Julien is playable. But watch them long enough and you will know what I’m talking about. Which makes it even more mind boggling that Polanco can’t play third to save his life.
Oh, I don't think he will ever be as good a defender as Polanco.
Maybe he'll turn into Corey Koskie. He was brutal defensively early on and turned himself into a borderline gold glover.
And yeah, if Lewis got hurt next year, Polanco at 3rd and Julien at 2nd is an awful idea.
Lack of arm strength. Plus third requires quicker twitch than playing 2nd. Not everyone can do it.
Most likely the Twins will sign both Kepler and Polanco after the WS. A lot of speculation on one (or both) being traded for pitching. The other big decision will be who they put in CF.
Sounds like the Twins decided to go in a different direction. Wasn’t Bremer’s choice.
This sucks.... not a good move by the Twins if true.
Given the amicable tweets all around and Bremer still having an official role with the Twins I suspect it's a bit more complicated than just being forced out.
Provus is really good. I listened to most of the games on the radio this year due to the horrible TV options in Iowa. Innings 4-6 with Gladden doing play by play were rough. Gladden is good at color but not play by play.
It was announced that Cory Provus is taking over for **** Bremer on TV broadcasts, but the bigger news is that it sounds like blackouts will go away. That is huge for people living in Iowa.
I intensely dislike Chris Atterbury as the radio play by play guy and he's the one taking over for Provis. I listen to the broadcasts more than I watch them on TV, because that's the way I grew up following the Twins, listening to Herb Carneal on the radio broadcasts. Still remember going to bed when I was in high school with a transistor radio held to my ear when the Twins were on a western road trip.
