Earlier in the week, we learned that lefty Stephen Gonsalves would get the start, and on Wednesday, we saw the Twins lineup for the game.

Mature, wise, and self-aware beyond his years, Lewis possesses an extremely rare makeup that has many peo...6425Wed, 21 Feb 2018 03:49:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/minor-leagues/twins-daily-2018-top-prospects-2-fernando-romero-r6422/Fernando Romero was Twins Daily’s top prospect last season, but it was easy to predict that he’d be unseated. Even a year ago at this time, it would have been a pretty safe bet to pencil in the future No. 1 overall pick of the 2017 MLB Draft in this season’s top spot. Still, Romero faced plenty of...6422Tue, 20 Feb 2018 03:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/minor-leagues/twins-daily-top-prospects-3-nick-gordon-r6418/Nick Gordon might be one of the most polarizing prospects in the Minnesota Twins system. All of the national prospect rankings have him in their top-100 lists but he comes in all over the board. Two of the rankings have him at 80 or lower. Meanwhile, two other rankings have him in the top-40.

One is known for a killer curveball. Today’s pitcher isn’t known for either of those things and yet he was likely the easiest choice to make when the front office was considering who to add to the 40-man...6414Fri, 16 Feb 2018 03:17:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/minor-leagues/twins-daily-2018-top-prospects-5-alex-kirilloff-r6407/Tommy John surgery can be a scary proposition especially for young players going under the knife. Luckily, the Twins have seen players successfully return from surgery and have a major impact at the big league level. One needs to look no further than Miguel Sano to find a Twins position player who...6407Thu, 15 Feb 2018 02:25:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/minor-leagues/twins-daily-2018-top-prospects-6-wander-javier-r6406/When the Twins signed international free agent Wander Javier to a franchise-record $4 million bonus in 2015, they knew it would be a long road ahead for the 16-year-old. Although the immensely skilled infielder is still only beginning to embark upon that road, he's already leaving his imprint, and...6406Wed, 14 Feb 2018 05:08:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/minor-leagues/seth39s-twins-on-deck-podcast-episode-6-r6405/On Monday night, Episode 6 of Seth's Twins On Deck Podcast went live. It is available here for you to listen to. In this episode, Seth chatted with two right-handed pitchers who had tremendous 2017 seasons in Cedar Rapids. He also spoke with another member of the Minnesota Gophers program as they...6405Tue, 13 Feb 2018 04:58:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/minor-leagues/twins-daily-2018-top-prospects-7-brent-rooker-r6404/The Twins drafted Brent Rooker in the 38th round of the 2016 draft following this third year at Mississippi State. He chose to go back to school for another year. It was a great decision. He his .397/.495/.810 (1.305) with 30 doubles, 23 home runs and 82 RBI. He won the SEC’s Triple Crown, the fir...6404Tue, 13 Feb 2018 02:35:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/minor-leagues/twins-daily-2018-top-prospects-8-blayne-enlow-r6401/Trouble with the curve: An old baseball phrase as trite and cliché as the Clint Eastwood movie titled after it. But as the game has evolved, that cliché has never lost its relevance. The curveball remains a mystical entity, difficult for pitchers to master and even more so for hitters to solve. Bl...6401Mon, 12 Feb 2018 02:38:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/minor-leagues/the-2018-sixth-year-minor-leaguers-r6396/Last year at this time, there were five players from the 2011 draft still in the Twins minor league system. At the end of the 2017 season, they became minor league free agents if they were not on a 40-man roster. None of those five players remains in the Twins organization at this time. The 2012 d...6396Fri, 09 Feb 2018 04:52:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/minor-leagues/twins-daily-2018-top-prospects-9-brusdar-graterol-r6394/Ace. It’s the card the Twins have so desperately needed over the course of much of their history. There’s always a lot of debate over exactly who deserves that title, but most agree it’s probably fewer than 20 pitchers in all of baseball at any given time. Could Brusdar Graterol some day earn that...6394Fri, 09 Feb 2018 02:40:00 +0000
