In 2003 they set the benchmark for modern era ineptitude with 119 losses, and the franchise seems intent on never going back to that place. Maybe that's why they have eschewed any kind of significant rebuild efforts despite an aging roster and a thin farm s...5399Mon, 06 Mar 2017 03:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/report-from-the-fort-saturday-in-the-park-r5397/The Minnesota Twins won just one of seven games against the Toronto Blue Jays in 2016. Spring training results are meaningless overall but a convincing 6-2 win over the Blue Jays travel squad at Hammond Stadium might just inspire the organization to do better during the regular season, right?

That's never quite how it happens. Instead, much of how the final few roster spots are decided comes down to how the players fit into specific roles or whether or not a guy can be sent down to the minors without r...5392Fri, 03 Mar 2017 03:18:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/central-intelligence-cleveland-indians-r5393/Part of Minnesota's blueprint for success from 2002 through 2010 was taking advantage of the unbalanced schedule and piling up wins against inferior AL Central opponents. Lately that has been an exceedingly tall order, with the division producing pennant winners in four of the last five seasons.

His velocity was down, he threw a ton of strikes, and he struggled to put hitters away. Nevertheless, Hughes left the game after 45 pitches -- 30 of which were strikes -- and felt that he had made signifi...5391Thu, 02 Mar 2017 22:05:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/report-from-the-fort-2017-it-begins-r5390/And so it begins. Twins Daily’s Report From The Fort 2017 kicks off from Sarasota where the Twins will tangle with the Baltimore Orioles.
