We're going to put the HOF talk to rest for once and for all and we'll also discuss the A-Roid suspension (which, if you follow Seth on Twitter, you know he's against).

While other teams have harnessed analytics to advance their in-game strategies, the Twins remained analog in a digital world. No longer. Not long ago, the notion of “infield shifting” in the Twins dugout may have been a re...2287Wed, 15 Jan 2014 17:48:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-organizational-depth-chart-third-base-r2286/So far we’ve reviewed the catchers and the first basemen, and today we will be looking at the third basemen in the Minnesota Twins organization. The Twins have had an issue getting consistent third base play since the days of Corey Koskie. Danny Valencia was called up and had a very strong showing a...2286Tue, 14 Jan 2014 05:11:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/jonathan-mayo-on-minnesota-twins-prospects-part-3-r2285/Recently I had the opportunity to interview to MLB.com senior writer Jonathan Mayo about the Minnesota Twins farm system.

A pretty good one, too. After being drafted in the second round out of high school, Swarzak rose quickly, reach...2283Mon, 13 Jan 2014 05:46:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-and-the-geek-episode-128-spring-training-in-new-zealand-r2282/Aaron and John discuss the Minnesota Twins spring invitees, the rest of the available free agents, Aaron's reason for going to New Zealand, Hammerheart's smokey experiments, John's brilliant baseball tournament, what happened to a bunch of ex-Twins, Aaron's bucket list and one million reasons to lov...2282Mon, 13 Jan 2014 01:36:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/minnesota-twins-fantasy-camp-jan-2014-r2281/This week (Jan 3th to Jan 11th, 2014) over 130 guys (and four women) suited up in a clubhouse where real major leaguers spend their spring training and pretended to be ballplayers for an entire week.
