    Thanks. Found it in the 700s which is weird. Quite the rainstorm.

    For the love of god can somebody give me the Direct TV channel number?
  3. Linus
    Ok. Anybody with direct TV what channel is FSN plus? I tried 668-2 and no go.

    His first start had a pretty low percentage strikes which is the main thing they are watching. Interesting piece in THE WSJ about Strasburg Syndegaard and others pitching exclusively from the stretch as it simplifies mechanics and doesn't diminish their velocity. Yet the twins added to his windup last year. Makes you wonder...

    I believe Falvey places a great deal of credence in wOBA.
  6. Linus
    I hope you are right Nick. If we judge them on actions it is basically no different than the past.

    Chili Davis to Kirby: "Bunt my ass, hit it out of here and let's go home"

    Duffeys problem is his fastball. It sits around 90 and the command is inconsistent. Unless he is lights out with his curve good hitters just wait on the fastball.

    I think it will be interesting to watch vargas number of abs compared to Park. If Kenny doesn't get many of the dh turns soon that tells me that Park wins the job.

    I would be the GM that TD hates. I would rarely if ever spend big money on a free agent. Instead I would plow that money into scouting and international signings. Scott Bowman kept the Canadiens dynasty alive by trading popular productive players before they hit their decline. Free agency is mostly fools gold.

    I think Kennys is going to regret his decision to play or sit in the WBC.

    It's an interesting topic. I'm sure it's real but quantifying it seems to be difficult. The count in which the "framed" pitch would be huge. The old 2 and 1 is way different than 1 and 2 theory.

    Perhaps it's not wise to stereotype people unless you want it done for people born after 1970.....

    Last year he threw fastballs and cutters.....and everything is hard.
  15. Linus
    Hughes has never shown that he has good feel for off speed stuff. Comparing him to pitchers who do (like Radke) is misleading. I suppose he could learn a lights out change up at this point in his career but it seems unlikely.
  16. Linus
    I think all of hope you are right especially because he seems like a good dude. However he lacks the variety you described in order to be successful with less velocity.
  17. Linus
    I don't believe you are alone on that one.......but water under the bridge.
  18. Linus
    Sorry. I caught it after I posted.
  19. Linus
    Umm..no. it had nothing to do with it. MLB organizations have scouting resources well in advance silly sample sizes but rip away if you want.

    Castro is our veteran presence we don't need Giminez. Garver plays a lot in AAA and Murphy is the backup. Reevaluate in June.
  21. Linus
    90% of prospects fail if you consider how many start rookie ball. It's the nature of the game.
  22. Linus
    I admire your optimism but don't share it. I think the starting pitching in this organization is poor from top to bottom. I actually am worried that the Era of Buxton and sanos controlled years is going to be wasted trying to find pitching
  23. Linus
    This. Maybe even 3 months. There are so many players that need a last chance to see what we have and Vargas is one.
  24. Linus
    He's one of many Twins that are at a crossroads in their career. They hold some promise but are old enough that the team can't wait much longer. I hope the Twins give him an extended consistent chance so we can find out.
  25. Linus
    Unless they feel this guy will help the big league club i would rather have a hard throwing lottery ticket
