    This might be oversimplifying things but I thought his struggles in the second half really came down to two things.....1) command, and 2) he looked like he ran out of gas.
  2. HerbieFan
    He is 23 years old. And has already made his major league debut. And flashed ability. What more do we want from him besides stay healthier and continue to improve command? Worst case I think he's a multi-inning bullpen arm.

    Or they would have developed enough mlb ready arms to replace them. Beating a dead horse....another remnant of the failed Falvey tenure is the failure to develop pitching.

    No argument from me

    Hard to nit pick heisting someone from the Rays.
  17. HerbieFan
    One very big difference btw Santana and Koufax....one pitched his for the Dodgers and one pitched most of his prime in Minnesota.
  18. HerbieFan
    If he can consistently harness the command he could be truly terrifying (for hitters of course)!
  19. HerbieFan
    Great question Nick. My dad and I talk Twins a LOT. This is one of the things that has always bothered me. You certainly hit on some of the best (worst?) examples in Megill, Hoffman and Headrick. To me, Headrick is the most frustrating one of the three. Megill was here, I believe, for one season. Hoffman for a spring training. Headrick, however, was in the organization 5-6 years. He was right under their noses and couldn't see it? Falvey was supposed to be a pitching guy....he was not.

    What's next? Let's hope the 2028 rotation.
  21. HerbieFan
    This kid is going to be an elite defensive shortstop. Any plus value he can provide with the bat would be a bonus. If he can provide a .750 OPS I don't care how he gets there b/c he'll also steal 30 bases. Let's stop talking about developing more power.
  22. HerbieFan
    Yep
  23. HerbieFan
    Well done Nick. Agree with almost everything...percentages and all. Given the low cost, I'd think Banda and Nance make sense to bring back as mid-leverage guys.
  24. HerbieFan
    A big riser for me is Marek Houston. I know he was a first round pick. To me he's a big riser because of what he showed. We knew the glove is elite. But the offense has come around in a big way.
  25. HerbieFan
    Like Winokur a lot as well
  26. HerbieFan
    With what pitching costs, if you knew you'd get 130 innings at a 4.50 ERA again I think you'd tender him. But man that 88mph "heater" terrifies me. He is relying solely on extension and deception...not a great recipe. If I had to choose a guess, I'd say they non-tender him.
