One of Cervelli's homers came on a change that hung over the plate, but Gibson says he's undeterred. "That's the first one I've been beat on." * It was an unch...3462Fri, 20 Mar 2015 20:45:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/minnesota-twins-roster-projection-2015-version-30-r3461/When a player becomes a “given” for the roster (in my opinion), I will highlight the player’s name in red. Trades and signings can happen at any time between now and opening day, but that just means that even “givens” can change. We will also be able to learn, over time, what it is that Paul Molit...3461Fri, 20 Mar 2015 18:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-option-alex-meyer-to-triple-a-r3460/Meyer has struggled with his control this spring, issuing seven walks in 5 2/3 innings over three Grapefruit League appearances. That included an erratic outing at Port Charlotte on Thursday in which Meyer issued four walks over two innings. Earlier this week the Twins announced that they have mo...3460Fri, 20 Mar 2015 17:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/alex-meyer39s-wild-ride-r3459/After a so-so start from Ricky Nolasco and a solid relief appearance from Ryan Pressly, Meyer came on to start the sixth inning. He's an unmistakable figure on the mound, standing a gangly 6'9" with legs that look longer than my entire body. He likely wasn't going full bore in this mid-March outin...3459Fri, 20 Mar 2015 02:25:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/on-danny-santana-and-regression-r3458/Of course, Molitor also indicated that he is counting on Danny Santana to play a vital role at the top of the order. "I see Danny at the top for the most part to be honest with you,” the new manager told Twins Daily’s Nick Nelson recently. “Because I like the dimension he brings to that spot."

There, he pitched exclusively out of the bullpen. In 2012, his junior season, he was co-closer with JT Chargois (who the Twins drafted in the second round of the 2012 draft). “If he played first base, or he made a lot of throws, they’d c...3457Thu, 19 Mar 2015 11:04:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/healthy-glen-perkins-is-ready-to-roll-r3456/Glen Perkins saw his 2014 season end on an injury note when he was shut down in late September with a forearm strain, and his 2015 spring started on another one: an oblique strain that has kept him out of action for the past couple weeks. Frustrating? "Yeah," he said. "But part of that is you can'...3456Thu, 19 Mar 2015 03:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/wednesday-notes-from-ft-myers-a-speedy-loss-r3455/* Ervin Santana's third Grapefruit start didn't go quite as smoothly as the first two, as he allowed three runs on four hits -- including a two-run homer by Jonathan Schoop on a slider that didn't slide much -- but he looked fine. He aggressively threw the ball in the zone and got several swinging...3455Wed, 18 Mar 2015 20:01:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/offense-is-springing-to-life-r3454/The general qualms about the team's run production last spring proved overblown, as the Twins ended up outscoring all but six teams in the majors during the regular season, but the dearth of power proved to be an accurate omen. In 28 Grapefruit games last year, the Twins slugged .356 and hit a tot...3454Wed, 18 Mar 2015 03:31:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/tuesday-notes-from-sarasota-round-trippers-abound-r3453/* Phil Hughes had his best outing of the spring -- an efficient effort that saw him cruise through four frames on only 44 pitches. Outside of an opposite field homer by Chris Davis that barely sneaked over the wall and inside the foul pole in left, Hughes was almost perfect. He tallied a pair of s...3453Tue, 17 Mar 2015 21:02:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/no-juice-podcast-47-tryouts-r3452/After a chat with JL Beers’ Mike Evans, they introduce MinnCentric’s newest site, Northern Pitch — a soccer website that started off with a bang last week by breaking some big news — and give a farewell to Christian Ponder and Greg Jennings.
