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. Most noteworthy was his All-Star 2001 campaign, whi...11884Fri, 18 Feb 2022 11:50:08 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/just-for-fun/lockout-lookup-john-ryan-murphy-r11857/Why You Remember Him: The Twins wanted a catcher. 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 Texas native was one of the arms meant to replace the admittedly irreplaceable Santan...11832Fri, 04 Feb 2022 11:33:03 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/just-for-fun/lockout-lookup-zack-granite-r11810/Subject: Zack Granite Why You Remember Him: There was a time, not so long ago, that people, maybe even people you know and love, MAYBE EVEN YOU, doubted Byron Buxton. In order to doubt Byron Buxton, an honest man, a righteous man, needs to suggest an alternative. That alternative was an inn...11810Fri, 28 Jan 2022 11:40:07 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/just-for-fun/if-selig-is-in-they-should-all-get-in-r11799/The Hall of Fame steroid witch hunt needs to come to its end. 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 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/just-for-fun/lockout-lookup-jaime-garcia-r11782/Subject: Jaime Garcia Why You Remember Him: The summer of 2017. The Twins were contending for an AL Central pennant, trailing division-leading Cleveland by a mere half-game. Shoring up their rotation for late-summer glory, the team moved prospect Huascar Ynoa (more on him later) to Atlanta...11782Fri, 21 Jan 2022 11:55:07 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/just-for-fun/lockout-lookup-brian-harper-r11756/Subject: Brian Harper Why You Remember Him: At the base Twins fan level, he was on the 1991 Twins and caught Game 7. For the folks who were there, we can tell you he was impossible to strike out, made one of the most ridiculous defensive plays in team history despite a rep for iffy defense,...11756Fri, 14 Jan 2022 12:15:06 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/just-for-fun/lockout-lookup-buddy-boshers-r11726/Subject: Jeffrey Alan “Buddy” Boshers Why You Remember Him: In the eminently forgettable 2016 Twins season (59-103, sadness everywhere, any teen fan who watched them is a Goth now and that’s to be expected), a man took the mound for the Minnesota Twins. A man with a plan. A man named…Buddy....11726Fri, 07 Jan 2022 11:30:04 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/just-for-fun/lockout-lookup-darin-mastroianni-r11698/Subject: Darin Mastroianni Why You Remember Him: In the fallow times after Target Field’s opening season, the Twins saw a lot of players. You know the staggering amount of roster churn that took place last season when [expletive] started going sideways? This went on for years in the early-t...11698Fri, 31 Dec 2021 12:50:09 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/just-for-fun/lockout-lookup-matthew-lecroy-r11684/Subject: Matthew LeCroy Why You Remember Him: Catchers are inherently memorable. This is just a theory, but as with hockey goaltenders, it takes a different breed to voluntarily have projectiles launched at you at fearsome speeds. As if this weren’t hazardous enough, they expose their most...11684Fri, 24 Dec 2021 11:20:11 +0000
