The Twins Daily crew put out some solid information in the 2015 Offseason Handbook. One of the best parts to...3204Tue, 18 Nov 2014 01:35:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/early-offseason-rumors-r3203/* Unsurprisingly, the Twins were listed by Ken Rosenthal as one team that has shown preliminary interest in Torii Hunter. The past history, and Minnesota's need for a corner outfielder who can help mentor the youngsters, make it easy to see why they would pursue him. Hunter has stated publicly tha...3203Mon, 17 Nov 2014 06:01:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-amp-the-geek-ep-171-free-agent-outfielders-r3202/http://traffic.libsyn.com/gleemangeek/Episode_171_Free_Agent_Outfielder.mp33202Mon, 17 Nov 2014 02:48:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/jordan-schafer-breakout-or-bust-r3190/I used Baseball Reference's play index seeking an answer. I wanted a group of outfielders that had a similar number of plate appearances and performances through age 27. A group where Schafer sits somewhere near the middle according to career OPS+ and plate appearances. It turns out pretty rare fo...3190Fri, 14 Nov 2014 13:49:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/on-twins-pitching-and-philosophy-r3197/Pitching has been a significant issue for the organization as the team floundered its way to four consecutive 90-loss seasons. Although replacement-level personnel has played a significant factor in the pitching results, the Twins have failed to adapt to the changes in the game around them. And pa...3197Wed, 12 Nov 2014 17:24:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-best-defensive-outfielders-in-free-agency-r3195/Although I'm not a huge fan of any defensive metrics, UZR is generally considered to be the most accurate measure over a large sample, so I've listed each player's career average per 150 games (in essence, this is meant to convey the number of runs saved defensively per season).

But this is understandable for a couple reasons. For one thing, there's already some congestion in the rotation with seven starters currently in line to vie for...3192Mon, 10 Nov 2014 02:50:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-amp-the-geek-ep-170-the-new-regime-r3191/http://traffic.libsyn.com/gleemangeek/Ep_170_New_Regime_and_Town_Hall_Brewery.mp33191Mon, 10 Nov 2014 00:31:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/how-much-has-molitor-helped-r3189/Molitor’s main role in 2014 was as a baserunning coach. Sure, he aligned defenses and added an analytic flair to the process but his job was to improve the movement on the bases. Judging from raw numbers, the Twins made strides in this area.
