His team boasts plenty of pitching talent, but Jay is likely the best of the bunch, is left-handed, and boasts a deep starter’s repertoire and secondary skills. But for whatever rea...3720Sat, 30 May 2015 02:13:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/thompson-shedding-yes-man-attitude-flourishing-r3719/Aaron Thompson marches to the beat of his own drum. That probably isn’t a shock to many, as he falls in a number of subsets that we’ve grown accustomed to seeing oddities from. Bert Blyleven will frequently suggest pitchers are a different sort on Twins telecasts, but beyond that Thompson is also...3719Sat, 30 May 2015 00:15:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/quality-pitches-the-key-for-phil-hughes-r3718/The Minnesota Twins are at the top of the American League Central thanks to an unexpected surge in strong starting pitching.

There were no signs tha...3718Fri, 29 May 2015 14:06:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-draft-preview-carson-fulmer-r3716/In the draft, the Minnesota Twins – and other teams – have a tendency to get into patterns. As we know, with their first-round picks the last couple of decades, the Twins have either gone high school hitter or college pitcher. In our draft previews this week, we have already looked at couple of co...3716Fri, 29 May 2015 11:11:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/that39s-the-ticket-old-friends-r3715/The Blue Jays are coming to town this weekend, and bringing some familiar faces. Meanwhile, the Twins are as hot as they've been in half a decade, with a five-game winning streak pushing them 10 games above .500 and into first place.

It was damn near a zen mantra. “Consistencyyyyyy-ooooooommmmmmm”. Two months later consistency has turned into a koan, those conflict...3714Fri, 29 May 2015 01:53:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/what-can-we-expect-from-the-6-pick-r3712/As we continue to review information as the 2015 MLB Draft approaches, I thought it would be interesting to look back at players selected with the sixth overall pick. That is the pick that the Minnesota Twins will make on Monday, June 8. So often, we look at the draft and think that, especially wi...3712Thu, 28 May 2015 06:55:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-draft-preview-kyle-funkhouser-r3709/You can never have too much pitching. It's an old cliche that continues to be repeated, and for good reason: it's true. So even with Minnesota's system experiencing a renaissance of sorts in terms of quality arms, you can be certain that the Twins are closely evaluating several starting pitchers a...3709Thu, 28 May 2015 03:48:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/which-twins-deserve-all-star-consideration-r3708/On Tuesday, Major League Baseball released its first update on position-by-position All-Star Game balloting. No Twins appeared in the Top 5 at any position, which isn't all that surprising considering that no position players on the team have been otherworldly -- a testament to the offense's well-...3708Wed, 27 May 2015 13:34:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/how-is-mike-pelfrey-doing-this-r3707/I warned everyone in April that this might be a real possibility. At that time, just several starts into the 2015 season, the analysis was smothered with caution sauce.

And then he watched the Twins beat the Red Sox 2-1 behind another stellar performance by Mike Pelfrey. OK Paul....3706Wed, 27 May 2015 06:15:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-can-create-believers-on-this-homestand-r3704/We haven't done anything [yet], but we've put ourselves in good position. -- Twins general manager Terry Ryan, 5/25/15 The Minnesota Twins are within striking distance of the AL Central lead in May for the first time since 2010.
