In 2015, the Red Wings put together a record of 77-67 for the third straight year (which is really quite remarkable, isn’t it?). They look to improve upon that record in 2016 and bring the International League pla...4567Sun, 03 Apr 2016 20:04:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/minor-leagues/monday-minor-league-report-r4498/FORT MYERS, Fla. - On Monday, the Minnesota Twins sent a team across the state to Jupiter to take on the St. Louis Cardinals. Before they left, Paul Molitor and Terry Ryan informed more players that they were heading to minor league camp. It was pretty quiet by Hammond Stadium, but things are real...4498Tue, 15 Mar 2016 12:35:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/minor-leagues/twins-minor-leaguers-report-to-ft-myers-r4482/Over sixty Twins players officially reported to Major League camp about two weeks ago. Tuesday was officially Minor League report day for the Minnesota Twins. That meant another 143 players were expected to be at the Twins facilities in Ft. Myers.

It is a pipeline that weighs heavily in importance because the Twins are relying so strongly on internally developed players to fuel their rise to contention. Of course, they're n...4481Wed, 09 Mar 2016 06:07:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/minor-leagues/td-top-prospect-1-byron-buxton-r4469/Byron Buxton didn’t exactly announce his presence with authority during his first stint in the majors. Of course that’s nothing new -- even for the game’s most elite prospects find the transition to baseball’s highest level challenging. What turns the game’s most elite prospects into the game’s mo...4469Fri, 04 Mar 2016 06:56:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/minor-leagues/td-top-prospects-2-jose-berrios-r4460/The last two weeks we have been counting down our choices for the Top 20 Minnesota Twins Prospects. We have now reached the top two, and each of those players has the chance to be very special major league players. The Twins drafted a young, skinny right hander named Jose Orlando Berrios with the...4460Thu, 03 Mar 2016 03:35:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/minor-leagues/td-top-prospects-3-max-kepler-r4458/Max Kepler came over to the United States from Germany in 2009 as a scrawny 16-year-old with intriguing yet raw baseball skills. It was quite the contrast from the lean, muscular specimen that flat-out dominated the Southern League last summer before debuting in the majors in September. Age: 23 (...4458Wed, 02 Mar 2016 02:40:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/minor-leagues/floor-to-ceiling-buxton-gordon-kepler-r4456/Prospects can be quite the fickle crop of players. Some turn into All-Stars and others fall to the wayside before reaching their full potential. Developing baseball players from teenagers into young men is not an exact science. For every Byron Buxton and Miguel Sano, there will be a Joe Benson and...4456Tue, 01 Mar 2016 03:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/minor-leagues/td-top-prospects-4-nick-gordon-r4455/I guess if we need to try to find a positive in those 90-loss seasons, it could be that the Twins had a top five pick three years in a row. With each of those three picks, the Minnesota Twins chose a high school player in the June draft. In 2014, the Twins selected Orlando prep shortstop Nick Gord...4455Tue, 01 Mar 2016 03:25:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/minor-leagues/td-top-prospects-5-tyler-jay-r4453/In 2014, the Twins used their second draft pick to select the best collegiate closer in the nation, Nick Burdi, whom I profiled last week as our choice for the 10th-best prospect in the organization. A year later, they once again set their sights on the top closer in college baseball, this time ta...4453Mon, 29 Feb 2016 03:01:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/minor-leagues/td-top-prospects-7-jorge-polanco-r4451/Jorge Polanco has seen limited action with the Twins in each of the last two seasons. Minnesota's use of Polanco in 2015 was unique as he was brought up for one game last June, sent back to Double-A, promoted to Triple-A less than a month later, brought back to the majors for three games, and demo...4451Sat, 27 Feb 2016 02:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/minor-leagues/td-top-prospects-8-alex-meyer-r4448/When the Minnesota Twins acquired pitching prospect Alex Meyer in 2012, Twins general manager Terry Ryan made it clear what the expectations for Meyer’s role would be. “Starter, starter, starter, starter,” Ryan told reporters emphatically.
