His prodigious major-league debut at age 22 only reinforced that belief, to the point where I felt emboldened to predict the Dominican slugger would win AL MVP in his second season with the Twins. I was wrong. Very wrong. But... maybe...5545Mon, 01 May 2017 01:53:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/game-thread-twinsroyals-428-715pm-ct-r5540/The Twins won 2 out of 3 from the Rangers and now it’s the last place Royals on the schedule. It’s not exactly a marquee matchup so it’s quite possible that ESPN will have nobody there… after this week… you have to wonder if ESPN will have anybody there because the sports giant has downsized. Name...5540Fri, 28 Apr 2017 11:57:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/exit-velocity-and-the-2017-twins-r5539/More and more, we’re seeing on TV and hearing on the radio announcers referencing exit velocity and launch angle. The technology has been around for awhile, but it is definitely becoming more mainstream. In the book Moneyball, stat man Voros McCracken discussed the concept that once the ball is pu...5539Fri, 28 Apr 2017 05:38:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/gushing-over-the-glovework-of-polanco-and-sano-r5538/I’ll admit it. I was terrified of what Miguel Sano and Jorge Polanco playing next to each other was going to look like on a daily basis. To be fair, both players had performed pretty terribly at their respective positions coming into 2017. My most optimistic ray of hope was that at the very least...5538Fri, 28 Apr 2017 03:45:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/extend-miggy-r5536/Now that we’ve got to see Miguel Sano play third base for the better part of a month, it’s probably fair to say that he’s going to man the hot corner for the foreseeable future (or at least until Mauer moves on). The pop-ups that plagued him last year haven’t been an issue (yet) and the barehanded...5536Thu, 27 Apr 2017 00:19:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/gleeman-amp-the-geek-ep-307-tuesday-taproom-tour-northgate-r5535/Aaron and John are joined by 100 listeners at Northgate Brewing to watch the Twins thump the Rangers, answer Twins questions and generally mess around.

We have certainly seen that early on this year, as he has introduced a prominent changeup to his repertoire while waiting for his fastball to...5533Wed, 26 Apr 2017 02:46:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/impromptu-draft-update-r5532/The draft is quickly approaching (but still seems like a lifetime away). Twins Daily's draft coverage is being mapped out. But as of today, there are two major players as candidates for the first overall pick in June's draft and both of those players have made headlines. HUNTER GREENE Let's talk...5532Tue, 25 Apr 2017 22:05:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/buxton-not-alone-in-early-season-struggles-r5531/In case you haven’t been following the Minnesota Twins to this point in the season, Byron Buxton has started the season really slowly. On Monday night in Texas, he went 0-2 with two walks and is now hitting just .105/.177/.140 (.318). There is really no way to sugarcoat those numbers.

Names like Francisco Lindor, Carlos Correa and Corey Seager are becoming household names. These budding infielders are leading the next generation of baseball stars. It is truly seems like the sky could be the limit for each of them.

Yesterday was a horrible performance and I couldn’t help but think of a great performer because of it.
