Their strategy has worked so well that they now have a good problem of having to deal with a surplus of MLB-caliber outfielders who the Twins simply don’t have room for...8901Thu, 30 Jan 2020 02:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/barreling-up-quantifying-the-power-potential-of-the-2020-minnesota-twins-via-statcast-r8902/It’s no secret that the 2019 Minnesota Twins were very good at hitting home runs. Predicting just how many the Bomba Squad will hit in 2020 is tricky due to the ambiguity surrounding the ball (Twins Daily’s Andrew Thares gives his predictions here), but by looking at MLB Statcast’s Barrel Percenta...8902Wed, 29 Jan 2020 15:00:06 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/three-twins-takeaways-from-zips-and-steamer-projections-r8900/We now have ZIPS and Steamer projections for 2020. After (obviously) looking at the projections of total home runs where Steamer has the Twins at 262 and ZIPS at 264, the attention was then turned to look for notably different projections. I started by sorting both groupings by WAR and noticed ri...8900Wed, 29 Jan 2020 03:32:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/3-questions-that-remain-for-the-twins-before-spring-training-r8896/Twins pitchers and catchers report in roughly two weeks, but there are still things left on the Twins off-season checklist. None of these questions have a hard-set deadline so all three could carry over into the spring or early into the season. My guess is fans would feel a lot better about the cl...8896Wed, 29 Jan 2020 03:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-should-plunder-the-pirates39-sinking-ship-r8899/In case there was any question as to whether the Pittsburgh Pirates would compete in 2020, new General Manager Ben Cherington gave us a definitive answer. Starling Marte was dealt, Derek Shelton’s cupboard is now bare, and the payroll keeps dropping. Minnesota should step in to help the process a...8899Wed, 29 Jan 2020 03:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/will-randy-dobnak-or-lewis-thorpe-give-minnesota-more-in-2020-r8889/Short of the Twins acquiring another starter, Randy Dobnak and Lewis Thorpe will be battling alongside Devin Smeltzer for the final two slots in the rotation. How long those spots will be held remains to be seen, but today we will take a dive into the numbers of Dobnak and Thorpe and predict who w...8889Wed, 29 Jan 2020 03:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/are-the-twins-ready-for-no-pineda-no-hill-no-impact-starter-to-begin-2020-r8897/The Minnesota Twins are starting the season without their full complement of preferred starters. Just what is ahead of the Twins until Michael Pineda returns from suspension and can they weather whatever storm could head their way? As the Minnesota Twins made their pivot from “impact pitching” to...8897Tue, 28 Jan 2020 04:43:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/minnesota%E2%80%99s-previous-front-offices-deserve-credit-for-current-core-r8893/The Twins won over 100 games last season for only the second time in franchise history. Free agent additions like Nelson Cruz, Jake Odorizzi and Marwin Gonzalez helped to bolster the team, but the majority of the players were developed through the Twins' minor league system. The tenure of former g...8893Tue, 28 Jan 2020 03:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/michael-pineda39s-numbers-tell-two-different-stories-r8895/Michael Pineda is a big guy with a power pitcher's reputation, but quietly, he's become much more dependent on command and control. Luckily, there's evidence that he has some of the best of each in all of baseball. The Twins re-signed Michael Pineda to a two-year deal worth $20 million back in De...8895Tue, 28 Jan 2020 02:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/gleeman-amp-the-geek-ep-463-winter-meltdown-2020-with-kent-hrbek-and-trevor-plouffe-r8894/Aaron and John are live from Twins Daily's seventh annual Winter Meltdown event, with special guests Kent Hrbek, Trevor Plouffe, and 400 of our closest friends.

Last Thursday night at the Diamond Awards, manager Rocco Baldelli opined that it's the best bullpen in baseball right now – a perfectly defensible claim. Bolstered by Brusdar Graterol's now-confirmed inclusion, this unit is...8892Mon, 27 Jan 2020 02:22:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/projected-minnesota-twins-2020-statistical-leaders-per-zips-r8891/Now, more than ever before, baseball fans have all of the numbers in the world at their fingertips in order to reflect on what has happened in the past as well as project what will happen in the future.
