Twins Twitter Travesty: Don't Brag When You're on a Slide: via Bleacher Report - MN Twins May 22, 2013 at 10:09 PM; I like analogies. I think everybody does. This Minnesota Twins team doesn’t really have any good analogous situations to compare itself to. A horrible relationship? No, everybody had pretty low expectations coming into 2013, and you probably shouldn’t have low expectations at the beginning of a relationship. A train wreck that you can’t look away from? Not quite. I didn’t r
4 Things We Learned About the Twins Through the 1st Quarter of the Season: via Bleacher Report - MN Twins May 16, 2013 at 10:09 PM; We’re a quarter of the way through the season and the Minnesota Twins have been surprisingly—dare I say it?—good...or at least better than most people expected. All year long this club has hovered around the .500 mark. The pitching has been subpar, but that was to be expected. The lineup, however, has been better than advertised. Unfortunately, just about everyone has gone throug
Why the Minnesota Twins Are Better Than Their Record: via Bleacher Report - MN Twins May 14, 2013 at 10:09 PM; The Minnesota Twins are currently over .500 and it’s May. I haven’t been able to say that for a while. It seems like forever since the Twins have been over .500 this late into the season, which is sad since the season is only a month and a half old, but that’s how life goes in the frozen wasteland of Minnesota. That being said, the sun is starting to shine and glisten off of the
Minnesota Twins: Looking at the Deepest Positions in the Twins' Farm System: via Bleacher Report - MN Twins May 12, 2013 at 10:09 PM; The Minnesota Twins always put an emphasis on the future. Since the team's renaissance in 2001, the franchise has relied on their minor league system. That trust paid off in several solid players that became franchise cornerstones like Torii Hunter, Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau.But over the last couple of seasons, the Twins system has become bare. Trades and bad decisions by former general manager
Minnesota Twins: 3 Lessons Learned from the Boston Red Sox Series: via Bleacher Report - MN Twins May 10, 2013 at 10:09 PM; This series said a lot about the Minnesota Twins. They were playing the AL East-leading Boston Red Sox after facing the mighty Detroit Tigers and a hot Cleveland Indians team on a 10-game road trip and won three of the four games they played.Not only are the Twins above .500 now at 16-15, but there is also reason to believe that if their rotation can keep them in the game, there’s enough fir
Minnesota Twins Should Send Down Pedro Hernandez, Call Up De Vries or Gibson: via Bleacher Report - MN Twins May 09, 2013 at 10:09 PM; Pedro Hernandez needs to be sent down to Rochester. The Minnesota Twins lefty earned his first win against the mighty Texas Rangers on April 27 and has yet to record an official loss, but the 23-year-old ultimately needs another stint in the minors. Against the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday, Hernandez gave up a four-run lead in the first inning and was removed from the game after giving up six runs
3 Lineup Changes the Minnesota Twins Should Implement: via Bleacher Report - MN Twins May 07, 2013 at 10:09 PM; The Minnesota Twins have a sticky situation where they have a lot of players that can hit the ball for power, but few that can hit for average. On top of that, sluggers like Trevor Plouffe, Ryan Doumit and even Justin Morneau have gone through slumps this year. The one player that does hit well for average, Joe Mauer, topped out at around .360 early in the 2013 and has recently dropped below .300.
Minnesota Twins Prospects Who Have the Highest Ceiling: via Bleacher Report - MN Twins May 06, 2013 at 11:51 PM; Recently I have been writing a lot about the Minnesota Twins' prospects and how promising the future looks for the organization, but now it’s time to get down to brass tacks: Who has the highest ceiling? Everybody knows one of those guys is going to be Miguel Sano; nobody can ignore the beast he projects to be at the major league level, but how did the rest of the list come about? Trust me,
Minnesota Twins: 3 Lessons Learned from the Cleveland Indians Series: via Bleacher Report - MN Twins May 05, 2013 at 10:09 PM; Once again the Minnesota Twins were able to get a victory in the final contest against the Cleveland Indians on Sunday after losing the first two games of the series. Pedro Hernandez was so-so in Game 1, a 6-7 loss, and Kevin Correia, the de facto ace of the staff, took a big step back in a 7-3 loss in Game 2. Fortunately, Mike Pelfrey, who has scuffled a bit this season, was able to go six and st
Minnesota Twins: 3 Players Who Desperately Need to Make an Adjustment: via Bleacher Report - MN Twins May 02, 2013 at 10:09 PM; For the most part, there has not been a ton to complain about this season for Twins fans. By playing .500 baseball, the Minnesota Twins are exceeding expectations in 2013. Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau look like themselves, Chris Parmelee has shown power at the plate and has a cannon for an arm and even Aaron Hicks appears to have turned a corner. In terms of pitching, Scott Diamond looks like hims
