The team is eagar to put behind one of the worst seasons in franchise history. There has been quite a shakeup this winter to an organization that lost 99 games in 2011.

Arbitration hearings are to be complete by February 15th. The sides are not to discuss when a hearing is scheduled, so we don’t know when the Twins and Casilla would have a hearing in front of an arbiter. Of course, it...82Sat, 11 Feb 2012 17:58:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/guest-filled-twins-podcast-is-a-success-r81/Last night’s 90-minute SethSpeaks.net Weekly Minnesota Twins podcast was a lot of fun! We talked to Kyle Waldrop about what it was like to finally getting his first big league opportunity after spending eight seasons in the Twins system. He discussed what he did in the offseason to improve and what...81Fri, 10 Feb 2012 15:06:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/sethspeaksnet-weekly-minnesota-twins-podcast-live-at-900-central-time-r79/OK, so the show hasn’t been exactly weekly of late. Frankly, the ratings haven’t been where we would like them to be. However, tonight at 9:00 central time, I’ll be hosting a 90-minute Twins podcast. We’ll get caught up on the goings-on around the Twins as we are now about one week from pitchers and...79Thu, 09 Feb 2012 14:26:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/organizational-depth-chart-the-relief-pitchers-r78/Minnesota Twins Prospect Handbook 2012 – Now Available as an e-book for $6.99 by clicking here.

At least it is for me. I actually really enjoy the offseason. I love hearing rumors, and trying to think about what the Twins could do, and what they will do. Who will they sign? Will there be a trade? From the end of the World Series until...75Tue, 07 Feb 2012 14:22:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/al-central-preview-chicago-white-sox-r74/Sometimes I wonder if the Twins actually have a true “rivalry” with any other MLB team. I think we’re all tired of getting our brains beat in by the Yankees every series, whether in the regular season or post-season, but everyone hates the Yankees and, after all, a true rivalry requires some lev...74Tue, 07 Feb 2012 05:24:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/will-valencia-improve-in-2012-r73/After former Twins third baseman Corey Koskie left before the 2005 season, the Twins had trouble finding a suitable replacement for years. They trotted out such names as Tony Batista, Mike Lamb, Joe Crede, Matt Tolbert and Nick Punto to name a few. Then came the 2010 season when Twins prospect Da...73Tue, 07 Feb 2012 05:21:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/right-around-the-corner-r72/Now that the spectacle of the NFL championship is over, thoughts of green grass, and leather gloves, and wood bats take over baseball fans' minds. Spring Training is right around the corner, and I bet you can't wait. I know I can't. And, by now, it kind of looks like the Twins are done adding pl...72Tue, 07 Feb 2012 05:07:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-sign-bas-indy-league-mvp-r71/The Twins have signed 28-year-old Chris Colabello to a minor league deal. Colabello, a corner infielder for Worcester of the Can-Am League, hit .348/.410/.600 with 20 home runs in 412 plate appearances.
