    This sounds so difficult for a team with some of the worst pitching in baseball. Somebody should be expendable.
  2. Linus
    I think this completely depends on. Who they have to dfa. They have obviously not gone all in so a signing like this is going to need to be flipped at the deadline in order to get value back.
  3. Linus
    Certainly it's possible that it turns out OK I just don't see where it's probable. We have a few prospects none with ace potential and all have to realize their potential for the rotation to be average. I don't like those odds.
  4. Linus
    We should set the bar accurately so we don't miss an opportunity to improve the club. I think Falvine misjudged the market for Dozier.
  5. Linus
    I am usually a glass half full guy.....but I think there is a realistic chance that the Sano Buxton era gets wasted. The Twins simply have poor starting pitching and virtually nothing in the farm system. Considering that they aren't going to outbid teams in free agency and they don't have a surplus to trade (other than Dozier theoretically) I don't see a path where their pitching is above average during Sano Buxton controllable years.
  6. Linus
    Falvey stated a the beginning of this process that they liked Dozier and were setting the bar high for any trade returns. I think this mindset was a mistake and lends credence that a realistic proposal was not going to be accepted.

    Not sure a 2010 scouting report means much in 2017. He was about 12...
  8. Linus
    This. There isn't much risk in trading Dozier because without pitching we won't win anyway. Dozier is being way overrated on these boards imo.
  9. Linus
    What a list. Hard pass. Go get a real arm for the bullpen as the rotation now is what it is. If the young guys are pitching well the vets can get flipped.

    I just want the twins to start playing guys at positions where they can be above average fielders. And yes that means Polanco is not my shortstop.
  11. Linus
    All of these ideas will be great when teams go back to 10 man pitching staffs.
  12. Linus
    Dude reality check. When Harmon retired he was 5th all time on the homer list. I think you need to check the entirety of their careers.
  13. Linus
    Will try to use language that the mods won't delete ....but to compare Brian Dozier to Harmon Killebrew might be the most....inaccurate.... things I've read on this site.
  14. Linus
    I think most posters are vastly over rating Doziers value. Obviously we don't know what's being offered but I think keeping Dozier has very little upside for the Twins.
  15. Linus
    The Twins have done nothing. And if the plan really is to compete in 2020 then I'm out.
  16. Linus
    This. Dozier is a nice player but people are vastly over estimating the value of two years of him is
  17. Linus
    This. Guys get filtered out at every level so it's important to have plenty in the pipeline. Of the 4 mentioned odds are that two end up being MLB regulars.
  18. Linus
    I've been saying all along that they need to target elite pitching and nothing else. We can patch holes in the lineup and you can always find third starters.
  19. Linus
    I don't buy the premise that it's understandable they haven't done anything because they are getting settled. You can study the Dozier situation for an hour and know he has to go. Hopefully they are just holding out for a better deal.
  20. Linus
    I've been saying all along that the Twins should package prospects plus Dozier and go after Urias. Everything has a price....
  21. Linus
    Nothing is clear until the offers are made. Sweeten the pot and get a difference maker.
  22. Linus
    Then add prospects. If DeLeon is a 3rd starter why would the Twins give up Dozier?
  23. Linus
    The twins need pitching far more than positional players. If they can't get pitching move on.
  24. Linus
    I start with Uriah and hang tough. If DE Leon is really a number 3 starter we are aiming too low. We need serious upside not a quantity of prospects
  25. Linus
    I would go after Urias and would have no problem throwing in Kohl Stewart to get it done.
