In a tale as old as time, those veterans simply didn’t have it anymore, be that “it” talent, youth, conditioning, anabolic steroids, some cocktail of all these things, you name it. I’ve watche...12064Fri, 01 Apr 2022 10:35:07 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/just-for-fun/minnesota-made-dana-kiecker-transitions-to-bench-coach-role-at-century-college-r12029/Dana Kiecker, the 1983 eighth-round draft pick by the Boston Red Sox out of St. Cloud State University, has never stepped away from baseball. After playing two seasons in the big leagues with the Red Sox in 1990 and 1991, Kiecker returned home to Minnesota to continue his playing career in amate...12029Sat, 26 Mar 2022 11:15:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/just-for-fun/local-buzzkill-readies-does-he-pitch-zinger-r12034/As many Minnesotans return to the physical office, men like Josh Kinney await. He has two goals: Drop a “Mondays, am I right?” as early as possible on the first day of the week, and to rob his co-workers of even fleeting joy. “Lots of people on my floor are Twins fans, couple of them have s...12034Fri, 25 Mar 2022 11:15:06 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/just-for-fun/area-fan-transitions-seamlessly-from-lockout-panic-to-roster-panic-r11995/Lisa Edmund is just about to lose it. “Where are the pitchers? Where’s the shortstop? Do we have any catchers left?” Edmund, 44, is a Minnesota Twins fan since childhood. She spent most of her winter fretting about the owners’ lockout. As the rhetoric grew harsher and games started get...11995Fri, 18 Mar 2022 11:00:07 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/just-for-fun/lockout-lookup-sam-fuld-r11957/Subject: Sam Fuld Why You Remember Him: The 2014 Minnesota Twins outfield. You remember it, don’t you? The banged-up Josh Willingham. The inconsistent Oswaldo Arcia. The more inconsistent Danny Santana. The raw Aaron Hicks. The soon-to-retire Jason Kubel.

A promising start (2.34 ERA with 55/23 K/BB in 2009) deteriorated to the point where he was non-tendered after the 2011 season. If you recall the Twins bullpen of that period, that wa...11932Fri, 04 Mar 2022 12:10:14 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/just-for-fun/lockout-lookup-brendan-harris-r11909/11909Fri, 25 Feb 2022 11:45:05 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/just-for-fun/lockout-lookup-cristian-guzman-r11884/Subject: Cristian Guzman Why You Remember Him: A key part of the Chuck Knoblauch trade along with Eric Milton (no offense to Brian Buchanan and Danny Mota), Guzman held down the shortstop position during Minnesota’s early-‘00s renaissance.

And while I have no way of knowing this for certain, they also wanted someone with the most Irish New York cop name in Major League Baseball. Thus, they acquired John Ryan Murphy from the New York Yankees for outfielder Aaron Hicks. Hicks wo...11857Fri, 11 Feb 2022 11:30:08 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/just-for-fun/lockout-lookup-philip-humber-r11832/Subject: Philip Humber Why You Remember Him: The Twins traded the immortal Johan Santana to the New York Mets for Humber, beloved space cadet Carlos Gomez, Deolis Guerra, and Kevin Mulvey in 2008.

The guessing game of who did (or didn't) do performance-enhancing drugs is so arbitrary and without base that it is turning the Hall of Fame itself into kind of a joke.  It's wild to me that some players are above suspicion (Jim...11799Tue, 25 Jan 2022 20:45:09 +0000
