This is a lame excuse. It would have a little validity if he as good for the first 4-5 starts and then started to fade, but he has been pretty poor from the time he came up. He got a decent amount of innings in last year so he shouldn't have been so toast after less than 100 minor league innings. I like Gibson and hope he does well, and the Twins surely need him, but we might want to start preparing for the fact that his stuff just might not be good enough.
