Gibson's stats - 2016 vs 2017 - Freaky similar!

[puckstopper1]

I just looked at Kyle Gibson's basic stats from last year to this year.

 

SEASON TEAM GP GS CG SHO IP      H     R  ER  HR BB SO   W  L   SV HLD BLSV WAR WHIP ERA

2016         MIN    25 25    1      0  147.1 175   89  83   20 55 104   6   11   0     0        0      0.6   1.56  5.07
2017         MIN    27 27    0      0  147.1 170   87  83   21 58 109  11  10   0     0        0      0.4   1.55  5.07

 

How freaky similar are these seasons!

 

Now this will change as Gibson gets a couple of more starts before the end of the season, but WOW!

 

I know he has pitched better since July, but these stats over the next two season leave me *really* hoping that the FO is not relying on him for next season.

Price will be right to have him as the 5th starter going into spring training.

If he's one of 3 or 4 people fighting for the #5 spot in ST I wouldn't mind it, I guess. Though I'd be worried that his price tag and lack of options would factor into their decision to give him the spot by default.

Start him in the WC game and hope for a Blackburn.
