It's only about 10 miles away, but would be significant for many local reasons I won't get into now. Journalism is funny in the Internet age....2693Tue, 03 Jun 2014 12:05:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-draft-preview-alex-jackson-r2702/As Twins fans have endured three straight 90-plus loss seasons, it’s been obvious that one of – and probably the biggest – roots of the problem is the lack of quality starters. Essentially, the Twins have employed a collection of #4 starters and have failed to draft or sign frontline starters. We sa...2702Tue, 03 Jun 2014 03:06:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/no-room-in-the-rotation-for-trevor-may-r2690/So, as you might have heard, Twins pitching prospect Trevor May has been on a heck of a run in Triple-A. The 25-year-old right-hander was named International League Pitcher of the Week on Monday and hasn't allowed an earned run in his last four starts. Overall, May is sitting with a 2.62 ERA and 1....2690Mon, 02 Jun 2014 16:31:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/interview-with-twins-gm-terry-ryan-part-1-r2689/During a routine physical exam early this year, Minnesota Twins General Manager Terry Ryan asked his doctor to take a look at a lump on his neck. Testing found Ryan to have squamous cell carcinoma. Ryan had surgery in February and has undergone radiation treatment. In the meantime, Assistant General...2689Mon, 02 Jun 2014 15:56:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-draft-preview-carlos-rodon-r2698/With the Houston Astros having the number one overall pick for the third year in a row, there is some question about who will be selected first overall. Two years ago it looked like Mark Appel would be a lock for the first pick. The Astros saved a little money by taking Carlos Correa and this looks...2698Mon, 02 Jun 2014 08:39:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-draft-preview-nick-gordon-r2686/Arguably, it's been quite a long time since the Twins have employed a franchise-type player at the most important position on the diamond, shortstop (I'll leave J.J. Hardy out of this conversation). Since 2004 when Christian Guzman last manned the position, the Twins have sent players such as Jason...2686Mon, 02 Jun 2014 04:32:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/10-round-twins-mock-r2687/People love mock drafts. I think, mostly, so that you can mock the people that put some guesses down on paper for the world to scrutinize. I'm not above that. I regret not putting one together two years ago. Somewhere, on a message board on this site, I predicted that the Twins take Adam Brett Wal...2687Mon, 02 Jun 2014 02:21:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-ampamp-the-geek-ep-148-beating-the-yankees-and-solving-center-field-r2688/Aaron and John talk about Phil Hughes' impressive first two months, beating the new-look Yankees, why Jason Kubel is stealing at-bats from Josmil Pinto, Oswaldo Arcia and Josh Willingham returning, Aaron Hicks giving up switch-hitting, Jon Jay trade rumors, technical difficulties, Joe Mauer's strugg...2688Mon, 02 Jun 2014 01:22:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/kennys-vargas-update-r2683/Reportedly, numbers never lie. Except we all know this is false in the game of baseball. There is so much a variety of statistics and measurements that can be used to make cases pro and con. And in the case of hitters/position players, there are many various mitigating circumstances that influence t...2683Sun, 01 Jun 2014 16:35:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-only-prescription-is-less-kubel-r2682/"I've got a fever and the only prescription is less Kubel." Those words don't taste good coming out of my mouth. I consider myself a Jason Kubel fan. I've liked Kubel since he was a budding prospect in the Twins minor league system. He was supposed to be one of the left-handed power bats to join Joe...2682Fri, 30 May 2014 16:23:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/a-closer-look-at-joe-mauers-struggles-r2676/This Joe Mauer vitriol has gotten out of hand. Fans and media members alike are taking shots at him over his lack of production at the conclusion of just the season's second month of play. Sure, his power outage, run production and shortage of key hits has been the source of much consternation -- pa...2676Fri, 30 May 2014 06:12:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-draft-preview-tyler-kolek-r2677/In each of the past two seasons, Twins pitchers have ranked dead last in the majors in strikeouts. They're on track to do so again this year. It's no coincidence that they've been extremely bad at preventing runs during that time. In today's MLB environment, where strikeouts are rapidly climbing le...2677Fri, 30 May 2014 05:32:00 +0000
