No love for Baseball Prospectus Thad? Let's get him in and go to work. Might as well do what he can to strengthen as many departments as possible. i do like the idea that he's out there constantly searching for good people. Instead of just hiring a few and saying yeah we are good now.

I haven't seen much talk on when the 5th starter will be needed. I know that early in the season you can usually skip that 5th starter anyway. Not that we need to keep May down for more team control but if he isn't going to pitch for the Twins why not continue to stretch him out at AA and actually let him pitch? Clearly if Meyer or May were ready in the next month we've got a log-jam in the rotation. I mean is it really a log-jam if Milone, Ricky N or anyone else is falling apart? I imagine Hughes/Santana are off limits but if Gibson has a bad month is he safe? Assuming that someone is tearing it up in AAA. At the same time how much do we put on the staff and how much do we put on the defense? Especially the outfield defense.
