My choice: Benson.

He's hitting .192. He's got 50K vs 10 BB in AAA. He's either got to be DFAed or sent back down to AA as a 25-year-old.


I'll throw one more thing out which is just pure...

OK, I'll be the contrary one.

I don't believe this has much to do with Gibson's Super-2 status. It might be one aspect on that side of the equation, but it's a small thing. The big things,...

I'm glad to hear it.

FYI - Andrew has been covering the New Britain Rock Cats for us.

It would definitely be easier for the Astros with their $7.9M slot for #1. If they sign Moran at a #3 slot value (which is more than he'll get otherwise), that gives them about $3.6M of slot money to...

Above Gausman, who was fourth.

Re: Jose Berrios

Hmm. This could be what the Twins have in mind if they try to save some money on that 4th overall pick. If the first three go Gray, Appel and Bryant & Twins can take one of any of the next college...

Rumors persist that the Twins might make a deal for less than slot with a lower ranked prospect to allow them to use that money on their second or third round pick. On it's face, and given the...

Agree. We can't have it both ways. We can't enter the season and, based on the roster, say this is a 7-win team, and then when they're on pace for 71 wins, say "We need to make a change at manager."

Me too.

By itself, I'll be happy with those names except McGuire or Moran. I would NOT be shocked if this board is goin ballistic the day after the first round as the Twins save money on that pick in the...

Please, lord, keep these boys healthy. I don't ask for much. But please keep them healthy.

It comes down to this: it's just plain laziness to copy and past instead of summarize it. It takes about two minutes to summarize and 10 seconds to copy and paste. Here, time me....

- The Twins...

Twins Twerp,

I appreciate the feedback. We get feedback on both sides of the equation - some really like that part and some want no part of it. It's kind of a balancing act for now. I don't really...

He just hasn't had any kind of sustained success. Holding AAA hitters to those numbers isn't particularly impressive. I see some bad starts, some great starts and a lot of mediocre starts. If he...

I don't have a problem with bringing up Gibson, I'm just neutral on it. Like I said, I'd be perfectly OK with moving Hernandez to the bullpen and I'd have Pelfrey on a very short leash.

But I...

Before I put this topic out here, I'd like to request that this be a positive thread. If you want to be critical or a writer, start your own thread.

Who is your favorite local baseball writer?...

I'm a little baffled by the vehemence being expressed that Gibson needs to be in the rotation right now. It feels like it has more to do with frustration of Pelfrey, Hernandez, etc than belief in...

Huh. I gotta say, I had overlooked this 27-year-old completely. And I don't mean this year. I mean every year.

He's been pretty good for three years now - not the greatest strikeout rate, but he...

I can't get too worked up about not promoting Gibson - the "no scholarships" thing should apply to him, too. Let's be honest - he hasn't exactly been kicking the door down. One could make a case that...

I uploaded my spreadsheet to Google Docs and provided a link in the story. Thank Willihammer for reminding me we could do that.

That BB%-R number is a little alarming. When you say "going back to...

Thanks for that link. If OPS has a .92 correlation, I expect BA is a bit lower, like in the .8 range.

But the more general point is that we're pretty good at knowing what additional stats (like...
