gunnarthor Old-Timey Member Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 Twins HOF? First vote. Baseball HOF? It'll take a few years.
Brock Beauchamp Site Manager Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 I didn't even look at the author of this thread. I just mattered "Oh christ, Dave." when I saw the title.
Craig Arko Old-Timey Member Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 He takes too many pitches and doesn't hit for power in the clutch.
tobi0040 Verified Member Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 He takes too many pitches and doesn't hit for power in the clutch. A sub 1.00 ERA. Absolutely. In all seriousness, you get people who bail on Mauer after 30 at bats, but nobody ever jumps on the bandwagon when someone starts out hot.
Mike Sixel Old-Timey Member Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 ? people jump on and off SSS bandwagons all the time.....
Craig Arko Old-Timey Member Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 ? people jump on and off SSS bandwagons all the time..... They just need to be careful not to injure anything.
Richie the Rally Goat Community Moderator Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 He's a lock! In all seriousness, it's been great watching him pitch. Keep it up!
Boom Boom Verified Member Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 I would say yes, but since Gardy didn't let him complete that game... it's going to take an extra year.
Joe A. Preusser Verified Member Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 Nah, by the time he's eligable they'll be retroactively voting in all the past PED users, so he'll get shafted.
twinsnorth49 Old-Timey Member Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 Another win next time out and he's a lock.
70charger Verified Member Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 I voted No (but he'll get in the next year). I know that's controversial, but I just don't think his total body of work is there yet. I'm going to need to see 10 to 15 more innings before I can really judge whether he belongs on the first ballot.
Don't Feed the Greed Guy Verified Member Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 How about being the Twins sole representative at the 2014 All Star Game?
Guest USAFChief Guests Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 Yes. But only by riding in on Colabello's coattails.

Don't Feed the Greed Guy Verified Member Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 Kiss of death? The Strib offered this factoid: "The last Twins pitcher to win each of his first three starts as a member of the opening day rotation was Livan Hernandez in 2008."
gil4 Verified Member Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 I hate that darned rally monkey, but it was the only logical option this time.
jokin Old-Timey Member Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 Since he's been compared favorably to Tom Glavine on TD, and Glavine just got in the Hall on the first ballot, I'm wondering: Why hasn't the Clemente rule been invoked and Gibby already been inducted, pre-posthumously?
DocBauer Old-Timey Member Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 Would Gardy let him play SS on his off days? If so, he will be the first active hall of famer.
Twins Twerp Provisional Member Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 With the time it takes pelfrey to pitch...gib-sony might make the hall of fame before the end of this game. #meyeryet # mayyet #hoffmanyet by the time this game gets over tyler kolek might be taking pelfreys spot.
righty8383 Verified Member Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 The real question is, will he be the first to receive a unanimous vote?
LaBombo Verified Member Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 Must be Gibby's having been drafted in the first round that gets him HoF buzz after only one very strong start instead of two, like future Korean Baseball Organization Hall of Famer Andrew Albers.
ashbury Verified Member Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 I have to disagree with the emerging consensus here. His salary of $502,500 is going to hamstring the front office for years, and the sportswriters are going to crucify him when the time comes.
AlwaysinModeration Verified Member Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 I honestly feel like Gibson and Hughes are going to make a pretty nice 2/5 of a rotation this year. However, it may be early to giving any serious thought to the Hall of Fame for Gibson.

Tuba Verified Member Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 Okay you guys need to calm down. I'm sure LEN3 is calling an emergency meeting of the BBWA right now to vote Gibson in
Monkeypaws Verified Member Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 Gibson pitches Twins to 1/2 game out of first. I just hope Mauer won't feel butthurt when Gibson's contract extension dwarfs Joe's meager pay.
