would have tried. Of course it all comes down to price but I’m afraid we are entering a period of time where lack of starting pitching might sink our playoff hopes.
  6. Linus
    Yes. Fewer chances to make a mistake. Look this is common baseball stuff so I’m out.
  7. Linus
    Nope. MLB fundamentals that you obviously don’t know.
  8. Linus
    These are basic fundamentals taught for a hundred years. You run them back to the base they came from so if you do mess it up they don’t gain a base. That’s why I think you don’t know ball.
  9. Linus
    Sorry you don’t know ball.
  10. Linus
    Nope. Get the ball to the base to advance then run him back to the base he came from and tag him. If done properly two throws max.
  11. Linus
    Little League rundown. Jeez the Twins are bad at fundamentals.
  12. Linus
    I would give the prospects a shot before the retreads.
  13. Linus
    That makes sense. So interesting! Thanks for writing these articles.

    Lucas - can tendons and ligaments be strengthened? I seem to recall they can’t be unlike muscles.

    I wonder if hitting philosophy plays into this at all. The Twins take a lot of really close pitches with two strikes as they don’t really have a two strike or guard the plate approach leaving them more vulnerable to bad calls.

    Starter or reliever you still have to get guys out consistently. If you can’t the role doesn’t matter. If his control problems are with two pitches maybe he could ditch them as a reliever but if his control is poor on all his pitches you may as well let him get the additional innings by starting.

    If you are not a true power guy then swing the bat like France. I would love his production if he was a good fielding middle infielder, first not so much. I think his defense is average. He’s good at starting double plays and making scoops. His range is okay and is poor for fielding foul pops. After the last two games I can’t comment on his baserunning for fear of violating site policy. He was a good choice for the Twins but he won’t be playing for a team with World Series aspirations.
  18. Linus
    As always, thanks for these articles. I always learn something and it’s interesting to understand the actual injury.
  19. Linus
    SonFrance with his second complete baserunning brain fart in two games. Ty you are slow as molasses just go from base to base and don’t get thrown out. You are not a value added baserunner - don’t try to be.
  20. Linus
    The footwork on that throw was really bad. He rushed the throw like a guy that has a lack of confidence in his arm.
  21. Linus
    This is good news. I saw the move and thought elbow. Hopefully he just needs to skip a start and get back out there.
  22. Linus
    This is my view as well. Floor can make you competitive but ceiling wins championships. As a draft strategy I would target ceiling constantly as you can pick up floor guys relatively easily.
  23. Linus
    Interesting stuff. With traditional starters slowly going away I think these are the kinds of concepts that will be tried. At the end of the day it’s all about having your best pitchers pitch as much as they safely can no matter what it looks like. If Prielipp can be dominant 3-4 innings at a time for example, then figure out a way to deal with the other six instead of saying you can’t be a starter or you will only pitch 1 inning at a time. Time to throw out the traditional roles.
  24. Linus
    What about Diaw s defensive abilities? Is he really a legit catching prospect or more of a utility type player?
  25. Linus
    For sure it was a called play but only because France was hanging out there. He got so far off my first thought was he misread the sign and thought there was a double steal called.
