The fans remaining at Twins Daily wanted Santana to get reps at shortstop (with attendent opportunities for Aaron Hicks) and they wanted to see the state of Josmil Pinto's catching ability. The fans w...3134Mon, 13 Oct 2014 19:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-and-the-geek-ep-166-overunder-recap-at-612-brew-r3135/http://traffic.libsyn.com/gleemangeek/Ep_166_OverUnder_Recap_at_612_Brew.mp33135Mon, 13 Oct 2014 11:45:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/postseason-review-danny-santana-r3133/He hit early and continued to hit throughout the season. Danny finished with a .319 batting average and an OPS of .824, both of which would have led the team easily if he had had enough plate appearances. Danny made the All-Rookie team and is a cinch to be the Twins Rookie of the Year for 2014.

Aaron got 70 plate appearances in September with the big club. There was talk of better focus and more confidence, but the result was something short of scintillating. Hicks hit .250 with a .648 OPS. His O...3132Mon, 13 Oct 2014 11:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-research-team-won39t-tip-their-pitches-r3131/“I’m not overly concerned that people see us as middle-of-the-pack, below-the-pack or any of that stuff. Obviously, I’m working on where I want to get to as a department but I’m not concerned what the outside perception is, so to speak.” By most outside estimates, the Twins likely fall in the midd...3131Fri, 10 Oct 2014 06:05:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/postseason-review-eduardo-escobar-r3128/The early season gave Escobar his chance. Pedro Florimon, already seen as a subpar hitter, got off to a woeful start and Escobar got several early starts at shortstop. The rest is, as they say, history. Escobar hit .357 in April and backed that up with a .322 (.865 OPS) May. Florimon was demoted a...3128Fri, 10 Oct 2014 04:35:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/fantasy-perspectives-2014-minnesota-twins-r3129/There are many types of fantasy leagues and each league can alter its rules, so the below won’t be an exact representation of every type of league. These are the rankings by position according to the rules of one of my leagues. The league is a weekly points league.

Baltimore is built around power. They led the majors with 211 homers and ranked last with 44 steals. Not one player on the O's roster swiped more than eight bases this season. This is a ploddi...3127Wed, 08 Oct 2014 02:07:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/postseason-review-joe-mauer-r3122/I was among those who thought that Mauer would be able to play more games and provide more power when he abandoned catching. For the 2014 season, I was wrong. Mauer had a career-low .277 batting average and managed only 518 plate appearances. Mauer's OPS and OPS+ approached career lows, as well, a...3122Tue, 07 Oct 2014 20:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/postseason-review-brian-dozier-r3121/In 2014, Dozier had an up and down season. He started slowly, lifted his average through June and then tailed off. Dozier hit a bunch of homers early and continued hitting an occasional long ball until the All-Star break. The power tailed off from there and he was stuck on 20 homers for a long tim...3121Tue, 07 Oct 2014 18:06:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-amp-the-geek-ep-165-mike-berardino-and-manager-searches-r3123/http://traffic.libsyn.com/gleemangeek/Ep_165_Mike_Berardino_and_Manager_Searches.mp33123Tue, 07 Oct 2014 04:52:00 +0000
