Yeah, the velo drop could turn out to be a blessing in disguise because at one point it seemed there was no chance he'd fall to No. 4. Now some people make it sound like he'd be a reach there. I...

Various reasons. Better pitchers plugged into the rotation, Hicks/Arcia hopefully settling in a bit more, etc.

I hate to say it, but I think things are going to look really bad about a month from now. The Twins are playing some of their worst ball of the season at the moment, and now must head to Atlanta and...

Holding the manager accountable every time a starter goes out and gives up a lead in the 7th/8th seems kind of silly to me. Even if we don't want to admit it, these opinions are almost always formed...

Phil Miller and Mike Berardino are my favorites, and two of the better writers we've had on the beat in some time.

Some Gibson stats:

Opponents are hitting .262/.313/.335 against him.

He has faced 178 hitters, allowing two home runs and 12 walks.

36 of the 43 hits he's allowed have been singles.

By...

Doesn't Terry Ryan's quote within this post suggest pretty strongly that he is ready? I don't see what Gibson's going to learn in Triple-A at this point that he couldn't learn in the majors while...

This represents a double-standard that I really don't understand. Gibson's being treated like any other minor-leaguer and needs to put together consistently dazzling stats to merit a call-up despite...

Disagree. Gibson has "earned" the call-up by being more talented than the majority of the current rotation. I'm not so concerned about his lack of consistency considering that so many pitchers in the...

I think it's a little strong to suggest that Worley's issues have been completely the result of bad luck. He hasn't pitched well. And what you're failing to acknowledge is that Pelfrey has shown...

???

Were you accidentally looking at his K-rate instead of his ERA?

Since going 3-for-53 in his first 15 games, Hicks is hitting .250/.310/.519. He's been hitless in only three of his last 15 starts. He ranks first on the team in steals, third in homers, third in...

Based on what?

That's the glass-half-full viewpoint, but in reality it's probable that at least one of Meyer/Gibson/Mays will not pan out in the majors. The Twins would be remiss if they don't use season as a...

Arcia is pretty much the opposite of what Gardenhire looks for in a No. 2 hitter.

True, and I actually think he has a nice future as a lefty specialist out of the bullpen, but he probably won't get another shot at starting any time soon after this. From that perspective, this is a...

Mauer's season thus far has been pretty interesting. He started out on an insane tear, hitting .393/.439/.574 through his first 14 games. Then he went through the worst slump of his career, with a...

There's probably some truth to that, but they can only justify keeping him in the rotation for so long when they've got viable replacements waiting. His numbers are unbelievably bad.

This was a great read. Perk has an astute understanding of advanced pitching statistics. It's cool to have a guy like him on this team because he really breaks the traditional mold.

With regards to the question at hand, Hernandez simply does not have a future as a quality MLB starter. That seems pretty clear. He might end up being a decent lefty specialist or long man out of the...
