Dave Schoenfield's article recommending the Twins trade Glen Perkins in "Another Reason Closers are Overrated". I question whether he was asking the right questions. The questions should really be: What hap...1807Sat, 13 Jul 2013 12:11:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/one-pitcher-the-minnesota-twins-should-sell-high-r1804/It is a weekend series with the Yankees away from the All-Star break, and it is obvious that the 2013 version of the Minnesota Twins is not much better than the 2012; understandably, they should be "sellers" before the fast-approaching trade deadline. Several players, like Justin Morneau, Josh Willi...1804Sat, 13 Jul 2013 09:07:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/trade-talk-brian-duensing-r1789/One of the players this site has discussed trading is Brian Duensing. The thought is other teams might look to him as a left-handed LOOGY.   His line this year: 5.06 ERA, 41g, 32 innings, 29k, 14bb (over his career left handed hitters have a .580 OPS)   Why trade him? Brian is 30. He will be eligib...1789Sat, 13 Jul 2013 09:07:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/trade-talk-colorado-rockies-r1805/Buyers or Sellers The Rockies are sitting just below .500, but they are actually closer to the NL West lead than a Wild Card berth. They haven't made the playoffs since 2009 and their best offensive players are approaching 30. Their farm system is not impressive either, so the future might be now....1805Sat, 13 Jul 2013 03:58:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/trade-talk-san-diego-padres-r1803/Buyers or Sellers? Admit it. You kind of forgot about the Padres all tucked away down there in the National League West, playing games that finish well past your bedtime and having a generally overall boring team. Does Trevor Hoffman still play for them? No? Oh, well, who cares, they still serve fan...1803Fri, 12 Jul 2013 16:24:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/marketable-twins-2nd-of-two-part-series-r1801/Yesterday we took a look at four Twins who will have minimal value on the trade market. Today we’re going to look at the three who probably have the most value (if they’re made available… and no, Joe Mauer isn’t available). We’re going to skip Ryan Doumit and most of the bullpen. I feel like ther...1801Fri, 12 Jul 2013 04:27:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/loss-leaders-twins-at-rays-games-85-88-r1800/Lots of Hits, No Crossovers (Twins 4 Rays 7 - Game 85) Crossed through the radio broadcast of the game like going over the same creek, again and again, driving down a country highway. Things were peaceful enough until I crossed paths with the game one more time to find the Twins down three runs. As...1800Fri, 12 Jul 2013 02:54:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/20-twins-trades-the-knoblauch-debacle-r1799/An unhappy superstar hoping to rekindle the team success he achieved in his rookie season. A budding dynasty looking to add a couple final pieces to a championship-level team. Later, batteries. You know what I'm talkin' about. The Trade: BREAKDOWN! The Minnesota Twins traded Chuck Knoblauch to the N...1799Thu, 11 Jul 2013 12:54:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/trade-talk-arizona-diamondbacks-r1798/Buyers or Sellers They’re buyers. The Diamondbacks currently hold a 2.5 game lead in the National League Western Division over the Los Angeles Dodgers. However, their 47 victories is the lowest of any division leader. They’ll want to hold off the Dodgers, the Rockies are just 4.5 games back, and ign...1798Thu, 11 Jul 2013 11:58:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/marketable-twins-1st-of-two-part-series-r1797/Earlier today I asked Twitter followers (and others) to tell me who they think the Twins will or should trade. I figured I could come up with some hypotheticals and the readers at TwinsDaily could weigh in on the different proposals. I’m not suggesting these are all trades I would make, but are de...1797Thu, 11 Jul 2013 04:17:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/who-is-michael-tonkin-r1795/The Twins announced on Tuesday that Michael Tonkin would be called up to make his MLB debut. The 23-year old right-handed relief pitcher has been in the Twins organization since 2008. He was drafted in the 30th round that year out of high school and he has spent the last six seasons working his way...1795Wed, 10 Jul 2013 23:50:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/starting-pitching-2015-16-twins-and-recent-al-pennant-winners-r1794/What do the Twins need to win the pennant in 2015 or 2016? Well, several things. But the biggest deficiency of the current 2013 Twins team is starting pitching. The starters' ERA of 5.35 ranks last in the AL and last in the majors. The Twins have just 2 of the 45 pitchers in the AL with enough inni...1794Wed, 10 Jul 2013 21:32:00 +0000
