    Sure, but if it's less than 10 days between starts, he's not really missing out on much development, is he? Or, alternate sending down Mejia and Slegers/Jorge. They all give you at least a moderate chance to win, unlike Hughes.
  2. Mr. Brooks
    Logan Morrison was worth 26.3 million last year. How much did he sign for?
  3. Mr. Brooks
    Mejia has options. Why can't he go down to AAA between starts to stay on a 5th day schedule?
  4. Mr. Brooks
    Wasn't meant to be a comp. I'm just curious if it's common for any milb pitcher to average that many innings? I don't know. I just looked at Kershaw because there is zero doubt he's a great pitcher. I'm genuinely curious how often milb pitchers average 6+ per start.
  5. Mr. Brooks
    Those 5 games could easily be the difference between making the playoffs and not. I get they have a lot invested in this guy, but I still don't understand giving him a rotation spot- even if it's temporary.
  6. Mr. Brooks
    How is deciding to move on from Mauer "treating him poorly"?
  7. Mr. Brooks
    Is it common for minor league pitchers to average that many innings though? I checked Kershaw, since he's arguably the best pitcher in baseball, and he never averaged 6 IP or more in the minors in any season.
  8. Mr. Brooks
    He averaged exactly 6 IP per start in 2016. Unless my math isn't what it used to be. 22 starts, 132 IP.
  9. Mr. Brooks
    But you don't mind assigning motives to the Twins FO for why they chose to take Gibson to arbitration?
  10. Mr. Brooks
    The 40 man decision is an easy decision for the foreseeable future. He's a long ways off of being in danger of being taken in a Rule V.
  11. Mr. Brooks
    Perkins was quite portly, and didn't appear to be well conditioned. But, as Levi said, not multiple threads about his weight and conditioning.
  12. Mr. Brooks
    Well he did average 6 IP per start in 2016, so I think he's shown he's capable. Just seems really odd to suggest he's a finished product after his rookie season.
  13. Mr. Brooks
    They went to arbitration with Gibson so they could learn the process.
  14. Mr. Brooks
    Odo only has 1 season left of team control beyond this season.
  15. Mr. Brooks
    What if it's possible for a player to improve upon his rookie season?
  16. Mr. Brooks
    If teams want to bring up a minor league pitcher when we face them, I'll be ecstatic. They still have to face Sano, Dozier and Buxton.
  17. Mr. Brooks
    Or he'll never be the same post TJ surgery as he was pre surgery. Not saying he can't get back to what he was, but that's an option too.
  18. Mr. Brooks
    I never suggested dumping him. But I don't think he's suddenly a good pitcher either. He's not the first mediocre pitcher to have a good 2 month stretch. He's been pretty consistent the last couple years, and that's likely about what he'll be again in 2018.
  19. Mr. Brooks
    Do the rest of the months, when he was the Twins worst starter count? And for the record, he was awful in July, so he was good for 2 months.
  20. Mr. Brooks
    Ideally, you'd want high OBP guys at the top. Even at his best, Buxton is going to be more pop than on base machine. Ideally he's a middle of the order hitter.
  21. Mr. Brooks
    That's news to me.
  22. Mr. Brooks
    I went back and re-read the thread, just to be sure. I didn't see anyone write that he's a 100% fastball only pitcher. I may have missed it, can you please quote the post(s) you are referring to?
  23. Mr. Brooks
    I'm not saying he won't be, just that I don't know. We know that eventually age catches up to every pro athlete. We can't predict anybody's aging curve, but because we know that eventually decline is inevitable, then every year that goes by after 30 or so, the odds of decline go up. I don't have any data in front of me, but I'd imagine that by age 35, those odds are starting to get up there. Especially, probably, for a guy who has put more of a toll on his body than most mlb players. (Due to catching. ) I'm not predicting a decline this year, just not comfortable, at his age, predicting improvement. That would go for most 35 year olds.
  24. Mr. Brooks
    Hildy had a 44:6 k:bb ratio in 46 innings last year. He's absolutely a 100% lock unless he gets hurt. The results of practice games mean nothing.
  25. Mr. Brooks
    Sounds about right to me, though I don't know if he'll be better this year. He turns 35 next month.
