I am not alone on this.
Bypassing Huber CouldCost Minnesota Twins
The Twins wound up in a battle with the Chicago White Sox for the AL Central pennant and a playoff berth. It came down to a one-game playoff in Chicago and the White Sox won it. I'll always believe — and Minnesota's brass probably never would concede — that Jones might have helped the Twins win the one more game in September that would've given them the division title outright and avoided the playoff loss to Chicago.

Huber also is enjoying a solid season for the Red Wings. His two home runs Sunday included a walkoff to beat Syracuse 5-4. In 112 games, he has 22 HRs and 76 RBI. He ranks fourth in the IL in both categories. He probably could help the Twins in September, but he's not likely to get the call.

Huber
Its amazing that all the good he has done in the minors is trumped by 100 at bats spread over three seasons.

Anyone want to watch his Age 27 season at The K next year?
I’ve really never cared for Huber, but he could be pretty good if given the chance next year. Then we flip him in the offseason for prospects.
huber's heart is still in KC!
