Here is a little piece from Keith Laws chat on ESPN.

I know you had mentioned on Twitter that Kyle Gibson looked good when you saw him out there, what kind of ceiling does he have? Is it 2 or 3, or lower?

Based strictly on that one look, he's no worse than a three. I'd like to see him maintain it, but damn, that was an impressive outing

Was reading the chat today on ESPN and came across this.

Hi David- Because they are rebuilding anyway, do you think the Twins should bring up Arcia and Hicks and let them play? Try to get some pitching for Span. Revere is only a fourth outfielder in my opinion he doesn't walk enough and has "0" power. Thanks!

I think both could benefit from at least half a season in Triple-A. Saw both play a couple times at New Britain. Hicks still has some swing-and-miss in his game -- almost TOO patient at times and gets into pitcher's counts. Arcia is young, just doesn't have much time about Class A. But I think trading one of Span or Revere is inevitable, yes.

Here is the a little piece from Keith Laws latest chat.

What are your thoughts on Scott Diamond? If Trout wasn't such a showoff, he'd be in the ROY discussion. Can he have long term success as a #3 type starter who induces a lot of ground balls?

Fifth starter, if that.


I respect Keith Laws opinion on most things, but this one is dead wrong.
