In 2011, it was Michael Cuddyer. Last season, the honors went to Drew Butera. This year's position player was veteran infielder Jamey Carroll.

So, in my mind, 2013 would be all about development and improvement. Those two things would be the keys, the things I would be looking for, in 2013.

But 2013 has been a breakout year for the 27-year-old Kentucky grad, In 22 starts with the Rochester Red...1919Tue, 06 Aug 2013 01:21:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-weekend-recap-r1918/We can finally put the "could the Twins even beat a AAA team" jokes to bed. They can. The Astros are pathetic, even if their rebuild strategy is being lauded by many. While that strategy might work out long-term, the current team is rotten and I can't even imagine being an Astros fan right now....1918Mon, 05 Aug 2013 11:48:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/arcia-powers-up-twins-offense-r1917/As I sat at Target Field on Sunday afternoon, watching a dull game play out between two of the worst teams in the majors, I was finding it difficult to kindle my interest. A lineup that included Jamey Carroll, Doug Bernier, Clete Thomas and Chris Herrmann was being shut down by a pitcher who had ent...1917Mon, 05 Aug 2013 04:17:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-on-twitter-early-august-edition-r1916/It's been about six weeks since the last time we updated the list of Minnesota Twins or minor league related players and personnel.

The game was tug of war, and the rag tied onto the rope was still in the middle of the mudpit in the center.

Entering Friday night’s game against the Astros, the Twins offense ranked 21st in both runs scored and wRC+. The starting pitching has been horrific even by recent Twins standards, ranking last in ERA (5.18), last in xFIP...1909Sat, 03 Aug 2013 11:40:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/nothing-will-keep-us-together-twins-versus-royals-games-102-104-r1905/The Way the Ball Bounces (Twins 2 Royals 7 – Game 102) With the trade talk making the Minnesota Twins look like the garage sale everybody drives past, baseball kept being baseball.
