    I could not be more disappointed in this move. Not only a very iffy return, but I hate throwing in the towel. Hate it. Don't care about playoff odds, or any of that hoohah.

    I could not be more disappointed. This is awful.

    It's hard to quantify defense, especially at catcher. So I don't know. I do know my opinion is, the Twins probably don't win 2-1 last night with Garver at catcher. I strongly doubt he blocks all the pitches in the dirt that Gibson threw last night, for one thing. It's obvious the Twins feel the delta between the two isn't as large as it appears offensively. I would imagine they have at least some metrics that lead them to this conclusion.

    I have mentioned this multiple times. He has really bad hands. The number of times a pitch hits his glove, and doesn't stick, stands out.

    I think it's inaccurate and misleading. Over the past 365 days, Gibson has thrown 192 innings, 185 K's, a 3.46 ERA, and a 1.227 WHIP. He might fall back, but he's been legitimately, consistently good over the past year. Every pitcher throws a dud once in a while.

    Pressly has the best stuff of anyone in the Twins' pen, easily. He's under control for 2019, fairly cheap. No. Heck no.

    The Twins overall record, and run differential, are both valid arguments about their viability in 2018. I think they still have a chance, but I'm certainly understanding of opposite opinions. However, I don't think "They got swept in KC" is any kind of valid argument. No more so than the fact they're 11-5 vs Cleveland, Boston, and Houston this year. Every team in MLB is capable of sweeping any other team over a given series. Who your latest sweep was over, or who you lost a series to, is virtually meaningless, compared to your overall record.

    And if you trade him, add "quality starter" to that list. Also... You did ask 'How else do you get better?' There are lots of ways to get better that don't include trading off your best players for minor leaguers. For one thing, you could be trading your minor leaguers for some other team's best players. That's in addition to internal promotions, improved play from players you already have, waiver wire pickups, and free agents.

    Can I open my eyes now?

    The Twins will not get a return that will be better in 2019 than Gibson. I’m 99 percent confident in that. I want the Twins to do everything in their power to compete not later than 2019. So I don’t care if some team offers a top prospect. That guy will be in A ball, or lower, and I’m not interested.
  11. USAFChief
    I’d rather have 1.4 years of Gibson. Easily.

    It no more takes "considerable experience working directly with CxOs" to form an opinion on this subject than it takes "considerable experience pitching in the big leagues" to form an opinion on the Twins starting pitching. Mod hat on: You are welcome to post your opinion. However, telling me, or others, that my opinion is "bit$#@ng" and/or "ridiculous" is not within the posting guidelines here at TD. Please stop.

    I would imagine it's that Motter bats RH'd. The opposing starter, Borucky, is LH'd. Also, don't be discouraged by Motter's .000/.118/.000 batting line. That .118 OPS is a full .440 below his career numbers!
  14. USAFChief
    trust me on this...it's not so much the cost in dollars, it's the price you pay the next morning.
  15. USAFChief
    ************, beat me to it.
  16. USAFChief
    I imagine Molly figured this way gets less game thread heat than Motter at DH.
  17. USAFChief
    corresponding roster move when Dozier got traded.

    ftfy

    This thing is OVER, Cleveland.
  20. USAFChief
    "relaxed" is the way to watch a game. On my Ekornes stressless recliner.
  21. USAFChief
    Way cool.
  22. USAFChief
    yes.
  23. USAFChief
    concur
  24. USAFChief
    You have the team name wrong: Tronno Bluej-eh's. Otherwise, great job, eh?
  25. USAFChief
    Well of course not. For one thing, Mike Wallace, Ed Bradley and Morley Safer are all dead.
