Joel Zumaya was pitching to Delmon Young in the eighth inning of a late June game at Target Field. On a full count, the right-hander reared back and unleashed a 99 mph fastball, which Young fouled off. It was immediately obvious that something went very...28Mon, 16 Jan 2012 05:45:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-add-joel-zumaya-to-the-bullpen-mix-r27/The Twins have frequently been accused of not catering to power arms and also not taking risks on their offseason signings.

For those who are not on Twitter, it simply means that I tweet something that someone else already tweeted. I retweet Twins related articles and blogs or general comments that I tend to agree with. If you’re interested in following me...23Sat, 14 Jan 2012 20:35:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/delmon-vs-revere-r22/Does Revere's Defense Make Up For Delmon's Offense? Last week in a thought exercise, I wondered if who we could expect more out of this year – Delmon Young or Ben Revere. One offensive, one defensive. One defensively laughable, one offensively infuriating. So let’s look, sabrmetrically, at what e...22Sat, 14 Jan 2012 14:47:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/gleeman-and-the-geek-podcast-r21/21Fri, 13 Jan 2012 20:16:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/thoughts-on-payroll-r20/Geoff Baker, a scribe for The Seattle Times, penned a lengthy but very interesting column earlier this week about spending in baseball.

Of course,...19Fri, 13 Jan 2012 16:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/is-nick-blackburn-undervalued-r18/One couldn't be blamed for writing off Nick Blackburn as an afterthought in the Twins' 2012 starting pitching equation.
