In each of the last three seasons, Eddie Rosario has hit like a star for about half a year, then been average (or considerably wo...9333Thu, 14 May 2020 02:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/ranking-the-alnl-central-teams-10-6-r9331/If there is going to be a baseball season in 2020, there is a possibility that divisions will combine. If that is the case, how would the AL/NL central teams rank against each other? I tried figuring that out. 10. Detroit Tigers 2019 batting WAR: -2.6 2019 pitching WAR: 11.2 Total WAR: 8.6 Key...9331Thu, 14 May 2020 01:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/how-the-mlb%E2%80%99s-latest-plan-might-benefit-the-twins-r9324/At The Athletic, Ken Rosenthal recently wrote about the latest details on baseball’s plan to return. The plan calls for an 80-game season (approximately) that would have teams hosting games at their home ballparks and only traveling within their region. Today, we’ll look at one possibility that Ro...9324Wed, 13 May 2020 02:01:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/everyone-hits-as-baseball-embraces-the-dh-r9328/For years I have argued that pitchers hitting remains among the silliest things in the sport. Despite playing at the same level, the National League has run out watered down lineups for decades. Although there’s been plenty of discussion regarding a universal DH rule, it took a global pandemic to...9328Wed, 13 May 2020 01:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/mlb%E2%80%99s-2020-draft-will-hurt-the-twins-r9322/Few if any high school baseball games were played this spring and college baseball saw their schedules ended almost before it could get started. For MLB organizations, evaluating talent leading into the 2020 MLB Draft is going to bring challenges never experience by front offices. Now, baseball an...9322Tue, 12 May 2020 02:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/which-196039s-minnesota-twins-team-was-the-best-r9326/The 1960's were a bit of a golden era for Twins baseball. They had just taken up residence in Minnesota and put together some competitive teams. Which of those teams was the best team? The 1960’s were quite the decade for Minnesotans as they welcomed the Twins into the state from Washington D.C....9326Tue, 12 May 2020 02:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/the-show-must-go-on-bashing-into-the-all-star-break-r9327/We have arrived at the All-Star break in our interactive simulated 2020 season on MLB The Show. I am pleased to report that, thanks to your help, our Minnesota Twins are in first place with the third-best record in baseball. We sent five players to the All-Star Game, and one prospect to the Future...9327Tue, 12 May 2020 01:32:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/do-the-twins-need-to-shift-better-r9325/One accounting shows that the Twins shifted inefficiently in 2019. They might need to tweak their shifting paradigm in order to thrive defensively in the future. Only two teams used more total defensive shifts than the Minnesota Twins in 2019, but the team was barely above-average in terms of net...9325Tue, 12 May 2020 01:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/breaking-down-the-latest-steps-toward-a-2020-mlb-season-r9323/It's now been about one month since I wrote here that I was giving up on the viability of a 2020 MLB season of record (and John disagreed.) Since then, some things have changed, and others have not. Given the flurry of recent developments and revelations, this feels like a good time to reassess th...9323Sun, 10 May 2020 22:58:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/what-does-the-future-hold-for-mitch-garver-r9321/Mitch Garver officially broke out in his age 28 season. A triple slash of .273/.365/.630 in 93 games was something that simply nobody saw coming. His 155 wRC+ led all of baseball at the catcher position. A repeat of a flat out dominant showing may be wishful thinking, but you do have to wonder jus...9321Sun, 10 May 2020 02:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/202039s-top-15-teams-r9320/As we move closer to the 2020 season, who are MLB's top 15 teams? 15. San Diego Padres The Padres look incredibly exhilarating. Fernando Tatís Jr. hit .317/.379/.590 with 22 homers in 84 games in 2019. Manny Machado is bound to bounce back without the pressure of free agency.

Ian McMahan of the Athletic recently looked into why this might be and the research pointed to some interesti...9319Fri, 08 May 2020 23:00:00 +0000
