I did make it home from St. Louis Wednesday in time to see Mauer’s rehab debut in...2948Fri, 08 Aug 2014 12:20:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-future-of-twins39-catchers-r2947/Stuart Turner, Fort Myers Miracle Turner was the Twins third round pick in 2013. The college-experienced catcher was expected to move through the system quickly and he is already at High-A. His offensive numbers are adequate but he has been known more for his defensive skills.

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.
