    Very good read! I too hope for some patience in seeing if the coaches can help him develop a solid 3rd pitch. A solid #2/3 is more valuable IMO that a RP.
  2. HrbieFan
    I would entertain extending Gibson on a fair 3 year deal. Something around 3 years $36m
  3. HrbieFan
    Prospects need to be partially looked at as assets. I am not against adding an All-star catcher, but are we at that point? If we had one more sure thing at SP and fewer questions about Bux and Sano, then I'd be all in for a trade. From a GM standpoint, you also have to get talent when you can.

    Sure hope he hits a growth spurt really soon!

    One bad stretch can wreck a RPs stats for the year. So you have to look beyond the stays. Hildy has gotten hit hard for a few months and wasn't good finishing 2017 either. He is nothing more than a middle inning guy to me. I want to believe that May can do it, but that is probably the MN Homer in me thinking that. Reed was awesome last year, hope it is a trend. Some young guys deserve an extended shot. That being said, I don't see a closer on this staff. Hope they put some money out there for a FA that can battle for the closers job

    Drew Pomeranz interests me on a make good deal with an option year. He is a year removed from a very good season and is only 30.
  7. HrbieFan
    If the Twins like someone that is available, who do you think would get removed from the 40 man?
  8. HrbieFan
    Can Austin be sent down to work on that swing? We are already a low OPS team, only way he gets 300+ ABs is if Sano and Cron are horrible.
  9. HrbieFan
    Cardinals have had success starting younger guys in the pen and then transitioning them to SP later on. But as of now I have no clue how the rotation will shake out. Will we 3 traditional SP and 2 Openers? Would being a primary pitcher help Romero? His arm is talented and we need to get it on the major league staff for a complete year.

    Big fan of Arraez hit tools. If not for that knee injury, I think we would have seen him up this year. Not a great glove, so that probably plays into the GMs sabermetric thoughts
  11. HrbieFan
    Analytics is one thing, but as a coach it also comes down to working with egos, motivation and communication. All of these young guys come with great respect, so I will wait to pass judgement.
  12. HrbieFan
    Big fan of Arraez. Is he ranked low because of his glove?
  13. HrbieFan
    Impressive list of minor Leaguers! I don't remember a team coming close to having that many B- or higher rankings from Sickels. One of my favorite bats is Luis Arraez, wounder if the front office would give him strong considerations in the spring for the open 2B job?
  14. HrbieFan
    Mejia seems like a guy that could benefit from an opener in front of him. He often time is sitting with high pitch counts in the 5th or 6th and rarely goes beyond that. He has some nasty stuff that needs to be harnessed to become a true starter
  15. HrbieFan
    Astudillo and Cave are 2 keepers for next year. Kepler better watch out or Cave will take away a bunch of ABs
  16. HrbieFan
    Grossman is a nice bench bat, not someone that is an everyday player. If we head into 2019 expecting Robbie to be a key bat I will be extremely frustrated. Also tired of the media types whining about Buxton. He didn't come ready to play in 2018, the Twins owe him nothing! If he had been raking like last September and the wrist wasn't a lingering issue, then he could be mad.
  17. HrbieFan
    Seems the front office is making sure we get a top 10 pick with Hildy trying to close games.
  18. HrbieFan
    Bring back Mauer on a 1 year deal in the $7-12m area. And please have him be our extra bat on the bench. Let him start 60-80 games and the rest use him to PH.
  19. HrbieFan
    Any chance Tyler Jay is brought up? Let's get this youth movement going
  20. HrbieFan
    Another power arm that has already had TJ surgery, love the return! If we had a reliable closer this year, tack another 5+ wins on the board
  21. HrbieFan
    Some very impressive numbers from the last couple of years draft picks.
  22. HrbieFan
    Very good question. Not very often do you see a guy that can rake at AA not hit in AAA. I could see the FO wanting the younger player, ie Gordon, to get some tips from guys that have been in the bugs already.
  23. HrbieFan
    I could see a C with one of the top 2 picks, but prefer to stick to BPA approach. Good arms and bats are always in need
  24. HrbieFan
    It is nice to have 3 spots with solid pitchers and a 4th when Santana comes back. If Gibson and/or Hughes fail, we have some decent options waiting in the wings. I hope the days of retread SPs is gone for a long time. We might not have an ace, but we don't have 3 #5 pitchers in the rotation either
