  1. it'll be very interesting to see where May ends up. I've always thought starter should be the goal and they are more valuable. On top of that his body seemed to break down with the rhythm of the relievers workload. That being said he could be quite the piece for the pen. Either way with that new bionic arm we definitely have something here.
  2. Nobody said anything about keeping Forsythe. There was one comment saying if he got back to previous form he might be a placeholder. I'm not interested in that but Gordon has faded badly the last three years. He needs to figure that out. The FO can't win. They're too slow calling guys up, but maybe they rushed Buxton.
  3. Went out to the garage and missed May @#@$&!#?@$ it. No DVR today, so how's he look?
  4. I miss JT Chargois and do not understand why.... Sorry I'll stop
  5. I hope Molly doesn't bring Gibby back next inning. He's logged quite a few pitches the last few outings. Let's not wear the guy out the rest of this season.
  6. A skill not often mentioned in any sport is protecting yourself. You can't play or play well if your not on the field. His reckless play is fun to watch but had clearly cost him overall.
  7. That's why I'm in the show me category on us fixing a failed Yankee prospect
  8. Yah I don't think we should sleep on Mejia he is a nice rotation depth piece who could go on a run.Edit: oops out of options next year. As stated above they need to see what they have this year
  9. In my opinion nothing existed before the Ultimate Diva!
  10. Hopefully he's got his legs back under him then that talent can go to work.
  11. I thought Presley had talent but if we were ever in a playoff series and he came in to put out a fire i would've been very worried. Looks like selling high to me. I'm not sure this says anything about next year they took the time to evaluate him and here you are. That extra year just means more return.
  12. The reference to gutting the team would be because those that suggest trading Gibby tend to want to move Dozier, Santana, Escobar, Lynn, Odorizzi, Duke, Rodney, Reed,Kepler etc. Even hear Rosie mentioned. A long list. I'm not against moving many of the minor bits but I don't let go of Gibson unless the return is a fleecing of a desperate contender reminding me of the Pierzinski deal. One thing that would be different is then the twins were trading from a position of strength having mauer behind Pierzinski. I would hang on too Kepler, Escobar and Rosie unless similarly impressed.
  13. did Buxton have a track record of injury in the minors?
  14. I think reason the extension to Hughes is considered rushed is the team still had what two more years of control on a super team friendly deal. I'm not sure I would extend Gibby this year I would wait to see him continue this next year but then aggressively extend him by a year from now. I definitely don't trade him.
  15. I would bet Gibby is a late bloomer and has at least a few years of prime ball ahead unless of course Molly grinds him down. We need five starters to fill a team but at least seven to get through the year. If we keep Gibby were have 2.5 you can count on for next year. Romero is my half. With how much this team has struggled too fill out a rotation and all the retreads we have had the pleasure of watching i don't understand a twins fan suggesting we get rid of a talented homegrown guy like Gibby. Plus rite now the guy is fun to watch. Lance Lynn, Ricky Nolasco, Hector Santiago, Sam Deduno, Scott diamond... dude I have a bad memory but I could keep going on and on.
  16. If you gut your team every year you think your not a contender aren't you just starting over all the time? You've got to build with something and in bball there is no better building block than an established starter.
  17. Lady's and gentlemen the Fernando Rodney experience
  18. There is no way I would trade Gibby rite now. The kind of pitcher you build around