Minnesota Twins Top 10 Prospects' April Report Cards: via Bleacher Report - MN Twins May 01, 2013 at 11:51 PM; If you were to tell me at the beginning of the season that the Minnesota Twins would enter into May around .500 (now at .500 after be victorious against the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday afternoon), I definitely would have taken it. If you would have told me that Kevin Correia was going to be the ace of the staff…well, I would have said I told you so. Seriously, I did. Click this. That was, o
Minnesota Twins: 3 Lessons Learned from the Detroit Tigers Series: via Bleacher Report - MN Twins May 01, 2013 at 10:09 PM; It almost seemed as though the Minnesota Twins won one-and-a-half games against the Detroit Tigers in their most recent series in Motown. The Twins led 3-1 after five in Game 1, but starter Mike Pelfrey had a brutal sixth inning. They lost the “Verlander Game” 6-1, but that’s no surprise given that they had to face, ahem, Justin Verlander. Then they picked up a 6-2 victory in a g
Minnesota Twins: Why Kevin Correia's Early-Season Performance Can't Be Trusted: via Bleacher Report - MN Twins April 29, 2013 at 10:09 PM; Kevin Correia has been one of the early surprises for the Minnesota Twins in the 2013 season. The journeyman starter was signed to a two-year deal over last winter, and drew comparisons to Jason Marquis due to his purely National League track record in 10 major league seasons.Twins fans might recall that the Marquis experiment in 2012 didn't go as planned (he was released by the team in late May),
How Should the Twins Approach Trading Josh Willingham and Justin Morneau?: via Bleacher Report - MN Twins April 25, 2013 at 05:13 PM; It sounds absurd that a winning season is a possibility for the Minnesota Twins in 2012-13, but early in the year they have surprised everyone by winning opening series against the Detroit Tigers and Baltimore Orioles, and going on a five-game win streak Many people around the league had the Minnesota placed dead last in the AL Central and thought that the team would end up dealing their two slugg
Minnesota Twins: 3 Lessons Learned from the Miami Marlins Doubleheader: via Bleacher Report - MN Twins April 24, 2013 at 03:31 AM; On Tuesday, the Minnesota Twins went from playing baseball just about every day to playing twice in a 24-hour period. That’s the reality of playing in a city where for some reason it is still snowing in April. “It’s been a long day of baseball and you knew that’s what’s going to happen when you play a split doubleheader like that,” said manager Ron Gardenhire, w
Stock Up, Stock Down: Minnesota Twins' Top 10 Prospects for Week of April 15: via Bleacher Report - MN Twins April 22, 2013 at 11:01 PM; Wouldn’t it be great to talk about the week that was for the Minnesota Twins? I know I would love to, but we’d only have four games to talk about. Granted, the Twins are 4-0 in that span, but thanks to weather and off-days the big league club didn’t get too many contests in.Down on the farm, though, a lot of ball was played. So let’s check in on some of the top farm hands a
Minnesota Twins: 3 Lessons Learned from the Chicago White Sox Series: via Bleacher Report - MN Twins April 21, 2013 at 06:31 PM; With the emergence of the Detroit Tigers as the team to beat in the AL Central, some Minnesota Twins fans are claiming that the biggest rivalry games will be played in Motown. I still believe that the Chicago White Sox are Minnesota’s biggest division rival. Not only did the White Sox spend time in St. Paul in its earliest days before moving to the South Side, but Chicago is also closer in p
Twins Minor Leaguers Who Will See Time in the Majors in 2013: via Bleacher Report - MN Twins April 18, 2013 at 12:19 AM; This article has in the title “Who Will See Time in the Majors in 2013”, but right now a lot of fans are just wishing we’d just see any baseball being played at Target Field. What was supposed to be a six-game homestand with three against the New York Mets and three against the Los Angeles Angels quickly turned to two against each. The Twins turn their attention to a weekend seri
Minnesota Twins: 4 Lessons Learned from the First Two Games of the Angels Series: via Bleacher Report - MN Twins April 17, 2013 at 10:19 PM; For the second series in a row, the Minnesota Twins have not played all three games against their opponent. This time, the third game of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim was cancelled due to rain. Neither team is happy about it. The Angels will have to fly in for a single game later in the year and Minnesota will have a packed schedule—especially if this weather continues. “It’s
Minnesota Twins: Selecting the Twins' All-Time Dream Team: via Bleacher Report - MN Twins April 15, 2013 at 11:37 PM; The Minnesota Twins have had their share of great players since their relocation from Washington prior to the 1961 season.While the Twins are not on the level of some of the older franchises in Major League Baseball, the team has had star power that has helped them to two World Series Championships and three American League pennants.As another year begins for the Twins, it's a good time to review
