In March, we sent writers to Ft Myers to cover the Twins' Spring Training action. We shot some amazing photos, video, and were able to directly interact with both the front office and MLB/MiLB...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">2458</guid><pubDate>Mon, 31 Mar 2014 13:21:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Why Watch the Twins in 2014</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/why-watch-the-twins-in-2014-r2457/</link><description>On Saturday night I ventured a guess as to when the optimism (or the better word may have been &#x2018;excitement&#x2019;) disappeared. As we anticipate this afternoon&#x2019;s Twins opener in Chicago, I thought it only fair to take a look at several reasons for people to continue watch and enjoying Twins baseball. Yes,...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">2457</guid><pubDate>Mon, 31 Mar 2014 05:27:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Season Preview: Future Shock</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/season-preview-future-shock-r2456/</link><description>For three straight years, the refrain for hopeful Twins fans has been the same: Keep waiting, help is on the way.
That can be difficult to accept, especially when few signs of progress are evident on the field. The Twins lost 99 games in 2011, and they've lost 96 in each season since. It wouldn't be...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">2456</guid><pubDate>Mon, 31 Mar 2014 04:26:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Twins Looking for Leadership Out of Suzuki</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-looking-for-leadership-out-of-suzuki-r2455/</link><description>This offseason the Minnesota Twins found themselves with the difficult task of attempting to replace something irreplaceable. 
When Joe Mauer made his decision that he would no longer be putting on  the tools of ignorance, the front office and manager reviewed their options. Internally, they were hi...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">2455</guid><pubDate>Mon, 31 Mar 2014 01:34:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>What Happened to the Optimism?</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/what-happened-to-the-optimism-r2454/</link><description>First things first... Happy 2014 Minnesota Twins Opening Day to the Twins Daily community!
As the 2013 season came to yet-another frustrating end, many Twins fans found baseball difficult to watch. Many Septembers, prospects are called up and fans can catch a glimpse of the future.

 Alex Presley began spring training as a competitor for the Twins  centerfield job.

For an entire week leading up to the season, it has felt like a broken record (or...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">2452</guid><pubDate>Sat, 29 Mar 2014 22:06:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Consistency Earned Kyle Gibson the Fifth Starter Job</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/consistency-earned-kyle-gibson-the-fifth-starter-job-r2450/</link><description>When it was announced Minnesota Twins pitcher Scott Diamond went unclaimed through waivers and would not be named the fifth starter, the left-hander doffed his cap to his competition in Kyle Gibson. 
The decision was a tough one, with  the left-hander being out of options, but Gibson&#x2019;s strong spring...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">2450</guid><pubDate>Fri, 28 Mar 2014 20:56:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Put Him in Coach?

The torch, for the time being, was being passed along from Kirby to Torii to Denard to Aaron.
