They have been years in the making. The farm system stopped producing in the late '00s and early '10s. Payroll has been cut, despite revenues that the organization has never before seen (more on this later). Significant trades have failed t...3156Fri, 24 Oct 2014 11:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/how-quotdifferentquot-is-paul-molitor-r3161/Whether you're reading the tea leaves or lending credence to a report from KFAN's Paul Lambert (aka Meatsauce), who has been conspicuously accurate with his breaking news tidbits pertaining to the Twins, Molitor's chances of landing the job are looking good. And while his résumé is exemplary, man...3161Fri, 24 Oct 2014 01:29:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-gm-terry-ryan-talks-about-the-search-for-a-new-manager-r3160/***Download the Offseason Handbook FREE SAMPLE for more from Terry Ryan*** Outsiders might believe that because of the existing relationship with Molitor as a bench coach and observing Mientkiewicz’s style in the minor leagues, give the team an understanding of how they would operate as manager...3160Thu, 23 Oct 2014 12:40:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/and-then-there-were-three-r3159/After considering, by my count, at least seven or eight candidates during the first two weeks of the offseason, Ryan set aside the managerial search while he holed up in Fort Myers with his staff for their annual week of postseason organizational meetings, though reports are that he did find time...3159Thu, 23 Oct 2014 12:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/powering-up-the-bullpen-r3157/During the regular season, the Royals went 64-9 when ahead after the sixth inning, and 65-4 when ahead after the seventh. This relief corps that reliably protected leads during the summer has stepped it up here in October. When Kansas City leads after five, or gains a lead at any point thereafter,...3157Wed, 22 Oct 2014 03:08:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/want-to-ask-twins-president-dave-st-peter-a-question-r3155/3155Tue, 21 Oct 2014 15:10:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/postseason-review-ricky-nolasco-r3153/For one season, at least, the Twins were totally wrong. They didn't get middle-of-the-rotation production from him. They didn't get bottom-of-the-rotation production. Mostly, the team got very poor performance for what is agreed to be a lot of money. What went wrong? There are some numbers and cir...3153Tue, 21 Oct 2014 12:55:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/let39s-just-roll-with-what-we-have-r3154/Starting Rotation: Obviously, Phil Hughes and Ricky Nolasco are not going anywhere. I think Kyle Gibson is a breakout candidate and could prove to be something special. On top of those three, I would choose Trevor May and Alex Meyer to fill out my rotation. If the Twins are ever going to compete,...3154Tue, 21 Oct 2014 12:41:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/postseason-review-parmelee-nunez-and-schaefer-r3147/Parmelee: Chris Parmelee had chances to claim a regular position with the Twins in 2012 and 2013. In 2012 Parmelee started at first base to start the season after a very successful September audition. Justin Morneau was coming off a severe concussion and was slated to be the DH. Parmelee was given...3147Mon, 20 Oct 2014 11:25:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/wild-xtra-is-live33-r3150/You know we believe in baseball, but the truth is that we also believe in communities, and it is our sincere hope that a Wild community spring up around Wild Xtra that rivals the community of which you're a part a Twins Daily.

Hughes started rather slowly in April, not getting his first win until his fourth start and recording a 5.14 ERA for the month. Hughes walked six batters in his first four starts, then proceeded to walk 10 (10!) in his final 28 starts. He was regarded...3146Sun, 19 Oct 2014 20:35:00 +0000
