Since pitching well in his first five starts back in April and May, the lefty has gone 2-7 with a 6.65 ERA, 1.73 WHIP and 28/24...1855Wed, 24 Jul 2013 04:29:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/ampquothello-good-byeampquot-poll-r1850/You say yes, I say no You say stop and I say go go go, oh no You say goodbye and I say hello Hello hello I don’t know why you say goodbye, I say hello This is the time of year when, like it or not, there’s a lot of discussion going on about who will or will not be wearing a Twins uniform a week or t...1850Tue, 23 Jul 2013 17:24:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/watch-him-grow-kyle-gibsons-early-results-r1849/In a lost season, baseball fans take what they can get. Most get by on hope, and for the Twins, looking toward the future has begun as early as ever. Before elbow surgery, Kyle Gibson's name often topped lists of reasons to keep the faith. Though he's stumbled out of the gate, he has the tools to wo...1849Tue, 23 Jul 2013 15:37:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/whats-wrong-with-scott-diamond-r1848/Something isn't right with Scott Diamond. The man who was supposed to be a calming force in the Twins starting rotation has become a punching bag for opponents. He hasn't won a game since June 20th when he gave up four runs in a little over five innings. A sophomore slump has hit Diamond hard and it...1848Tue, 23 Jul 2013 13:49:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/on-3rd-base-coaching-decisions-r1847/Let’s start with this: I don’t care if Aaron Hicks slid or not – Joe Vavra blew the call to send him last night in the fourth inning. This is not debatable. I doubt Vavra would debate it. And even had Hicks slipped into some shiny leather and slid like Kate Beckinsale in Underworld, he was still goi...1847Tue, 23 Jul 2013 04:55:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/monday-morning-madness-july-22-2013-r1844/The Twins are on fire. They have won back-to-back series for the first time since late May/early June. In doing so, they have put a little cushion between themselves and the last place White Sox. The Twins really capitalized on the Indians' pathetic defense (most notably Lonnie Chisenhall, who I...1844Mon, 22 Jul 2013 11:44:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/end-of-twins-beginning-of-baseball-twins-vs-indians-92-94-r1843/No More All-Star Moments (Twins 3 Indians 2 – Game 92) This is the story of the 2013 Twins, and there’s really not a whole lot left to cover in these remaining games. True believers will hold out for a miracle, a string of victories, and playoff glory. I love all things TC, but I can’t believe in th...1843Mon, 22 Jul 2013 03:04:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-and-the-geek-ep-103-trade-deadline-101-r1842/Aaron and John talk about what to expect from the trade deadline, Scott Diamond's demise, John reviewing ballparks and beer from his West Coast vacation, criticizing an opposing manager for once, analyzing the Twins' defense, dating by way of pitching matchups, eating money to move Justin Morneau, w...1842Mon, 22 Jul 2013 02:31:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/trade-talk-los-angeles-angels-of-anaheim-r1840/Buyers or Sellers It’s somewhat unusual these days to see the trade deadline looming and the Angels not making any moves, but in all likelihood that’s what’s going to happen this season. Los Angeles is mired in mediocrity while Texas and Oakland appear to be running away with the division.

I excluded pitchers that ended up as relievers, and I excluded pitchers such as baseball's version of Gandolf the Gray (Jamie Moyer), who did not sign.

Yet, with the All-Star Game and its requisite four-day break falling in mid-July, it's tidier to simply use the Midsummer Class...1835Fri, 19 Jul 2013 14:44:00 +0000
