This has been on my mind as I listened to the Gardenhire show yesterday morning and the post-game discussions: if Diamond is to get but a handful more starts before flipping him for Hen...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">1783</guid><pubDate>Tue, 09 Jul 2013 02:34:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Former Twins Litter All-Star Rosters</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/former-twins-litter-all-star-rosters-r1782/</link><description>The Minnesota Twins will host the 2014 All-Star Game at Target Field but a plethora of their former players will gather a year early for the Mid-Summer Classic.

The Twins are on a 70-win pace, which would be a huge improvement and a giant disappointment at the same time.
