Since signing with the Twins before the 2012 season, his story has continued to get better and better. Wednesday night was another highlight in what has been a remarkable start to his career and specifically to his 2014 season. On Wednesday, he gave his Mom a gre...2539Thu, 24 Apr 2014 04:11:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/things-you-need-to-know-about-joe-mauer-r2535/The narrative for Joe Mauer this offseason was that the transition to first base was going to heal his legs, provide him with superhuman power, and maybe help him find the missing Malaysian plane in his spare time. So far, none of that has happened. To Twins fans, the most relevant is the power. Th...2535Wed, 23 Apr 2014 05:21:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/my-twins-mt-rushmore-r2546/Back in 2002 I traveled to Mt. Rushmore for the first time; since then I've always imagined what four faces I would put on a Twins Mt. Rushmore. I think we can refer to these four by their nicknames and you will know who I'm talking about. Killer You can’t be a Twins fan from my era and not have fo...2546Wed, 23 Apr 2014 03:33:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/three-bagger-muted-mauer-pelfreys-problems-ampamp-pintos-pop-r2534/* The Twins rank third in the American League in run-scoring, which is pretty surprising on its own but even more so when you consider that Joe Mauer has chipped in very little thus far. I certainly don't mean to contribute to the typical Mauer panic that arises any time he goes through any kind...2534Wed, 23 Apr 2014 03:22:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-hangouts-tuesday-april-22-r2536/Join Seth and I tonight at 9:00 pm.

Fuld can play all three outfield positions, with his light offensive game built on above-average speed and makin...2537Tue, 22 Apr 2014 11:59:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/fun-with-history-mauch-cubbage-ejected-1978-r2528/I am all for getting the calls right if we have the technology, but I am not a fan of how the new replay rules are working. I think they need to be much more efficient (or quick!) to not annoy and potentially lose a small part of any team's fan base. With the new replay rules, something that has lo...2528Tue, 22 Apr 2014 05:41:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-searching-for-answers-at-short-and-center-r2526/Out of the 276 major-league players that accrued 300 or more plate appearances last year, Pedro Florimon and Aaron Hicks ranked 257th and 261st in OPS, respectively. Although they made up for it somewhat with strong defense at key positions, both were among the worst hitters in baseball, so it was p...2526Mon, 21 Apr 2014 03:50:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-big-switch-jason-kubel-r2527/~ Sponsored by Switch My Trip ~ Ron Gardenhire and Jason Kubel were insistent throughout spring training. Is it possible that they knew what they were talking about when they kept saying the veteran would be just fine when the regular season began? Fans and many writers wondered aloud which Jason...2527Mon, 21 Apr 2014 02:49:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/trevor-plouffe-20-r2524/The Minnesota Twins are currently 2nd in the AL in runs scored (86), 1st in OBP (.353) and 1st in walks (82). They also lead the AL in runs per game at 5.76. That’s not too bad for an offense that was routinely picked to finish towards the bottom of the league in nearly every category. Yes, it’s on...2524Sat, 19 Apr 2014 14:34:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/on-phil-hughes-and-re-establishing-the-curve-r2522/Over his career, Phil Hughes has seemingly been one solid secondary pitch away from taking over the world. Since his prospect days, his curveball was considered this dangerous weapon. For Hughes, unfortunately, the pitch never manifested as that killer pitch as projected. Eventually, the pitch was...2522Fri, 18 Apr 2014 13:44:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-twins-lineup-is-producing-r2519/The season is still very young. I don't want to get too wrapped up in early optimism, but something has to be said about the lineup and production thus far, especially considering the generally pessimistic nature I think most of us felt at the close of spring training. There was a lot of gnashing of...2519Fri, 18 Apr 2014 03:03:00 +0000
