Darren Wolfson reported via Twitter that “2nd round pick Nick Burdi is heading to Ft. Myers. Wolfson also was informed that the Twins have had four offers between $1...2961Mon, 11 Aug 2014 06:18:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/blogging-for-pizza-r2960/1) The blog entry must be 100 words or longer. 2) The post must, in some way, incorporate Joe Mauer. Mauer seemed like a natural theme for the week given that he's returning from his oblique injury and his future is in question as he suffers through a career-worst season at age 31. He doesn't need...2960Mon, 11 Aug 2014 05:25:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/episode-157-oodbye-evin-orreia-r2959/http://traffic.libsyn.com/gleemangeek/GATG_081014_COMPLETE.mp32959Mon, 11 Aug 2014 01:15:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-trade-kevin-correia-recall-tommy-milone-r2956/In 54 starts, Correia finishes his Twins career with a 14-26 record and a 4.49 ERA which was a product of his high-contact/low-bat miss abilities. According to Fangraphs.com, over the past two years Correia had the highest contact rate (80%) and the lowest swinging strike percentage (5.7%). "I enj...2956Sun, 10 Aug 2014 04:39:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-minor-league-report-88-may-day-is-here-poulson-debuts-r2953/The Twins would get to him in a big way the seventh, but at that point their five runs on the board were not enough to put them out front. In the ninth inning, Josh Willingham was just feet away from notching a go-ahead home run against his former team and its closer Sean Doolittle, but his blast...2953Sat, 09 Aug 2014 10:53:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/trevor-may-to-start-on-saturday-r2951/May came to the Twins from the Phillies organization in December of 2012 with Vance Worley in exchange for outfielder Ben Revere. He was Philadelphia’s fourth-round draft pick in 2008 out of Kelso High School in Washington. The Twins sent him back to AA for the 2013 season where he reduced his wal...2951Fri, 08 Aug 2014 15:20:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/kennys-vargas-is-one-reason-to-keep-watching-r2950/Ortiz is the most frequently recited comp based upon the pair's relationship that blossomed in Fort Myers and Vargas's admission that he based his left-handed swing Ortiz's. From this example -- his Futures Game double last month at Target Field -- you see the big leg-kick and hands-drop, a la Big...2950Fri, 08 Aug 2014 13:49:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/joe-mauer-in-cedar-rapids-day-two-r2948/So I missed the filled ballpark and, from what I understand, filled pressbox on Tuesday when Nolasco pitched and Mauer played designated hitter for the Kernels, who beat the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers 9-0 that night. I did make it home from St. Louis Wednesday in time to see Mauer’s rehab debut in...2948Fri, 08 Aug 2014 12:20:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-future-of-twins39-catchers-r2947/Stuart Turner, Fort Myers Miracle Turner was the Twins third round pick in 2013. The college-experienced catcher was expected to move through the system quickly and he is already at High-A. His offensive numbers are adequate but he has been known more for his defensive skills. If he continues to m...2947Thu, 07 Aug 2014 20:40:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-hangouts-august-5-episode-36-r2940/We're into August - and though the trade deadline has passed - there is still the waiver trade period to contend with. It's unlikely the Twins make any moves soon, but this roster is likely to continue to change. We'll cover the majors and minors and the activity of the past seven days.

The Padres are the latter. They’ve scored 52 fewer runs than the 29th ranked team, the Cardinals. How big of a difference is 52 runs? There is also a 52 run difference between the Cardinals and the Baltimore Orioles – who...2936Tue, 05 Aug 2014 00:57:07 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/tuesday-morning-madness-8514-r2939/Originally posted at Kevin Slowey was Framed! Josh Willingham Josh Willingham wasn't terrible this weekend, although he did go 1-7 during Sunday's hit parade. I don't remember his dragon wings from before, but I'm guessing they help him in the field? The Twins weren't able to trade Willingham b...2939Tue, 05 Aug 2014 13:35:00 +0000
