Although his plate discipline hasn't been great -- he has struck out more than four times for every walk and has looked flat-out overmatched in some games -- his "hit" tool certainly...2935Mon, 04 Aug 2014 04:39:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-amp-the-geek-ep-156-trade-deadline-recap-r2932/http://traffic.libsyn.com/gleemangeek/GATG_080314_complete.mp32932Mon, 04 Aug 2014 01:34:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-claim-jordan-schafer-from-braves-r2931/Schafer is just 27-years-old.

He has been sent to Rochester initially but is likely to be up in a Twins uniform soon.

Kyle Gibson has had a solid first, full season in the big leagues, alternating very good performances with some really rough ones.

Dating back to August of last year, he has had the third-highest OBP among American League catchers. That figure is buoyed by the best batting average (.306). At the same time, his power numbers have been awful. His isolated slu...2925Fri, 01 Aug 2014 12:40:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/minor-league-report-731-minor-leagues-with-a-major-deadline-r2924/Transactions Left-hander Mat Batts was promoted from Elizabethton to Cedar Rapids. Batts started his career with the GCL Twins before moving up to the E-Twins and now will get a shot with the Kernels. He will take the spot of Aaron Slegers who received a promotion to Ft. Myers.

The action began before 9 am and presumably will run straight until the deadline (3 pm central). The Twins made one move this morning and may still be looking to wheel and deal.

The Twins desperately need to show more down the stretch this season than they have over the last three years. Another lifeless August and September would be unacceptable. However, if that improvement is driven by players like Kurt Su...2916Wed, 30 Jul 2014 12:35:00 +0000
