I think your points are valid that it has much more to do with the current rotation than Gibson knocking down the door. However, think those reasons are plenty good enough to call him up. If there...

mike wins the internet today.

Gibson was almost ready before his TJ surgery. He's 6-8 months further removed from surgery than Pelfrey, a guy who has shown almost nothing in ST and the first 2...

Luckily for Gibson, he'd be joining a AAAA staff.

They definitely still need more high-upside pitchers in the org, I just meant Buxton's talent really looks like it was too much to pass up.

I've been more critical of the Twins than most fans but...

I'll admit that last year I was one of those guys doing the whole "ZOMG another toolsy HS outfielder we need pitchers aaaarrrgghh!". Holy crap, was I ever wrong.

The fact that Morneau looks the same as the 2011 version is what is the most aggravating. I was optimistic that this year he would somewhat resemble the great hitter he was. If this casual baseball...

I'm also not concerned about Baby J. On the other hand, that guy that used to be Justin Morneau looks hopeless. He flies open so early that he's going to get beaned in the junk one of these days.

Daniel Ernesto Santana, SS, New Britain Rock Cats. Be sure to check it out for future updates like handedness, age and birthplace!

No matter what happens, we will always have those heady days of early April.

I'm glad Dozier isn't batting 2nd. He was apparently pressing last year and doesn't need added the pressure of filling a spot in the batting order that is above his capability. Batting Mauer at #2...

Rational Me would rank Mauer at #3 but that dude is a buzzkill.

I enjoy ripping Baby Jesus more than most but even I think he should be in the #3-#6 range.

For the sake of Twins fans mental health, Twins Daily should try to avoid posting articles regarding RF, MI and the rotation in a 12 hour span.

Can Correia do anything that DeVries/Hendricks/Walters can't (besides take up 10X the payroll)?

You are much more knowledgeable than me when it comes to the Twins and baseball in general. However, I do think it's fairly clear the Twins don't go after these types of players because they aren't...

"There was a belief that prominent free agents wouldn't sign in Minnesota."

Were prominent FAs unwilling to sign with the Twins or were the Twins unwilling to pay prominent FAs? Maybe it wasn't...

On the bright side, Levi Michael has a chance to solidify New Britain's MI for years to come.

But where will the Twins find the money to sign the Ponsons, Batistas, Castros and Correias of the world in 2019?

Good stuff, Eric. I do have to say breaking down the Twins Opening Day starting options is like ranking the Police Academy movies (Kevin Correia is Police Academy 4: Citizens on Patrol).

Maybe if the Twins org made any effort at fielding a competitive team in the near future. The fact that the Twins did nothing to address the disasters that are their rotation and middle infield leads...

The cynic in me sees this article as pre-emptive rationalization for the Twins continuing to cut payroll and sign players players off the scrap heap. The Orioles are giving the Twins org a perfect...

Anybody with one arm and a pulse has a chance to be a back-of-the-rotation starter for the Twins next year.

Grienke, Hamilton, these examples are all over the place. How many stories have we read about athletes with diabetes?[/QUOTE]

I'm not a psychologist but the difference with Grienke and Hamilton...

Maybe I could have phrased it like "Plouffe's aerophobia became uncontrollable" but now we're nitpicking. Royce White's aerophobia has been well documented and he's still "wasting his time" pursuing...
