Meh, he had success last year and seems to be a good "team guy" at the very least, if he sucks in AAA cut him loose, it's not like he is blocking any real prospects there....and if he pitches in the majors he will be far from the worst pitcher the Twins have put on the mound this season.

LiTECoin $52!!! Hop on Mike!
-
I haven't been a big Molitor fan, but I gotta give him credit for actually holding veterans responsible for their garbage. Hopefully they cut santiago. -
I'm over this guy. Blaming his loss on "being old school and not liking shifts" just cut him now and get a "new school" thinker up here. 5.00 ERA wouldn't cut it in the "old school" either. http://m.startribune.com/hector-santiago-s-struggles-continue-as-twins-fall-at-kc-in-road-trip-finale/432151833/#1

Just fix it. This pen and 40% of the rotation are an embarrassment to baseball.
-
They can create more cap room by dumping Aldrich, do that and you have 12 million to play with, which should be plenty to bring in a couple role players.
-
Fix the bullpen!!!!!!!
-
Reddick signed for $23 million for ONE!!! Year. Wow, what a deal for him.
-
Wow I guess Rubio had no real trade value.

Ah yeah, I think we were all giddy bc Nolasco was gone and Ryan was gone, hope was in the air! My post below: To me it looks like a trade involving three change of scenery type pitchers, and Santiago. I don't think it's as great of a trade as people say, but it's a pretty solid trade overall. Santiago at least can be a innings eater 4/5 for us, and he will be pitching for his first real "big" deal in free agency. Ideally he pitches 200 IP and a 3.40 era and the twins can either trade him, or offer him arb and get a draft pick (or one more year) Meyer could reach his potential, but I doubt he would have done that here. Nolasco could salvage his career with a nice 1.3 seasons in LA as well. Smart but not great trade IMO. I give it a B Edited by DaveW, 01 August 2016 - 08:06 PM.

I was blinded by my disgust of Nolasco. But shortly there after (last year) I predicted doom and gloom bc I knew that Meyer was suddenly onto something (just like the hicks trade)
-
I'd still take his 6 IP 4 BB 1 H 0 ER over what the Twins toss out 60% of the time
-
HE ISN'T!
-
Last 6 starts. 4 with 6IP 1 with 4 2/3rd 1 with 3 He's not regularly going less than 4 innings...
-
But Meyer is striking out more than one guy an inning... If and it's a big if he figures out his control, he has a really nice ceiling still. Even if not, he still ends up being a decent cheap #4/#5 IMO
-
So you are just going to ignore his last 6 starts where he has looked significantly better across the board?
-
Over his last 6 starts: 3 starts 6 IP 0 ER 1 start 6 IP 1ER One bad start at Boston and one "meh" start at NYY Overall: 2.25 ERA 9+ K/9 The walks still need work, but hes getting better. Nothing has changed!?!!? Dave St Peter is that you?
-
What on earth are you talking about? Won't amount to anything? Are you serious? He has a 3.74 ERA this year as a starter. Yeah, that's not hall of fame worthy, but if you can do that year in and year out you get $14 million a year on the open market. He had pretty solid results against the Dodgers (a good team!!!) last night, and would easily be the Twins 3rd best starter this year. 6 IP 5 base runners 0 runs? I wish the Twins were in a position to "poo poo" on results like that from their starters!
-
I'd sign 92 "veteran" pitchers who haven't been effective in years.
-
Reagan and his veto of the fairness doctrine is what set all of this nonsense in motion. Go over to the UK and watch how they cover the news/politics etc Makes us look like a bunch of freaking jackasses. It's EVERYONE's fault as well, as bad as Fox News is (and they are terrible) CNN, MSNBC and the like pull a ton of crap as well. NPR, NYT, Washington Post are sadly three of the very few "respectable" media brands around any more.
-
Gibson is certainly pitching for his job moving fwd imo. If he settles back into a mediocre 5th starter, as much as I hate to say it; you have to offer him arb. The key with him moving fwd though is the leash has to be short with him IMO. Thankfully we didn't sign him to a Blackburn type deal, this way even if he bombs next year again they cut him and only "lose" 4-5 million. They definitely need one more guy who can be a very good three or a serviceable 2.
-
I'd still try to trade for Porzingis Offer up: Rubio Dieng 1st round 2018 pick And go from there. At that stage you go out and get Hill or Lowry (you'd have a ton of cap room) to Man the point. You know thibs is going to go get Derrick Rose on the cheap as well. Sign JJ Reddick and call it an offseason for now. Lowry/Hill/Beverly Wiggins butler Porzingis KAT Bench: Rose Reddick Burton The kid they just drafted in the first round. That's a title contending team boys and girls.
-
I wouldn't exactly say he "dominated" in the minors, he had a 3.49 era in AAA so far and a career 4.5 era in AAA They need to switch him to the pen, no way can this guy make it through a lineup 2-3 times.
-
He has been better, and looks like a "meh" 5th starter currently. Though, TBH I'm not sure a SP can have a "good" start when they don't even finish 5 innings. Luckily the bullpen is looking better these days.
