    Gibson is already 25...

    Mientkiewicz Of the Twins jerseys I have, I only have one with a name on it. That's Doug's. LOVED his defense at 1B.
  3. ThePuck
    I wasn't complaining, just saying I couldn't read it. For those who could, awesome :-)
  4. ThePuck
    anyone remember Jacques Jones trying to catch high fly balls hit out to LF. Talk about hilarious. I took a lady friend of mine to a game and saw him completely lose two in one game and misjudge another...
  5. ThePuck
    I think it's awesome we actually think so highly of a prospect we're even having this conversation. And I like Arcia even more.
  6. ThePuck
    If there's a guarantee that wouldn't happen after a bit of time in AAA (mathematical reasons aside of course), I'd be right there with you. Then again, what about the OBP? Again, I've already said I have no issues, at all, with waiting till we have another year of control...
  7. ThePuck
    no, I'm not implying that...if it reads that way, that's not what I meant. I've heard people talk about seasoning...as in, just enough time for getting an extra year of control (which isn't much seasoning...so it's not really the reason, it's about the extra year...which is good business but not about his development) Or seasoning, just enough time to avoid super two (again, less about his development than money). Or just seasoning in general, as in just some kind of time in AAA. I didn't mean a whole year. Not sure if I've heard anyone saying a whole year for him and waiting for a Sept callup.
  8. ThePuck
    And look, it's not just pessimistic Twins fans that feel that way...

    'If Hicks starts the season in the majors, I think he could be very prone to strikeouts. ' One month in the minors won't fix that...

    Hunter's third season was pretty nice. 27 dingers, 92 RBI, OPS of .784 and an MVP vote or two. My point is this...he was brought up during a time when the rebuilding was going on and we weren't much of a team. He got his feet wet in the bigs, working out the kinks, without really hurting our ability to be contenders cause we weren't there yet. Same situation with Hicks. Hicks has done better in the minors that Hunter...and he's a very similar player to Hunter overall. Some of the same weakness, a lot of the same strengths...and we're not going anywhere this season or next. I have no issues waiting to bring him up past the date where we get an extra yar of control, but I don't buy the whole seasoning reason, or whatever. He's had enough time. Yes, Hicks is more prone to Ks than Hunter was in the minors, but he also gets on base at a much better clip...which is kind of what we need.

    Thanks for the link! The best part: 'Kevin flipping Correia signed for two years and $10 million, and he’s Kevin Correia. On that basis alone, it seems like the Mets got themselves a pretty good deal. On that basis alone, it seems like Marcum should’ve had more of a market.'
  12. ThePuck
    That's the argument that makes sense...
  13. ThePuck
    Sounding more and more like Hunter...
  14. ThePuck
    Ours for sure.
  15. ThePuck
    I think it's the other way around...if he was good enough to draft that high, it shouldn't take him 6, 7 years to make the show. The kid has never had an OBP below .353 in any pro season. He's a plus defender. It's time.
  16. ThePuck
    The bar is set extremely low. Just better isn't good enough. Significantly better is what we need.
  17. ThePuck
    Hunter would have been waiting a long time...In three of Hicks' five full seasons in the minors, he had OPS of at least .829. Hunter never had a full season in the minors with an OPS in the '800s. Hicks is a former first rounder, #14 overall, with 5 seasons in the minors. Time to take of the damn kid gloves already
  18. ThePuck
    Can't read the link...not an insider
  19. ThePuck
    Who is saying they're against it?
  20. ThePuck
    Thank you
  21. ThePuck
    Apparently of all the prospects close to the Bigs, Gardy really likes Arcia. We might see him here at some point this year...
  22. ThePuck
    This is like the age old argument, what came first, the chicken or the egg...
  23. ThePuck
    Source?
  24. ThePuck
    I think getting away from Miller park will really help Marcum. In the last two years, he's got a road ERA in the mid 2s, while his ERA pitching at home was in the mid 4s...
  25. ThePuck
    he's also said he's happy with the roster the way it is and doesn't foresee any significant moves happening before the season...
