@Exile in Dixie: Sorry for the grammatical errors. I was at a conference all day and had to reply via my T-Mobile phone. Nevertheless, Kyle Gibson will be better than Baker, more like a Ted Lilly. I think Gibson will have about a 7.5 to 8.0 k/9 ratio with 2.75 BB/9. So a number two starter for fantasy in his prime. That’s his ceiling.

@A Hill O' Beans: Its the entire process thats messed up. Those guys pitch better knowing someone can come into the 9th and stop the bleeding. Now its just a shizz show

@Mr2Bits: I don't know, I mean, when you give up 4 runs in the 6th and 4 more runs in the 7th you can't really complain too much about giving up 1 run in the 9th.

Another loss for Ogando and the Texas bullpen today. Expect to see Feliz back in the closer’s position come weeks end as the offense won’t be able to get a 5 run cushion every game .

@ken plane: The more you doubt Grey the more players you will lose out on. I as well owned Minor and grabbed him with my last pick. He will not get scooped up if Beachy wins the last spot but Beachy very well could. Over my years, I have learned to listen to Grey's hunch or other people in my league might and by that time, it's too late.

A report Tuesday, March 22, that Atlanta Braves SP Brandon Beachy had won the final rotation spot over SP Mike Minor was premature, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s David O’Brien. The team could lean toward Minor to have a left-handed pitcher in a rotation full of righties.

I would not trade Uggla for SP help in Weaver. Uggla could have a monster year, especially given his splits playing away, his average at home was very poor (maybe it was the heat?). If you go by Grey’s rankings, its a no- brainer Uggla – 36, Weaver – 61

@:Matt S.: These are the prospects that gathered/accumulated enough AB or IP in 2010. re:Luke Hughes: I’m not sure he’ll have any reevamce like a Danny Valencia. He could be more of a deep AL-only play if he can play 2B.

@Exile in Dixie: I think he’ll (Gibson) will be better than Baker. He’ll be better than Baker. He’ll be like a Ted Lilly for fantasy. Solid but not spetacular. The decline in ‘s shouldn’t bean isse. He’ll be 7.5 K/9

So how much does the declining strikeout total for Gibson concern you? That is to say, if you’re a Twins fan playing in a mixed league with minors spots, is this guy worth picking up for some mid-season goodness, or does is the early career Scott Baker comp still a good one (er, bad one for fantasy)? I’m inclined to say, “yo, don’t be cute, just punch your league mates to get to the front of the Moosetacos line…”

Question for the Razzball experts: Who’s a better play for my utility spot to start out the year: Chris Johnson or Trumbo? I’m looking for RBIs.

By: Matt S.

Burnett isn’t graduating this year. He’ll be back at AAA. Morales is off the team, too, traded to Col. Am I just not understanding that section?

No love for Luke Hughes? Should at least merit a mention, since he’s a likely call-up if he doesn’t make the team.
