05-22-2013, 09:25 PMIt has to be Gibson. They used Mastro's spot for Colabello. They will likely use Woods' spot for Deduno. They are running out of 60-day DL...84 replies | 4371 view(s)

05-21-2013, 01:34 PMcmathewson commented on article Twins To Go With Samuel Deduno, Kyle Gibson To Wait in Minnesota TwinsI'm not all that happy about this. But I can understand it. Deduno was scheduled to start the year in place of Hendriks until he hurt his groin in...20 replies | 1888 view(s)

05-21-2013, 09:03 AMHe's on the fast track. I think he will spend the second half of 2013 in Fort Myers. I think he will start 2014 in AA, and get promoted to AAA...24 replies | 1891 view(s)

05-20-2013, 04:48 PMI don't think it's a hard date. It's on a percentage basis. I believe the player needs to be in the top 20% of his rookie class. If it's a...161 replies | 3138 view(s)

05-20-2013, 03:28 PMcmathewson replied to a thread Draft Question: Who would disappoint you at #4? in Twins Minor League TalkIt depends on who's left. If Manaea is there, I'd be disappointed if they didn't take him. Ditto Bryant. I figure one or the other will be there. In...46 replies | 1167 view(s)

05-20-2013, 03:16 PMOdds are, it's Gibson because of the 40-man issue. If they had found some damage in Wood's shoulder, maybe. But the MRI came in clean. So they...22 replies | 2468 view(s)

05-20-2013, 10:40 AMUltimately, the two are related. You can't win if all the players cost too much to keep them. Considering that we won't win this year, it makes sense...24 replies | 1448 view(s)

05-19-2013, 12:00 PMIn the context of how they handle their pitchers, especially their prospects, it was preposterous. They rarely let guys throw more than 100 pitches....88 replies | 2789 view(s)

05-17-2013, 04:08 PMI don't care about how guys are rated. But it is odd that you say Upton had 80 power as a 19 year old and Buxton only has 70 speed. The only 80 power...179 replies | 7543 view(s)
