In a 2013 interview with Baseball Prospectus, former MLB umpire Jim McKean made an excellent observation about the practice. “Everybody says, ‘Oh, he’s a good fram...3420Fri, 06 Mar 2015 14:35:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/three-things-the-twins-need-to-do-to-compete-part-one-fix-the-pen-r3414/First: In order to make significant, measurable and effective change, you cannot focus on changing 20 things. Too many balls in the air, some will drop. Focusing of a few things that you can change and make an effort to do so, is much more effective. Second: I do believe that with the changes this...3414Fri, 06 Mar 2015 14:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/forum-friday-362015-r3418/Kiley McDaniel has reported that the Twins have a deal in place with 16 year old Dominican shortstop Wander Javier, ready to sign the youngster when he become eligible on July 2. If true, this would mark the largest international deal signed in Twins history, rivaled only by Miguel Sano’s 2009 sig...3418Thu, 05 Mar 2015 22:19:20 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-bite-sized-history-billyball-and-the-end-of-an-era-r3419/On the field, the Twins, a team known for its power, displayed a renewed interest in running wild on the bases. In the second game in which Martin managed, he had Rod Carew steal home. Carew would do so another six times that season, which at the time apparently tied a major league record. The Twi...3419Fri, 06 Mar 2015 12:29:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/2015-twins-an-afterthought-in-the-al-central-and-why-that-is-a-good-thing-r3412/“The perennial favorite Detroit Tigers still have David Price, Justin Verlander and Miguel Cabrera.” “The AL Champion Royals still have that speedy offense and one of the best bullpens in baseball.” “The White Sox have improved across every position and look to be real contenders!” “Don’t discount...3412Fri, 06 Mar 2015 00:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/minnesota-twins-roster-projection-2015-version-20-r3417/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...3417Thu, 05 Mar 2015 03:43:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/josmil-pinto-and-throwing-out-runners-r3416/Last season started off on the right foot. Last spring training he and pitcher Jared Burton would combined to take down the Blue Jay’s Anthony Gose -- who would go on to swipe 15 on 20 attempts. The mechanics were nearly flawless as he received and transitioned in almost one motion. When the regu...3416Wed, 04 Mar 2015 14:47:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/where-will-miguel-sano-play-r3415/More than two years ago, I posed this question: Is Miguel Sano too big to stay at third? At the time, he was 19 years old and listed at 240 pounds -- already as big as any third baseman in the majors. Taking all factors into account, I concluded that "the odds seem heavily stacked against him rema...3415Wed, 04 Mar 2015 03:43:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/no-juice-podcast-45-spring-training-updates-r3413/Other topics include the ruling on Adrian Peterson and Kevin Garnett's return to Minnesota.

Catcher: Kurt Suzuki - 3 HR in 131 G in 2014 Not really a power threat. In his younger years Suzuki could be counted on for double-digit homer totals, but all signs indicate that those days are long gone. Fortunately, he's playing a po...3410Mon, 02 Mar 2015 04:48:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/episode-183-the-best-shape-of-his-life-r3409/http://traffic.libsyn.com/gleemangeek/Episode_183_The_Best_Shape_Of_His_Life.mp33409Mon, 02 Mar 2015 03:52:00 +0000
