Would you rather he didn't play? Doubtful they would bench Morneau.

I imagine him or Doumit get a lot of time on RF with Arcia being most in trouble.

You are aware that Ryan hasn't done this yet right? This is idle speculation - the odds are overwhelming this doesn't happen.

I put it at least 50/50 he makes his debut in September. That is an appropriate timetable.

It is definitely a factor, as the more years Price is away from free agency the cheaper the extension will be for those years. Those millions saved have value to franchise and influence the package...

Any idea if McLouth is decent in CF? Hasn't played this year, barely played last, and numbers aren't too kind before that. A stopgap, one year CF would have been nice but I never really thought...

Yes, this is why it should have been Gibson. I still think there is a little flexibility on the back end, but there will be no competitive reason to push it.

I'm not sure this is true. The Rays certainly have had elite prospects that they move quickly (as any team would), but they are generally in the Twins class when it comes to patience. The Rays...

Maybe this is yet another example that merely looking at a stat line doesn't tell you everything.

Scouts thought it was a little quick for his bat last year (it was altough he wasn't crushed) and...

I don't think Gibson is necessarily on a strict innings limit a la Strasburg, probably more of a range. Almost certainly will be shut down early.

I'm upset with this move. What are they waiting...

That "skill" would probably be weeded out as a playet moved up the minors.

I'm shocked an elite high school athlete would try to increase their leverage to make more money.

I agree with this completely.

Maybe we don't disagree all that much. I would agree with you that Hicks wouldn't be on the opening day roster if he didn't have a good spring, but he wouldn't have been in that position if he...

And as mentioned why not let the kids try to win. Gibson should have been up two starts ago.

These are of course separate issues. I actually think the timing mentioned regarding Arcia and Gibson are not quite accurate. I thought Arcia cleared the threshold and Gibson would need more time...

Interesting that from those quotes you came to those conclusions.

I think Ryan is more talking about Hicks breakthrough in AA than performance in spring training and he went out of his way to say...

This.

Yes. That would be a huge issue with the union and is generally an unethical move.

This thread is more evidence that no matter what the Twins front office does it will be criticized. If they call up young guys it is either too early or they are cheap because they didn't sign a...

I would add Bard and Chargois, but I have a feeling Chargois won't pitch 20 more innings in the Twins org.

I don't remember this conversation but I'm pretty sure we could make 7-8 spots with very little trouble.

Also it is a small point but you use the 60 day DL at the same time as adding to the 40 man.

I'm curious what rhetoric from Ryan you are referring to?

The counter is that Gibson has been inconsistent. The counter to that is that given the state of the Twins staff, who cares? Definitely worth an opportunity to see if he can give the staff a shot...

For me I want about 90% of tweets to be about baseball, the Twins, or interaction with fans/questions. Less than that and I generally won't follow.

Seth, I appreciate the work you do but the...
