The 28-year-old finally made his way onto an Opening Day roster last year, only to have his season shortened by a concussion and ended by a broken tibia. But the Twins were patient too, re-signing him this offseason. Maybe he co...2380Tue, 04 Mar 2014 03:09:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-hangouts-tuesday-march-4-r2379/2379Tue, 04 Mar 2014 02:04:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/roughed-up-rays-6-twins-3-r2377/In today's 6-3 loss to the Tampa Rays, the Twins pitchers didn't have a great day. Starting was Ricky Nolasco, whose prefix is already slowly turning from "Mr." into "Most Expensive Free Agent the Twins Ever Signed." (MEFATES?) Anyway, Mr. Nolasco threw two scoreless innings, but five of the seven o...2377Mon, 03 Mar 2014 00:36:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/pitcher-preparation-r2375/What are pitchers focusing on in the first couple of spring training games? It's pretty basic, but requires some balance. Yesterday's starting pitcher, Scott Diamond, explained "At this point right now, first outing, I'm trying to attack the zone. My focus right now is working down." Closer Glen Pe...2375Sun, 02 Mar 2014 04:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/finding-smiles-twins-6-red-sox-2-r2374/What was the fan reaction in Hammond Stadium following the gut-punching news about Miguel Sano? Honestly, it was smiles. Basking, wondrous smiles expressed with the eyes and shoulders moreso than the lips. Or at least that what I saw as I walked up to the Hammond Stadium gates. Yes, the Twins had re...2374Sun, 02 Mar 2014 03:27:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/ligaments-are-stupid-r2373/Ligaments are stupid. The 12 people who follow me on Twitter already know that I feel this way. It's childish perhaps and it certainly ignores their important function in the human body, but I don't care; ligaments suck. A report came out this morning that super prospect and ultimate swagger-have...2373Sat, 01 Mar 2014 14:43:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-on-twitter-312014-r2372/It's been over four months since I have updated the Twins on Twitter feature. Some players have moved to other organizations. The Twins have also added several players to the organization who are on Twitter. Some are active. Some... not so much. Consider the below a resource for Twins fans who happ...2372Sat, 01 Mar 2014 13:52:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/its-official-sano-to-have-tommy-john-surgery-r2371/Twins fans may have gone to bed on Friday night excited to get their first glimpse of the 2014 Minnesota Twins. Saturday's noon (central time) Twins game will be televised on Fox Sports North. Twins fans were also holding on to a hope that uber-prospect Miguel Sano might be able to avoid Tommy John...2371Sat, 01 Mar 2014 13:03:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-daily-spring-training-advanced-scouting-r2370/So the Twins Daily official Spring Training coverage begins next week when John Bonnes touches down in Fort Myers. However, last week I had the privilege -- nay -- honor of getting a tour of Hammond Stadium’s updates with my family. While in Florida for my -- ahem -- nuptials (sorry ladies), we mad...2370Fri, 28 Feb 2014 05:54:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-trouble-with-counting-on-kubel-r2369/Although he was signed to a non-guaranteed minor-league deal, the Twins appear to have big plans for Jason Kubel. "We brought him over here for a reason," said Ron Gardenhire recently. That reason is to add a powerful veteran bat to a lineup that ranked 11th in the AL in OPS and 12th in runs scored...2369Fri, 28 Feb 2014 05:19:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/random-thoughts-from-the-twins-intrasquad-game-today-r2368/Originally published at The Tenth Inning Stretch --- Today the Minnesota Twins unofficially had their first game of spring training; it was an intrasquad contest.

As we’ve learned time after time, actual spring training statistics mean very little. Most positions are already accounted for. However, as we have documen...2367Thu, 27 Feb 2014 08:51:00 +0000
