Now he is left wondering when the season will begin and how that will impact his eventual call-up. Rooker was kind enough to answer fiv...9173Tue, 31 Mar 2020 02:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/minor-leagues/the-changes-made-to-the-2020-mlb-draft-as-a-result-of-covid-19-r9169/Major League Baseball, much like the rest of the world, is being hit hard by the fallout from COVID-19. We all know about the start of the regular season being pushed back, however, that is not the only thing in being affected, as the MLB Draft was in serious danger of not happening at all. Fortun...9169Sun, 29 Mar 2020 20:31:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/minor-leagues/seth39s-spring-training-standouts-2020-edition-r9164/For the past six or seven years, I have gone down to Minnesota Twins spring training in Ft. Myers. I most enjoy spending time down on the minor league fields, head on a swivel, watching prospects do their work, practice and play games. It’s fun to see the top prospects in action, but for me it’s a...9164Fri, 27 Mar 2020 04:34:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/minor-leagues/twins-2019-20-international-free-agency-review-r9143/Over the span of just a couple of months in the summer of 2009, the Twins added the trio of Jorge Polanco, Max Kepler and Miguel Sano. In doing so, they shelled out just $4.675 million. On the cheap, the team added three players who have become big parts of the nucleus of the 2020 Twins and all ha...9143Wed, 25 Mar 2020 14:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/minor-leagues/narrative-have-the-twins-promoted-college-pitchers-slowly-r9109/Sometimes narratives, baseball or other, get into circulation, and once they do, it seems that they are hard to get rid of. I have probably (unfortunately) started some, and I am sure that I have passed along some without doing any research. Of course, I think we all agree that a little data to ei...9109Sun, 15 Mar 2020 19:04:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/minor-leagues/get-to-know-marshall-kelner-mighty-mussels-broadcaster-r9087/While in Ft. Myers, I chatted with Ft. Myers broadcaster Marshall Kelner in the Hammond Stadium press box on the team's scheduled off day. Kelner is a Minnesota native who has worked in several minor league cities in his young professional career. We discussed growing up as a Twins fan, going into...9087Wed, 11 Mar 2020 00:58:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/minor-leagues/miranda-searches-for-new-heights-in-2020-r9085/Last month, Twins Daily ranked infielder Jose Miranda as the Twins #20 prospect. Last week, he arrived in Ft. Myers for his fourth spring training. Twins Daily caught up with the slugger to discuss several topics including being drafted, his strengths, what he’s working on, and his world-famous co...9085Tue, 10 Mar 2020 01:58:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/minor-leagues/the-twins-2018-draft-class-is-loaded-with-talent-r9074/Following their first postseason appearance since the inaugural season of Target Field, the Minnesota Twins found themselves in an unfamiliar position, as they didn’t have their first selection until the 20th pick of the 2018 MLB Draft. Factor that in with it being the first draft following the Tw...9074Sat, 07 Mar 2020 22:41:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/minor-leagues/are-twins-top-prospects-being-held-back-by-loaded-mlb-roster-r9060/Earlier in the week, I looked at Minnesota’s depth across the board and it makes it tough not to be excited about the club’s chances in 2020. That being said, one group of players might be being held back because of the team’s loaded big-league roster. For better or for worse, Minnesota’s top pros...9060Thu, 05 Mar 2020 03:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/minor-leagues/get-to-know-twins-outfield-prospect-willie-joe-garry-jr-r9061/After the Minnesota Twins made him their ninth-round pick in the 2018 draft, Willie Joe Garry Jr. struggled in his professional debut.

After another offseason of work, he hopes to take...9061Wed, 04 Mar 2020 03:28:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/minor-leagues/3-twins-prospects-josh-donaldson-can-help-the-most-r9024/Josh Donaldson was brought to Minnesota because of his MVP-level play on the field, but his impact off the field might be even more important to the organization. Minnesota hasn’t had an MVP since 2009 when Joe Mauer took home the hardware. Now the Twins have signed a former MVP and Josh Donaldson...9024Tue, 25 Feb 2020 03:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/minor-leagues/twins-daily-2020-top-prospects-recap-r9003/We've spent the past couple weeks profiling our picks for the Top 20 (and beyond) prospects in the Minnesota Twins organization.
