October 17, 201214 yr "a slider that was christened by Baseball America in January as the “best” slider in the Twins’ system" Isn't that a bit like winning silver in the Special Olympics?
October 17, 201214 yr I'm assuming Liriano being at the Major League level meant Gibson's wasn't being compared against it?
October 17, 201214 yr Very positive. a 2 mph increase in his FB makes a huge difference, and could vault his ceiling to a number 1 IMO. Especially if his slider and change are plus pitches. He would then have a plus plus FB and 2 plus secondary pitches. I can't wait to see him in the MLB.
October 17, 201214 yr Regardless of how we all feel he should be used next year, this is encouraging news.

Which is good enough news for me.

Which is good enough news for me. Most people consider the bolded portion above the definition of a #1 pitcher. The additional part of the definition that we don't know yet is health.
