    We had the worst rotation in the league last year, didn't we? Trying to make the rotation better doesn't bother me at all. When the pitching prospects are ready, that problem will work itself out. It really isn't a problem at all. We would have starting pitching to spare, and many teams are always looking for pitching.

    I wonder how well he can dance.

    Maybe the writer is a White Sox fan?

    Johnny Manziel is pretty popular among younger people. After all, he is just a kid having fun in college. People try too hard to give him a bad image.
  5. Tibs
    I think he has a future with the Twins. How important of a year is 2014 for him? I hope he succeeds and spends most, or all, of 2014 with the Twins.

    What kind of innings limit are we looking at for Kohl Stewart?
  7. Tibs
    Does anyone think Kyle Gibson grabs a spot in the rotation?
  8. Tibs
    Worley has one good season that came in 2011 and he only pitched 132 innings. Scott Diamond had one good year two years ago. Deduno looked pretty good when healthy last year, but we don't know how healthy he will be to start the season. Correia isn't being given a spot in the rotation because he is "on scholarship." He likely has a spot because he was our best pitcher last year while Diamond and Worley were awful. I doubt we just lose the out of options guys for nothing if they give the staff a reason to be on the team.

    I'm not missing any pieces. I want the guys who perform the best to be in the rotation. Right now Kevin Correia is one of those guys. If those guys can't beat out Kevin Correia for the position, then why are you so concerned about losing them? Our pitching staff isn't going to be anything special this year. If they can't make this rotation, maybe it is best they go to a different team.

    I like both of these ideas. Kendrys Morales has a career OPS+ of 120. Stephen Drew's is 98, which isn't great, but it's a heck of a lot better than Florimon's (67). I'm not completely sold on Drew for $10 million though.

    I never said toss them aside. I find it interesting that you are mentioning scholarships while seeming to state Diamond, Worley, and Gibson should be in the rotation over Pelfrey and Correia. That doesn't sound like a fair shake at all. These guys have to prove they belong in the rotation out of spring training, and Correia definitely deserves a spot as of right now. Vance Worley had an ERA+ of 56 last year while reportedly showing up out of shape. He has also never pitched more than 133 innings in a season. Scott Diamond had an ERA+ of 75. I believe both of them had surgeries on their arms, but Mike Pelfrey performed better coming off of Tommy John surgery. Vance Worley is likely a better pitcher than Kevin Correia. However, he has to prove it. At this point he doesn't deserve a spot in the rotation over Correia.

    As bad as Mike Pelfrey was overall last year, Kyle Gibson was even worse. I expect Kyle Gibson to be better than he was last year and have in no way given up on him. Mike Pelfrey has had success in the majors while Kyle Gibson hasn't. I would like Kyle Gibson to start in the Twins rotation this year, but at this point I don't see how he deserves a spot over Mike Pelfrey unless he proves it before the season starts. The same goes for Correia and the other pitchers. Kevin Correia was by far our best starting pitcher last year besides Sam Deduno. Did you see how Worley and Diamond pitched last year? Kevin Correia deserves to be in the rotation over them, unless proven before the season starts that he doesn't.

    May for Hardy? I'd probably take that.
  14. Tibs
    You don't think the Yankees would have given the International League MVP a chance?
  15. Tibs
    Is this a good hire? I don't know anything about him or the position he is filling.
  16. Tibs
    All of these guys have shown they at least deserve a shot to make the team out of spring training.
  17. Tibs
    I would be for this. I'm a big JJ Hardy fan
  18. Tibs
    I agree. I was very disappointed with him. It will all play itself out.
  19. Tibs
    I don't think he was unlucky with his BABIP with the Twins. I think he was injured, out of shape, and pitched very poorly. That's not the type of pitcher I expect Worley to be though.
  20. Tibs
    How does Deduno, Diamond, and Worley being out of options affect the chances they are traded?
  21. Tibs
    I think Josh Willingham should be the DH. I feel it makes the team better by hopefully upgrading the defense in the outfield and keeping Willingham healthy. Playing LF doesn't do anything for his trade value for me, although I am not an MLB GM. Josh Willingham will be 35 when the season starts. Scouts and GMs should know what kind of defense they will get out of Willingham, just like we all know what kind of defense David Ortiz would play at first base.
  22. Tibs
    I think I like Colabello even more after this. Turned down money to keep going after his dream.
  23. Tibs
    I agree that Pelfrey was the better signing last year. The Cubs might as well have been paying me those millions of dollars until September. Did someone actually say they thought the injury was in Baker's head? I feel like there would be medical evidence showing the injury, and I don't see why he would undergo such a serious surgery if it wasn't needed.
  24. Tibs
    I really like this deal. Gilmartin is young and has potential to have some kind of MLB impact. It also frees up a 40 man spot while cleaning up the active roster.
  25. Tibs
    How long until he has to be put on the 40 man? Maybe a trade will happen
