    These aren't blockbuster moves that are going to garner glitzy headlines. The Twins haven't signed Yu Darvish, and until something of that nature takes place, casual fans at large will probably not buy into the notion anything has really changed. These kind of comments make me chuckle. As if disagreeing with the premise makes one only a casual fan.

    Rooker hasnt seen AA ball yet, has he? And only has 40 games outside of rookie ball?
  3. jimmer
    based on how much 1 WAR is worth.

    Last year, mauers performance was worth like 18M

    Johan and Justin will get into the Twins HOF. Two of the greatest Twins ever.

    We wouldn't have made the playoffs without his contribution? How do you figure? I mean, technically, everyone who played made a contribution, so in that sense, sure. But his contribution was mostly about stinking up the joint almost the whole season. For as well as he pitched for a month down the stretch, also have to include how he did the rest of the time cause all games count the same during the season. There are plenty of pitchers who could have contributed like he did and we still get in. 71 SP in the AL had 150 more IP, he ranked 60th in FIP and WAR. For the ERA lovers, he ranked 64th. He was 85th in WHIP. He DID manage to get a lot of run support. 90 pitchers in baseball had 140 or more IP, he got the most run support: 6.62. Next highest was 6.21 (and that was the NL). The next highest in the AL was Cole Hamels and 6.13. And he got demoted.

    I'm guessing Santana gets between 10%-20%. Enough to stay on there, but never enough to get in. It's too bad the Mets messed him up (and continue to do the same with their pitchers)

    Like Gibson got the memo about his pitching in 2015, and Hughes got the memo about his pitching in 2014, and how Suzuki got the memo about his hitting in 2014? Remember Suzuki's mechanics fix, and Hughes fix cause of different pitch selection/grip and new home park? Here's to hoping (cause I love being wrong when it means good things happened to our team), but I said after the 2015 season that he was going to be a drain on our rotation for years to come and we should trade him now. I got slammed for my beliefs on him then too. I was told he had finally figured it out, he was living up to his draft pick, things like that. I'll continue to have people be exasperated that I can't see the light on him after having 5 very nice game against horrible offenses who were having lost seasons. As if that short sample size outweighs most of last season and all of 2016 (or, basically, his whole career minus 2015) and as if we know he'll stick to the changes (and that they'll continue to be effective). Most players at 30 are who they are.

    not to mention the 2016 season. His 2017 was practically a mirror image of his 2016.
  10. jimmer
    he had a good five game streak in there from mid August to mid Sept (4 games against the 12th, 13th and 15th scoring offense in the AL and then another against the lowest scoring team in baseball) Then his last three games we saw vintage Gibson: 17 innings pitched, 11 earned runs. Why are so many people convinced he finally turned it around (like when so. many said they were convinced he turned himself around after his 2015 season ended)?
  11. jimmer
    so, they are going to try and trade him? That should be interesting after he gets like 5M plus in arbitration.
  12. jimmer
    Did the Twins really tender Gibson a contract?
  13. jimmer
    and like I wrote earlier: They were 14-15 in June and 10-15 in July. They were 50-53 at the trade deadline. At the break they were 9th in the AL in runs scored and last in the AL for pitching. If that is considered as a lot of stuff going right, its got to be comparitive. Like maybe compared to the Twins 2016.

    SYFY Channel has a show called Ghost Wars. It's a pretty good show. I'm enjoying it a lot.
  15. jimmer
    It was always obvious that was the case, especially if you removed the word slim.
  16. jimmer
    The Twins were 9th in the AL in scoring at the break while being last in pitching and they went 10-15 in July after going 14-15 in June. Stands to reason that the Twins FO should have known that the team would make the playoffs when they were 50-53, and then they should have acted accordingly. Nothing outrageous about that kind of thinking ;-)
  17. jimmer
    Well, LAST year was the 2016 season, THIS year was the 2017 season :-)
  18. jimmer
    why NL? He gets to bat and could very well be a PH.
  19. jimmer
    I would wait until he signs before we speculate on how much he wants to win.
  20. jimmer
    why is that?
  21. jimmer
    This can probably move to the forum titled: 'Other Baseball' now. He has nothing to do with the Twins.
  22. jimmer
    I never got my hopes up even a little bit, so it's no surprise we wont be signing him (though I dont think Heyman is anywhere near a reliable source on anything)
  23. jimmer
    San Francisco (which I visited a lot growing up) and London are my two favorite major cities in the World.

    I want to offer a word of caution. Many people were saying we had become contenders after the 2015 season (praising Ryan for a super quick rebuild). Then 2016 happened. With our pitching, I am not sure we can say we are out of the woods yet because we had a good season. We could EASILY end up in the 70 win area next season.

    Sorry, I shouldn't have butt in.
