As the Minnesota Twins and Baltimore Orioles are set to play their Opening Day game at 2:05 (central time), another season begins. And if there is one thing that is needed at the beginning of every season, it’s some good old fashioned predictions. The piece...6558Thu, 29 Mar 2018 02:11:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/minnesota-twins-2018-season-preview-pieces-in-place-r6557/As they crest what they hope will be a lengthy run of winning baseball, the Minnesota Twins are keeping their options open. There is a defined core in place – young, talented, and under control for several years to come. But the front office has surrounded this core with a remarkable number of pla...6557Thu, 29 Mar 2018 01:49:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-2018-position-analysis-relief-pitcher-r6556/We wrap up our position-by-position breakdown of Minnesota's organizational depth today with an examination of relief pitching. I'm excited to dig in here because this reinvented bullpen is a fascinating unit for the Twins, characterized by high-profile additions, unpredictable youth, and bold gam...6556Wed, 28 Mar 2018 02:54:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/high-expectations-are-the-twins-in-win-now-mode-r6554/Expectations for the Twins this season might be higher than they have been at the beginning of any campaign during the Target Field era. However, there is likely to be quite the roster turnover before the beginning of the 2019 season. Does that mean the Twins are in win now mode? It seems weird t...6554Wed, 28 Mar 2018 01:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-finalize-opening-day-25-man-roster-r6555/Opening Day is less than 48 hours away and Minnesota made their final roster moves of the spring on Tuesday. There were multiple questions still to be answered at the back of the 25-man roster with a couple of surprises mixed in. Either way, the Twins will head to Baltimore on Tuesday night with m...6555Wed, 28 Mar 2018 01:23:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/2018-twins-keys-outfield-edition-r6553/The Minnesota Twins have a trio of very athletic outfielders. All three are 26 and under. All three have good speed. All three came up as prospects of the Twins, each reaching into Top 100 rankings (Buxton near the top, Rosario and Kepler appearing briefly). All three hit in the minor leagues, and...6553Tue, 27 Mar 2018 04:11:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-starting-pitcher-projections-for-2018-r6552/With the 2018 season right around the corner, perhaps the biggest topic in baseball circles right now is player projections.

By season's end, the AL Central might end up being the easiest division in baseball. Besides Minnesota and Cleveland, there are a lot of young, rebuilding clubs. This...6551Tue, 27 Mar 2018 01:20:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-2018-position-analysis-starting-pitcher-r6550/It's been said often but bears repeating: building a rotation isn't about five starting pitchers. Sure, you want five good ones lined up at the top. But in 2016 the Twins had eight different hurlers make 10-plus starts. Last year 16 guys got the nod at least once. Sixteen! It's been common practic...6550Mon, 26 Mar 2018 01:03:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/gleeman-amp-the-geek-ep-361-minnesota-twins-2018-season-preview-r6549/Aaron and John discuss the impact of Jorge Polanco's suspension, preview the 2018 Minnesota Twins season, review John's brush with Olympic curling greatness, bet on the rest of the AL Central and revel in Aaron's new life as a book distributor.

The crown has been shined, the cape dry cleaned and the scepter, uh ... scepted? Who decides who’s worthy of the title? The people, of course.
