Eddie Rosario had three home runs, one off a Mariners catcher. I guess other teams are doing the whole catchers pitching thing now too. Twins...5713Wed, 14 Jun 2017 03:50:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/ode-to-byron-buxton-r5712/The opening moments of Monday night's MLB Draft played out quite similarly to the one that took place five years prior. The Minnesota Twins, holding the first overall pick, went against the grain by selecting prep shortstop Royce Lewis, whom few regarded as the best available player. Meanwhile, th...5712Wed, 14 Jun 2017 02:24:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/interview-with-twins-second-pick-brent-rooker-r5711/With their second pick in the 2017 Major League Baseball draft, the Minnesota Twins selected Brent Rooker from Mississippi State. He's one of the most exciting hitters in the country, and he's a guy the Twins targeted in 2016 as well. I had the opportunity to catch up with him, and get a little mo...5711Tue, 13 Jun 2017 20:08:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/mckay-says-no-way-r5710/Yesterday became a whirlwind as the hours and minutes counted down to the Twins making the first overall selection. No experts or reporters were able to crack the Twins front office and figure out who the club would be taking at the top of the draft. It really did feel like it was coming down to t...5710Tue, 13 Jun 2017 13:11:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-draft-blayne-enlow-seven-more-r5709/Here are all your results from Day 2 of the MLB Draft. The Twins started it with a bang, using up the money they saved on Day 1 by selecting Blayne Enlow, a projectable, high upside prep starting pitcher who would require a large bonus to keep from his college commitment. His background and seven...5709Tue, 13 Jun 2017 05:45:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/mariners-14-twins-3-mejia-crushed-gimenez-pitches-again-r5708/When the Twins lose, they really lose. Adalberto Mejia got hammered for nine runs, eight of them earned, over 3.2 innings and things didn’t get much better after that. It was the fourth time in the last 13 games the Twins gave up at least a dozen runs. How is this still a first-place team?

A lot of that was on our Day 1 Draft Day thread. And starting at about the 500th comment or so, the reaction could be summarized in three letters: W. T. F. To the community’s credit, that was not the thought process immediately, when t...5707Tue, 13 Jun 2017 04:22:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-select-brent-rooker-landon-leach-on-day-1-r5705/The Twins made a somewhat surprising choice at 1-1 by selecting SS/CF Royce Lewis, who is represented by Scott Boras. The rumor was that it was a money-saving pick. And Mike Radcliff said the Twins had big plans at 35 and 37. So we spent the next nearly three hours watching the names that might be...5705Tue, 13 Jun 2017 01:17:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-select-royce-lewis-first-overall-r5703/It's been a pretty shielded mystery since the moment draft talk started, but the answer to the question, 'Who goes 1-1?' has finally been answered. Over the course of the last few months the focus has been primarily on four names: Hunter Greene, Kyle Wright, Brendan McKay and, most recently, Royce...5703Mon, 12 Jun 2017 22:03:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-daily-mock-draft-r5702/Everyone loves a good mock draft. Or even a poor one. This is my one and only projection of the first 37 picks of this year's draft. 1. Twins - I'd love to put Hunter Green here. I would absolutely love to. And I think there's still a slim chance. After all, why would they bring him to town an...5702Mon, 12 Jun 2017 13:08:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/game-thread-twins-v-mariners-612710pm-ct-r5701/The Twins are 12-18 at home and 20-9 on the road. I’m fully aware of this yet still excited for some baseball played at Ole’ Target Field. It’s been a trip on the Oregon Trail and back. It’s a homecoming celebration with 4 games against the Seattle Mariners. A King and Queen must be elected… a par...5701Mon, 12 Jun 2017 11:23:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-daily-official-mlb-draft-day-1-r5693/Happy MLB Draft Day 1, Twins fans! Since it became clear that the Minnesota Twins had the #1 overall pick in the 2017 draft, which happened fairly early last September, the fandom has been very excited about who the Twins might be able to add at the top of the draft. That day has come. This purpos...5693Mon, 12 Jun 2017 05:00:00 +0000
