This concept has become a bit more complicated due to the Twins' relative success this season. A terrible team is an easy seller while a great team is an eager buyer. The Twins are neither gre...1683Fri, 21 Jun 2013 12:13:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/weekly-links-n-thinks-r1682/The Twins put together a solid series against the White Sox to earn a three-game sweep. The rival Sox are plummeting in the AL Central; it is still nice to beat a hated foe. Powerful offensive performances and some decent pitching helped the club in the series. Now it is time to see what the team ca...1682Fri, 21 Jun 2013 11:55:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/rolled-sox-twins-white-sox-recap-r1681/Holding a Handful of Water (Twins 7 White Sox 5 – Game 66) As a kid, I used to fill my cupped palm with water to see how long I could hold onto it. No matter how steady I held my hand, the water always slipped away. I grew up Iowa. We made our own fun and we liked it.

Facing arguably the league’s worst lineup, the lefty made it through five innings with only one run allowed but fell apart in the sixth, coughing up a sin...1678Fri, 21 Jun 2013 02:53:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/trading-away-the-position-players-r1675/This is the time when people often make wild trade speculations. I've tried not to do that here, but rather propose who could be traded and what is a realistic return. The Twins can do very well here if they are willing to be sellers. The Twins are going to have to make key decisions about who to k...1675Thu, 20 Jun 2013 11:22:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/byron-buxton-and-the-art-of-being-good-r1671/Stop me if you have heard this before but Byron Buxton is doing stupid good stuff on the baseball field.

Twins fans will recall how splendidly the last attempt to convert Slowey to a reliever turned out. On some level, unless you're one of the many local scribes who open...1670Wed, 19 Jun 2013 03:18:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/those-damn-yankees-a-twins-fans-shocking-confession-r1668/This is the 3rd 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.   Psst.

They are pretty glaring. Overall this year, Minnesota Twins starter Mike Pelfrey is 3-6 with a 6.12 ERA in his first 13 starts. He’s allowing over 1.6 base runners per inning. It has been a tough go. In April, he posted a 7.66 ERA.
