    I hated Tom Herr as a kid, but, looking bad at it, what did he do tht was so bad? Its not like he submarined the team. They won 6 more games in 1988 than in 1987. It was 1989 and 1990 when they flipped him for the terrible Shane Rawley and tried Wally Backman and Al Newman at 2nd base that they had losing records. He gave them 345 PA of above average offense (from a 2nd baseman) with an 89 OPS+ and decent defense depending on what metric you're looking at. Doesn't this sort of sound like JJ Hardy? They gave up a decent player for him (Bruno/Gomez) and then too quickly gave up on the new aquistion because they didn't feel like he was on the field long enough (too injury prone in a pretty small sample size). In Hardy's case they misguidingly wanted more speed and in Herr's case they possibly didn't like his religious influence (atlthough was that overblown?)

    Jim Kaat was a pretty good hitter, part of the reason I have him ahead of Blylevelen who was the superior pitcher. Kaat could hit and field and played a little bit longer as a Twin than Bert.

    FYI-the YRS column is a little misleading. Its "Years Started" so Mitterwald was onlty the starting catcher 4 seasons even if he was there for 7. Johan for example was only one of the 5 starting pitchers 4 years even though he was a Twin for 8 (and in 2003 was their best starter, receiving Cy Young votes, starting game1 of the ALDS even though he was 6th on the team that year in starts)

    5 new Twins added to the list this year (Hughes, Santana, Suzuki, Escobar, Gibson). Joe can't get ahead of TonyO, but he's almost there in my mind. Dozier jumps into the top100, Plouffe into the top150. https://wgom.org/2014/10/13/one-mans-opinion-of-the-top300-twins-of-all-time-updated-for-2014-with-new-additions-hughes-santana-suzuki-escobar-gibson/ Thoughts?

    Glad to see they made what I feel is the right choice and made their peace with the Chucker. So who will be the next ex-Twin to retire between Santana/Hunter/Morneau/Nathan so they can start electing them rather than reach to the Tovars/Koskies/Brunos/Goltzs?

    I agree with almost everything you say. Yes Gagne and Guardado seemed like reaches to me and yes the only way to not dilute the HOF is not guarantee a member every year (like Milwaukee is currently doing). However I don't think Cuddyer is one of those inner-circle guys. Based on where I have him ranked as you can see from the link he's mor in line with the Brunanskis/Koskies and others who aren't in yet.

    I believe its sortable if you click on the columns and you could sort by either Fan Graphs or B-ref's calculations of WAR.

    Any guesses on who is announced this weekend as the newest member of the Twins Hall of Fame? Will they finally get the deserving Knoblauch in despite his baggage? Will they reach on someone like Dan Gladden and open themselves up for ridicule like the Kansas City Royals low standards? By my rankings after Knoblauch, Cesar Tovar is the most deserving of eligible Twins. http://wgom.org/2013/10/01/one-mans-opinion-of-the-top300-twins-updated-with-2013-stats/

    What do you think? Should Mauer have passed Tony O? Should the Canadian have passed the Chucker? Did Dozier's one good season skyrocket him too far or not enough? https://wgom.org/2013/10/01/one-mans-opinion-of-the-top300-twins-updated-with-2013-stats/
