I use all the best sites – Wikipedia, Google, Bing, eBay, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and Baseball Reference. If the player isn't...1712Wed, 26 Jun 2013 13:03:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/which-pitcher-will-lose-his-job-r1710/With all the hype and excitement surrounding the Kyle Gibson promotion, the Minnesota Twins, behind closed doors, are likely pondering a more complicated question: who is going to get the axe to make room for Gibson's long-term presence in the rotation? Twins’ General Manager Terry Ryan has stated t...1710Wed, 26 Jun 2013 11:31:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/new-swing-helps-twins-clete-thomas-contribute-r1708/What Clete Thomas experienced last year at the major league level was the opposition's complete ownership of the airspace in and around the strike zone. He was, as the internet kids say, pwned. In 29 plate appearances in 2012, he struck out 16 times and did not draw a walk. What the data tells us,...1708Wed, 26 Jun 2013 02:56:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/is-there-a-market-for-morneau-r1707/The Twins needed a big year from Justin Morneau. Not because it was going to help push them over the top, but because a productive Morneau may have yielded a prospect or two at the trade deadline that would prove helpful toward the rebuilding effort. Unfortunately, Morneau has done very little this...1707Wed, 26 Jun 2013 02:42:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/those-damn-yankees-oh-a-derek-jeter-gift-basket-awkward-r1706/This is the 6th story in "Those Damn Yankees" series, stories about Twins-Yankees rivalry by some of our favorite Twins Daily writers, leading up to the Bombers visit July 1st to the 4th. You wake up hazy -- perhaps a little hung-over and still tasting those apple-tinis from the previous night.

I don't mind reading them and trying to understand what they mean and what they are telling me about a player. But I very rarely use more than a Triple Slash line (BA/OBP/SLG) with the OPS in parentheses. I like OPS, but like a...1705Tue, 25 Jun 2013 10:02:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/kyle-gibsons-aaa-rochester-season-game-by-game-r1702/Before the season started manager Gene Glynn named Kyle Gibson the number two starter in the rotation, a mild surprise considering Gibson’s hype, but he did take the mound in game two, against the Buffalo Bisons. In his first start of the year, Gibson pitched 5 innings, giving up four hits, one r...1702Tue, 25 Jun 2013 00:47:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/series-preview-twins-marlins-626-627-r1701/The Minnesota Twins continue their road trip in Miami after dropping two of three games in Cleveland over the weekend. The Twins, struggling to reach the .500 mark for the season, face the worst-in-the-National League Marlins for a short two-game set in Marlins Park.   After seeing the roster plunde...1701Mon, 24 Jun 2013 23:27:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/what-games-twins-at-indians-recap-r1700/Department of Water and Power (Twins 1 Indians 5 Game 69) It’s really easy to forget about a baseball game when you open up your blinds to see water slapping into your window like gravity made a 90 degree mistake. Weekend baseball series are like a family cookout you can take with you on the car ste...1700Mon, 24 Jun 2013 17:40:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/kernels-post-buxton-era-begins-welcome-max-kepler-r1699/It may surprise some Twins and Kernels fans to learn that, even with the promotion of fan-favorite Byron Buxton on Sunday, the Kernels still have an outfielder in their line up that was ranked among the Top 10 prospects of the parent Minnesota Twins coming in to the season. The reason for the surpri...1699Mon, 24 Jun 2013 16:08:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/2013-minnesota-twins-trade-tutorial-r1698/It is a little over a month away from the July 31st trade deadline. The season has started to look a little better for the Twins but the club is still in the bottom half of the AL Central. This should mean the club will be sellers at this year's trade deadline. As stated previously, the Twins focus...1698Mon, 24 Jun 2013 14:40:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/for-minnesota-twins-the-future-is-now-r1696/We are reminded in the forums here daily that Twins fans have their (sometimes contentious) differences of opinion, but one thing everyone seems to agree on is that this season has been vastly more enjoyable than the previous two. In part, that's because the Twins are a far more respectable team. Th...1696Mon, 24 Jun 2013 04:29:00 +0000
