A place where you can visit to comment, gain information and be entertained. In 2015, an unimaginable amount of words were killed in the name of all things Twins. On a near-da...4353Thu, 31 Dec 2015 17:39:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-top-stories-of-2015-r4351/The champagne is on ice and it's almost time for the ball to drop in Times Square. 2015 will move over to make way for 2016 and it will be time for resolutions and the hope of a new year. The Twins offered plenty of hope to their fan base in 2015. After four straight seasons with at least 92 losse...4351Thu, 31 Dec 2015 02:01:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/positioning-the-twins-lineup-for-success-r4349/Going into the offseason, the Minnesota Twins offense was set for the most part. With youths on the way, some already inserted, and more internal contributions expected, making a big splash there wasn't necessarily needed. Terry Ryan surprised baseball when he inked Byung Ho Park and thus far has...4349Thu, 31 Dec 2015 00:03:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/2015-the-year-in-debut-r4350/If you follow the Twins and their minor league system, 2015 was a fun season. The previous four seasons were hard to watch, but it has made following the Twins farm system - one of the best in baseball - a lot of fun. In 2015, we started seeing some of the big names debut. In fact, eight players d...4350Wed, 30 Dec 2015 02:50:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/power-on-deck-r4347/To say that the Twins have not traditionally been a team that specializes in power-hitting would be a late entrant for "Most Obvious Statement of 2015." Anyone who has followed Minnesota baseball knows that home runs have generally been a little tough to come by around these parts. In the past dec...4347Mon, 28 Dec 2015 18:26:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/dozier39s-defensive-dilemma-r4346/Brian Dozier was able to call himself an All-Star for the first time in 2015. He's gained national attention after competing in the 2014 Home Run Derby and after hitting a home run to help the American League win the 2015 All-Star Game. He's slowly become one of the Twins most valuable players as...4346Mon, 28 Dec 2015 12:53:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/mlb39s-youth-movement-r4345/In 1971 the average age of MLB non-DH starting position players was 28.9. This began rising year by year to a peak of 30.1 years of age in 1996. One could assume this was due largely to players’ careers being extended artificially by PEDs. Or one could also possibly assume teams were selecting old...4345Fri, 25 Dec 2015 12:22:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/seeing-into-the-future-and-not-liking-it-much-r4344/Make a list of the top three things you think are wrong with professional baseball today. In fact, make it five things, if you wish. A year from now, the landscape regarding those issues is likely to be quite different than it is today. Things may be better, from your point of view, or they may be...4344Thu, 24 Dec 2015 23:52:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/memorable-memorabilia-r4343/I was young. It must have been about 1984. I was eight and my family was at the Twins game. We got there early and watched batting practice. The Twins were playing the Red Sox. We were down the third base line. There was a roller and the ball was right in front of us. Lefty-hander John Henry John...4343Thu, 24 Dec 2015 02:21:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/let39s-stop-discounting-tommy-milone-r4342/In discussions of how the 2016 Twins rotation might shape up, one thing that I've been noticing is that fans seem rather sour on Tommy Milone. I don't fully understand why. When it became clear last week that Paul Molitor is planning to put Trevor May in the bullpen, much of the frustration I saw...4342Wed, 23 Dec 2015 05:53:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/three-bagger-minor-lefties-carew-amp-aggie-agony-r4340/As we proceed through a festive holiday week and prepare for the downtime that always coincides with this portion of the offseason calendar, let's get caught up on three noteworthy Twins tidbits. * The Twins' efforts to address their need for a left-handed reliever have not yet yielded any big na...4340Tue, 22 Dec 2015 04:45:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/everything-old-is-new-again-r4335/Today, I want to revisit something I wrote in a prior post. The subject (as so many things written by so many people has been) was centered around what the Twins should do with regard to Miguel Sano and Byron Buxton. Maybe you take them aside and say, “Guys, if you’re healthy in April, you’re go...4335Tue, 22 Dec 2015 01:52:00 +0000
