I think this was covered in detail in another post about Gibsons almost no hitter so please forgive if this is a repeat. I see no issue with him staying down for another couple of starts. They...

No one's saying that the team should give up on either one of them completely – in both cases the struggles may be attributable to short-term arm recovery issues – but this notion that they're...

I like this and I agree with earlier posts that have said this is about development for Gibson and not necessarily winning games. He is at approx 50 innings at 1.5 months into the season. That...

This or at least don't throw it in a spot where he has murdered the ball all week. Its almost like giving up. Watching the same mistake happen over and over is very frustrating.

This week Dunn has hit three homers left center, another to center that Hicks pulled back and a double to left center. Is it time to give up on pinging the outside corner with him? Last year at TF...

I think it is interesting what we classify as rookie behavior. At what age were we all taught that hitting a cut-off man is incredibly important or that you keep a bat head high when trying to lay...

Love it. I don't know how Law got that impression. I think he was in Beloit for 1-2 games so likely he meant to imply that it just looked that way during the short observation time he had.
...

The plate discipline that Sano has showed is awesome. The fielding stats are also no small matter. Last year he had 42 errors in 368 chances and this year he has 5 errors in 77 chances. His % has...

In my opinion, HeyChason said to himself, "what can I put on TD to get these folks to fight with each other?" I am being sarcastic but the idea is a little funny. Who will be the first to make a...

I am not saying that Parmalee is a lock for the future because he has much to prove but this business about how he stinks or he "ain't got it" seems crazy to me. He is batting .237 which is 9/38. ...

[QUOTE=josecordoba;101393]Few Thoughts on Hammer

1. The issue though really shouldn't be his value in 2013. Extreme Best Case Scenario (And I Mean Extreme)- The Twins win 80 games. Trading...

What a great thread. John Sickels, Madre Dos and the Usual Suspects are all represented. Last week Cody Christie posted a write up called Wet Wednesday in the Minors and it prompted me to look at...

Yeeouch. Brutal.

Its tough to be original after 70 comments so here goes. I think he should stay long enough to give Ramirez the leave he needs and then go back. Address centerfield with centerfielders. Let him go...

A nice thing I see is that if his performance merits going to AA before the end of this summer, it is not like the fielding is harder. The pitching he will see will jump in quality but the grounders...

I need to come to the next happy hour just to see you people interact face-to-face without throwing hands. Maybe the TD staff will rent one of those Sumo rings so you all can safely kick the crap...

Why does Josmil Pinto not draw more attention?

His line last year between Ft. Myers and NB was .295/.362/.844. He hit 14 homeruns and only played in 117 games. He is 24 and still in AA so that...

I have not been able to watch all the games. How many SOs have been looking and how many swinging?

For me it is a interesting situation because it really tests you as a educated baseball fan. ...

See above posts about Rosario, Sano and Berrios. You will ruin them. Go easy and let them show they should be there. It has been proven that sink or swim does not work because if they sink it is...

I feel they will take last but this will be an improved year. This is just from the hip...offense and defense. And, i am including call ups and shifts that I believe will happen due to trades. ...

I like this post. Thank you. I like the forward thinking and for that reason I am watching the trade bait situations. It will make me sad but they are reality and healthy for the team. It will be...

I can't believe I am going to give this subject any time. Shame on me. Please just look at these stats.

2012: Rangers (2nd in OBP, 6th in HR)
2011: Red Sox (1st in OBP, 3rd in HR)
2010:...

Parmalee's presence behind Plouffe may protect him a bit more also. Teams may be forced to at him more directly than they want to because there is a little more power behind him in the order than...

I think this topic is the key to his offense in '13. I could not believe how they kept pitching him the same way last year during his tear and he kept killing the ball. Having developed a book on...

Thank you Parker. I enjoyed this article.

Last night against the DR, Mauer got to 2-1 and ripped hard at a pitch. Love that. The announcer keyed on it. I will happily take his stats year...
