Business of Baseball: Gibson, Hicks, Arcia
mikelink45 replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
We have so many players burn out by their early 30's that it is foolish to worry about retaining the player 5 years down the line. Tampa Bay brings them up, plays them, trades them. If we are so worried about five - six years instead of the next few Mauer years we are not being logical. Play the best players, work out trades, contracts, etc in the future and not now. If they are healthy they have trade value if nothing else, but if they burn out in the minors we get nothing. The product that is now on the field cannot motivate me and I have been watching the Twins since I was an usher at the 1961 team opener. This team is boring. -
This frustrated me enough to force me to register instead of just read the Twins Daily reports. Is Sam Deduno the future? Does it help to use up all of Gibson's innings in the minor leagues? What is this season about - the future, now... If they want Deduno get rid of one of the other stiffs in the rotation, but lets see if we can get Gibson in the majors while he can still be considered a relatively young prospect.
