Ivan Herrera comp

[imadangman]

I'm going anywhere between Jose Martinez and Orlando Cepeda. What do you all think.

[JuanAgosto]

Probably closer to Martinez.

TON - without the speed

Well the field of fire here is quite expansive. Somewhere between jose and a HoF.

If he sniffs Cepeda he’ll be great.

[Melville]

Somewhere between Pujols and Ortiz.
Not.

TON - without the speed

Agreed. 30+ HR potential but won’t reach due to spending half year on IL.

We don't know that Herrera will have chronic injury issues just going off this year.
A healthier version of TO w/o the elite speed in LF would work just fine.
An .850 type OPS perhaps, fingers crossed.

2 IL stints while DH'ing says otherwise

No it doesn't, and the latest IL stint was after Catching a game a day or 2 before.
If all he had done is DH this year, that'd be different, but he has caught games sporadically all year, and it's possible as far as we know that both IL's were related to catching.
Also his hamstring issue couldn't have been too bad as he was running good in yesterdays game, including 2 SB's.
Often the 10 day IL's are more precautionary than serious in nature.
