Nice writeup Seth. But I have to wonder how much less we'd be straining to find positives if Kyle Gibson had made Mike Pelfrey's last five starts.

He was probably about due for that after putting up a .189 BABIP in April & May. And yes, the 6 HR's have helped. Why is that being presented as a mark against him?

Thomas isn't going anywhere until Hicks is healthy. It will be Herrmann and that's the right call. He's had a nice little run up here in 12 at-bats but that doesn't overshadow his sub-600 OPS in 170...

Not sure I'd agree with that. Gibson's ranks in the International League:

ERA: 10th
WHIP: 6th
FIP: 2nd

Pretty good.

They've renegotiated since then, at least once, probably more. The biggest problems for the Twins with their TV deal are that MSP has an extremely low cable subscriber rate (relatively speaking) and...

Good, thoughtful answers from Molitor. Nice interview.

Well, as I pointed out in the thread jokin linked to, the Twins have been plagued by far fewer injuries and on-field gaffes this season. They didn't dig an inescapable hole in the first four weeks....

Right, everything is relative... people must realize that this season can be filled with plight and still a vast improvement over the last two.

Tough not to be a little alarmed by any kind of shoulder soreness for a pitching prospect.

One interesting aspect of this move that I didn't touch on is that Sano and Rosario are both guys who entered the season with major question marks about their ability to stick where they're at...

My outlook hasn't changed. The Twins' chances of competing this year look grim (as has always been the case) but there are plenty of long-term positives to be found throughout the organization. It's...

Can't complain about landing the best prep player in the country at No. 4. You gotta like an 18-year-old with an 88-MPH slider. But obviously there's tons of risk.

Keith Law says 100% chance...

If the Big Three are gone, I don't know if the Twins get much "safer" than Stewart. Gotta bet on talent above everything else.

Because the Twins don't have 4-5 more years to develop him and he's clearly a much worse player at this point in time. Benson is nowhere near the top 100-200 prospects in baseball and has no trade...

Clete is in the majors, Benson is in Double-A. So, yes? Age is not an especially important factor in this discussion since Benson was out of options next year anyway.

Quite honestly, there's...

Buxton is great, but I don't think it's clear-cut that he's the best prospect in the organization. What Sano's doing in the FSL is insane. He is Babe-Ruthing that league at age 20.

You realize that 6 other teams also passed on Appel, to draft players nowhere near as good as Buxton, right?

I'm just going to say it... I haven't been all that impressed with Rosario's offensive performance. He's proven that he can make contact, and he's got a high average aided by a .370 BABIP, but there...

They had every reason to feel that way. He was an elite GB pitcher with an elite walk rate last year, and as we're talking now about things a pitcher can control, those both definitely qualify. I...
