Did these 10 players struggle the most during their Twins career?

ChatGPT 4 is all the rage these days. If you do not know what ChatGPT, ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot developed by OpenAI and released in November 2022. It is built on top of OpenAI's GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 foundational GPT large language models (LLMs) and has been fine-tuned (an approach to transfer learning) for conversational applications using both supervised and reinforcement learning techniques. It can be a lot of fun to ask it questions about the Minnesota Twins. What

Welcome to the make believe 2023 Minnesota Twins. Game 1.

M I have always been a big fan of simulations. I thought simulating each Minnesota Twins game this season and comparing it to the real world would be fun. OOTP baseball is a baseball simulation that will work perfectly for this exercise that literally has no point except to entertain me for the next six months or so. I may be unable to write something and post daily so I may only do this after each series. You can read more about OOTP baseball here. https://www.ootpdevelopments.c

Tony Gwynn 2.0?

The Minnesota Twins have recently re-signed Carlos Correa if you have yet to hear. Re-sparked trade rumors surrounding Max Kepler and Luis Arraez are swirling. I understand packaging these two players to acquire a high-end starting pitcher. I would have to be mesmerized by a deal to trade Arraez. His abilities and skillset are too unique. Here are the top 10 comparisons on baseball-reference.com and when they played Major League Baseball. Fred Tenney (1894 – 1909 and 1911) Jo-Jo Moor

Draft thoughts from the past (2011)

Sometimes I like to get lost on baseball-reference.com just to see what I can find. Today I found myself looking at the Minnesota Twins draft classes since 2000. Here are a few thoughts that I had: The 2014 and 2015 draft by the Minnesota Twins looks like it will be not good. Like really not good. There is still a small bit a hope though trade trees and maybe one or two guys breaking through it might be just "ok". The 2011 draft class looks like one of the worst draft classes the Twins

The Ones That Got Away

I know this story is not unique to the Minnesota Twins. Every year prospects are traded before they ever play an MLB game with the team that drafted them. Every year players decide not to sign with the team that drafted them and go the college route. That does not mean we cannot reminisce on Twins players that could have been. Looking through some draft history here are some names that would have looked pretty good in a Twins uniform. Brian Anderson, 3rd basemen Miami Marlins Anderson

Does the computer think Joe Mauer is a HOFer?

I have always been intrigued by simulations. Pretend worlds are a lot of fun. I will get into more of that in a moment. For now, I would like to tell the Twins fan base that I do believe Joe Mauer is a hall of famer. 6 all-star appearances 3 batting titles at catcher 1 MVP 55.2 WAR .388 Career OBP .306 Career BA Of course, if Joe Mauer played his whole career at catcher, he is first ballot with no debate. That did not happen though. He last caught in 2013 and

Hi My Name Is

Hello Twins Territory. My name is Jason and I would like to introduce myself. I have been watching the Twins since…well maybe when I was a young boy in 1987. I’m currently living near North Dakota but will be relocating to downtown Minneapolis this week if the closing does not fall through last minute. I don’t need an Alex Colome type April 2021 on this one. I am hoping to do some writing about the Twins here on Twins Daily. Maybe daily, but maybe not. Let’s see how this goes for a bit first. I
