Topics include partying at The Gleemanor, Alex Meyer the substitute teacher, dropping Darin Mastroianni from the 40-man roster, throwing televisions off balconies, hypothesiz...2255Mon, 30 Dec 2013 03:54:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/top-13-stories-6-justin-morneau-traded-r2254/August 31st marked the end of an era for the Minnesota Twins. Justin Morneau had been a cornerstone for perennial contenders, and although those days were long past by the time of his departure, the fans never forgot. In the big picture, the decision to trade Morneau was essentially a no-brainer. St...2254Mon, 30 Dec 2013 03:43:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/top-13-stories-7-twins-draft-kohl-stewart-r2253/I guess if there is one positive to having three straight 96+ loss seasons, it is the high draft picks that the Minnesota Twins have received. In 2011, the Twins had the second worst record in baseball, so they had the second overall pick in the 2012 draft. With it, they selected Byron Buxton. In 20...2253Sun, 29 Dec 2013 14:02:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/top-13-stories-8-aaron-hicks-lost-year-r2252/Two of the biggest stories from 2012 led to one of the biggest (and worst) stories of the Minnesota Twins 2013 season. Last winter, just one week separated the trade of center fielders Denard Span and Ben Revere to NL East teams. At that point, the writing was on the wall: Twins fans would see cente...2252Sun, 29 Dec 2013 05:04:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/top-13-stories-9-kyle-gibson-promoted-r2251/There was one 2013 Target Field game that felt like an event. It was June 29th, the opponent was the Royals and the Minnesota Twins starting pitcher was Kyle Gibson. The promotion of Gibson was anticipated for months, which is what led to it being such a big story. [PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]Objectively, he...2251Sat, 28 Dec 2013 07:57:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/top-13-stories-10-brian-dozier-breaks-through-r2250/2013 was a big year for Brian Dozier. He had been hyped (maybe over-hyped) in spring training in 2012, and when he finally made his big league debut as a 24-year-old in early May, it proved to be a major struggle for him. Dozier learned a lot from 2012, and came into 2013 ready to take the next step...2250Sat, 28 Dec 2013 07:03:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/top-13-stories-11-kubel-returns-doumit-exits-r2249/In their efforts to repair the damage of three straight 90-loss seasons, the Twins front office acted decisively this offseason. And, sure, maybe part of this decisive plan was to steal an idea from the Blues Brothers and get the band back together, adding a name that (at the very least) will remind...2249Fri, 27 Dec 2013 06:42:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/top-13-stories-12-drew-butera-traded-r2248/It’s possible that Minnesota Twins fans, and Twins Daily fans in particular, got a little too worked up about Drew Butera’s Twins career. I’ll grant you that. Nevertheless, it was big news when the Twins lone “trade deadline” move was trading Butera to the Dodgers. The immediate announcement was for...2248Thu, 26 Dec 2013 23:59:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-40-man-roster-analysis-infield-r2247/Over the last week or so, I've been investigating the Twins' 40-man roster to try to determine who will contribute to the next good Twins team. I've reached the end of this short journey and will cover the infielders today. However, I did complete this activity in four parts, so if you missed the...2247Thu, 26 Dec 2013 14:14:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/top-13-stories-13-twins-in-the-wbc-r2246/As happens every three years, Major League Baseball's Spring Training gets interrupted by the World Baseball Classic. Some teams had to qualify in the fall of 2012 but by March, 2013 teams comprised of players from 16 countries participated. In 2013, the Minnesota Twins were very well represented i...2246Thu, 26 Dec 2013 06:21:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-still-have-room-for-pitching-r2245/The major priority of the Minnesota Twins' General Manager, Terry Ryan, has been to re-build a starting rotation that has been at the bottom of the major leagues in pretty much every statistical category in 2013. There is general agreement that the rotation was pretty much a mess in 2013 and n...2245Tue, 24 Dec 2013 17:02:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/keeping-the-dream-alive-r2243/2013 was another difficult season for the Minnesota Twins and their fans. However, that does not meant that are not some terrific stories that came out of the season. As we look to the hope these holidays bring, I think there are stories from the Twins that can inspire hope in anyone. Poor performan...2243Mon, 23 Dec 2013 20:36:00 +0000
