Gibson will not be on the opening day roster for the Twins. As expected, even though he's physically recovered from his Tommy John surgery, he still has to get good at pitching again. He's got velocity back, but his control is nowhere near where it was before the surgery. He'll need some time in the minors to work that out. I'm still curious as to just who the Twins will have as their five-man (six-man?) rotation when the season starts.
Everyone else is talking confidently that Gibson will join the major league roster "quickly" once the season starts. I'm hoping they let him get his confidence and control back in the minors even if that takes most of the season. If he is the Twins "Golden Child" I don't want to see him until he's ready.
