    Classic example of a low-risk, high-reward signing....which I'm always in favor of!
  2. HerbieFan
    To be clear, Gabby Gonzalez is likely the big ticket item in this trade. Love Polo as much as anyone but, from a baseball and business perspective, the trade makes sense on so many levels.
  3. HerbieFan
    That's the whole list? Gulp.
  4. HerbieFan
    Want a contrarion ideal? Play Polanco at 2B until Lee is ready and trade Julien for a contollable #2 starter

    I think Funderburk is now in that phase of his career where he will be a constant member of the bullpen. Time at AAA will only be for rehab assignments or if he needs a quick "reset". Kid has nothing left to prove at AAA and has shown he can consistently get MLB hitters out. Put his name in ink coming out of ST.
  6. HerbieFan
    Tough call. I think organizationally, they're better off if Miranda returns to health and 2022 form so that he can platoon with Kiriloff at 1B and DH some.. Polanco can play 2B against lefties, maybe DH some to keep him healthy.

    Do we know which version of the surgery he had?
  9. HerbieFan
    That's it! Doc hit it on the head. Atteberry "tries too hard". Don't tell me the first baseman's toes are "tickling the grass"...just tell me the infield is pulled in. It's baseball, not ballet. We know he's in on the grass if you say he's "pulled in". If Atteberry can stick to basics he'll be fine. I'll still listen.

    Preach. I'd say Gordo was better than "satisfactory" but agree Provus is better. Provus is outstanding. But growing up listening to Herb and that velvet voice....that's Twins on the radio for me
  11. HerbieFan
    Provus is a slam dunk, knock it out of the park replacement. With all due respect, Atteberry isn't my cup of tea. He deserves this shot though, but I'll miss listening to Provus on the radio. One thing...can someone explain to me how we can promise no blackouts when we don't even have a TV contract??
  12. HerbieFan
    The Gray replacement comes via trade. 100%. Wouldn't mind a FA addition to bolster the back end of the rotation and provide insurance for Paddock.
  13. HerbieFan
    With payroll to be somewhat limited, I HIGHLY doubt they invest much FA money into a 1B.
  14. HerbieFan
    I'd guess it'll be Provus. He's SO good. As someone who still enjoys listening to games on the radio, I'd hate to see him move. I'll admit I'm not a big Atteberry fan.

    My opinion, which if you have it and a buck you can get a cup of coffee at the 7-11, is that Balezovic needs to be returned to starting. Doesn't seem like his stuff plays up in a bullpen role. In the 'pen he's just a guy. Injuries derailed the development as a starter. I'd like to see him given one more year there.
  16. HerbieFan
    Of course Lew. I understood the trade at the time....but I didn't like it. CES has so much much upside. I understood it b/c we had this glut of minor league bats. It was dealing from strength to address weakness. Hindsight is always 20/20. I just wish I had been wrong! Go Twins!
  17. HerbieFan
    In an ideal world... 1. Pablo 2. Trade acquisition 3. Ryan 4. Paddack 5. Ober Varland, SWR, maybe Balezovic waiting their turn in St. Paul
  18. HerbieFan
    Now....about that Mahle trade😑
  19. HerbieFan
    I thought Rocco would let him face Maldonado, Altuve and Bregman and then Thielbar to face the lefties. Gave up 3 runs to can't say it didn't work I guess.
  20. HerbieFan
    Ask my dad. Told him in early August I agreed with not making a trade to add anything. However, I'll admit I didn't see Varland and Paddock as legit bullpen additions. Felt like there were players in place that could help the offense....thanks Matt and Eddie for making me right.
  21. HerbieFan
    Ironically, I always felt that one of the reasons the Twins traded Berrios was b/c he didn't want to sign here b/c of Baldellis' quick hooks. Maybe I was wrong , maybe I was right, but Schneider's decision, while great for all of us Twins fans, was an absolute disgrace.
  22. HerbieFan
    If Ryan can return to his first half level I think Maeda to the bullpen makes the most sense. He's the only one with experience out there....and postseason experience at that. Gray is likely a five-and-fly playoff starter so maybe Maeda makes a good piggyback for him.
  23. HerbieFan
    In a word??....No
  24. HerbieFan
    I guess given recent performance, I'd lean more Ryan in the 'pen than Maeda. I wonder if they could get him up a couple ticks on the fastball?
  25. HerbieFan
    Go back and watch the moment he came out wearing that cather's gear for the last time. If that doesn't still give you chills there's something wrong with you. Great player...better man, father and husband. Congrats Joe.
