He might have been the best catcher of his generation and the only thing that stopped th...9379Thu, 28 May 2020 02:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-in-the-2000s-the-2008-season-r9374/With a new general manager and new faces across the roster, the Minnesota Twins were rebooting in 2008. But they were still very much contenders in the AL Central, and would battle for it down to the season's last day. We're running a 20-part series in which we look back at each Minnesota Twins s...9374Thu, 28 May 2020 02:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/is-miguel-san%C3%B3-about-to-have-a-babip-problem-r9385/One adjustment that helped lead to Sanó's great 2019 could be a red flag for the balance of his career. Miguel Sanó will always strike out a lot. In fact, he’ll probably always strike out at a higher rate than that at which any player in baseball history has sustained his caliber of production at...9385Thu, 28 May 2020 01:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/how-the-twins-top-3-pitchers-stack-up-against-each-other-r9384/The Kenta Maeda trade was one that a lot of Twins fans didn’t really like, but could he actually be the best starter in the rotation? Today I look at the last three seasons for Berrios, Odorizzi, and Maeda to see who has been the best. 2017-2019 statistics: Jose Berrios: 537 IP, 3.80 ERA, 3.87 F...9384Thu, 28 May 2020 01:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/2020-mlb-draft-top-50-prospects-31-40-r9386/In the first installment of this series, we looked at the prospects that I have ranked 41st through 50th, in the 2020 MLB Draft.

The clock was counting down on veteran leaders in the lineup and rotation – and also, it turns out, on their long-tenured general manager. We're running a 20-part series in which we l...9373Wed, 27 May 2020 02:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/a-brief-history-of-byrons-in-baseball-r9375/Byron Buxton has a cool name. He seems like a cool guy. But he’s not the first Byron to play in the big leagues. Today we’ll honor Mr. Buxton by taking a look at the Byrons who came before him. But first, a brief history of the name.
