Sure, it helps to chat with players/personnel and find out how much they're willing to share, but the vibe and buzz are more telling. You pick up on certain things based on...4548Mon, 28 Mar 2016 02:08:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/saturday-camp-notes-gibson-deals-arcia-sticks-r4546/Another day and yet another Minnesota Twins victory in the Grapefruit League. On the field, the offense was not nearly as potent had it been the previous day in Port Charlotte but the shutout of the Pirates’ lineup today proved that the minimum amount of runs was needed to win. Off the field, the...4546Sat, 26 Mar 2016 20:21:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/carlos-quentin-among-six-twins-roster-cuts-r4545/The Carlos Quentin comeback experiment will be delayed. The Minnesota Twins made six moves this morning, trimming the roster down to 29 players, including reassigning the veteran Quentin to Rochester. Joining Quentin on the Triple-A roster is catcher John Hicks, who had hit .304/.292/.348 in 12 s...4545Sat, 26 Mar 2016 14:22:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/the-twins-almanac-march-27-april-2-r4544/And here is The Twins Almanac for the week of March 27th to April 2nd, 2016. 3/27 is the birthday of Michael Cuddyer, born in 1979 in Norfolk, VA. He was the Twins’ 1st round draft pick out of high school in 1997. In 2009 he hit for the cycle (5/22), and homered twice in the same inning (8/23). He...4544Sat, 26 Mar 2016 03:44:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/friday-camp-notes-twins-trim-roster-destroy-rays-r4543/With the regular season start a little over a week away, the Minnesota Twins announced their presence with authority in Port Charlotte. On their field, bats came alive and the pitching was crisp. On the personnel side, the team made several moves, paring down the roster. Take a look at the happeni...4543Fri, 25 Mar 2016 20:05:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/minnesota-twins-roster-projection-40-r4542/We are now just over a week from Opening Day. As we get closer to Opening Day, I somehow feel much less certain about my predictions for the roster. The questions that were there at the beginning of the camp, to some degree, remain. In the meantime, a couple more have presented themselves. This mo...4542Fri, 25 Mar 2016 15:40:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/beating-vegas-houston-astros-r4541/Show us you can beat Vegas and you can win a Harry’s Razor starter kit! They were only a surprise if you weren't paying attention. They competed early, made big moves at the trade deadline and hung on for 86 wins and their first playoff appearance since 2005. They lose Scott Kazmir from the deadli...4541Fri, 25 Mar 2016 10:12:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/player-predictions-ss-eduardo-escobar-r4540/How does a player overcome preconceived notions? Eduardo Escobar has found a way to overcome a industry’s preconceived notions that he was “only” a utility player. How? He earned it, two years in a row. So, how will he do in 2016 when he is the starting shortstop from Day 1? Eduardo Escobar came u...4540Fri, 25 Mar 2016 09:49:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/byron-buxton-hopes-adjustments-pay-off-r4539/Byron Buxton was not completely satisfied with his introduction to baseball’s highest level. That’s the simplistic way to phrase it. More accurate: Pitchers dissected him like a science project. He swung through a high percentage of over the plate. His strikeout rate ballooned as they threw him a...4539Fri, 25 Mar 2016 03:46:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/opening-day-assignment-changes-nothing-for-ervin-santana-r4538/It has taken twelve years in the majors but Ervin Santana can finally add Opening Day Starter to his resume. With a Cheshire smile on his face, Santana says he took the news in stride. “It feels good,” Santana admitted but then quickly downplayed the significance of the assignment. “To me, it's gr...4538Thu, 24 Mar 2016 17:56:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/beating-vegas-texas-rangers-r4537/Show us you can beat Vegas and you can win a Harry’s Razor starter kit!

There wasn’t much market for third basemen this offseason. The White Sox didn’t give up much to acquire All-Star Todd Frazier. The A’s return for Brett Lawrie was minimal.
