My point was he wasn't even in the top 10 before the season started, but between injuries and his performance he moved up the list. The first reason isn't good for the Twins the second one is good.

Agreed - I never heard of him until May or June……he’s been as good as anyone could be!! If his stuff is as good as it looks in print, he’s a no brainer to contribute next year! My assumption, with others good health, either Paddack or Varland is in the Pen from the jump next Spring.

Ryan’s back - SWR - Lopez - Ober - Festa …….Paddack or Varland …….hoping Zebby forces one of those two aforementioned into the Pen.

Put away that pipe. JK. Gooden was 19 and totally dominated MLB upon arrival. You had to see Gooden pitch to believe it almost. Let us just allow Zebulon Matthews be himself.

Dreams are always good though. I like that, so I'm not condemning the comment as much as favoring an avoidance of any comparisons. It is similar to other comparisons, such as in the recent game recap article that suggested Royce Lewis was in Bobby Witt Jr. territory, which is unfair to Royce who will never reach those heights. Zebby = Zebby. Looking for a great debut tonight.

I first said "Zebby Mathews = Roger Clemens"  I then said "Zebby Mathews = Dwight Gooden".  These are just jokes my friend.  Because actually,  Zebby Mathews = Jack Morris.  No, I'm sorry.  Zebby Mathews = Nolan Ryan.  Good night.
