    Do any of them pitch out of the bullpen? :)
  2. HerbieFan
    At 26, I think his path forward is clear given where and why he's struggled. It's the 'pen for me.
  3. HerbieFan
    Precisely. Developing a bunch Simeon Woods-Richardsons does not constitute a "pipeline". Hopefully there is some better arms coming...
  4. HerbieFan
    I agree to a point. In terms of spending, unrealistic expectations, etc., yes they did. However, under Falvey the Twins' player development has been anemic at best. That, not the lack of overspending, has been their biggest issue.
  5. HerbieFan
    I don't mind the move. No risk. Some potential upside...emphasis on "potential". Easily expendable if/when it doesn't work out.
  6. HerbieFan
    ....Jeff Hoffman...Tyler Wells as a starter...Trevor Megill...Yennier Cano............
  7. HerbieFan
    Thank you for not putting Outman on there. An I think I'd rather see Prielipp in the pen than Klein
  8. HerbieFan
    It's make-or-break time for Matty
  9. HerbieFan
    How do we get more Pablo Lopez's on the roster????
  10. HerbieFan
    Hey Tom....I'll be skinny. See, saying it out loud doesn't make it true!
  11. HerbieFan
    Simply put....they have to replace him with someone from an organization that showed itself capable of developing players through the major league roster.
  12. HerbieFan
    FO and ownership says they think the team can compete in the division. Whether that's delusional or not remains to be seen. Keeping both catchers follows the preferred path for Falvey. I 100% think they will carry out the plan to start the season. The trade deadline, however, is another matter.....
  13. HerbieFan
    I wonder what the over/under on Orlando Arcia starts at SS is??
  14. HerbieFan
    Well-deserved. Met him on the caravan several years ago. Nice guy.
  15. HerbieFan
    At that price, I see exactly zero downside. If he posts same or similar numbers to last year, it's a bargain. The fact that it's a "homecoming" is just a nice little side bonus.
  16. HerbieFan
    I'd be shocked if Outman makes the opening day 26-man. They gave up Brock Stewart for him, so the investment was extremely minimal. Martin can play CF in a pinch. If Buxton gets hurt, I'd sooner see ERod in center than Outman. FO needs Rhoden to open the season on the roster after giving up Varland for him and Rojas.
  17. HerbieFan
    I'll take door #3 please...
  18. HerbieFan
    Thanks Nick. Always appreciate the work. Some are questioning the bullpen arms listed. With what they (don't) have right now in the bullpen I don't know where people think the 'pen arms are going to come from? It HAS to be guys like Prielipp, etc.. If they were to sign/trade for more established mlb bullpen arms, then maybe they don't need as many of the "starter-turned-reliever" types. I've seen speculation about guys like Zebby, Festa, etc. being moved to the bullpen. I'd prefer to give them the start of the season as starters as sort of a "last chance". By mid-season if they haven't stepped up, then I'd be more enthusiastic about moving them to the 'pen.
  19. HerbieFan
    Wait....there's a "pipeline"??
  20. HerbieFan
    Guys....read the article. Jackson is out of options. He ain't going to St.Paul.
  21. HerbieFan
    They certainly could carry all three through most of Spring Training. Then decide what the move is. Clearly, Caratini will be on the 26-man and I like the move. Can Jeffers be moved for an entire bullpen?!?!
  22. HerbieFan
    This confirms it....the Pohlads and their mouthpiece Falvey are not on tone deaf toward Twins fans but also the players. It's 500K for crying out loud. Give him the money.
  23. HerbieFan
    Well, he was very good at playing the outfield. Buck is a gold glover. Larnach and Wallner are DHs masquerading as outfielders. Here's hoping he can help the young guys get better.
  24. HerbieFan
    "Briefly inquired"....'last month"....thanks Doogie. Nothing to see here.
  25. HerbieFan
    Now the real test....develop a few into good major leaguers, a process SORELY lacking under Falvey and Baldelli. Maybe Shelton and his staff can do a better job.
