This strategy makes sense for a couple reasons: it adds multipl...1023Wed, 28 Nov 2012 04:20:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-must-end-revolving-door-at-shortstop-r1022/In recent seasons, it has seemed like a revolving door at some key positions for the Twins. One of the most problematic areas has been their search for a shortstop. This search continues and it's hard to see an end in sight. In the last decade, the Twins have used eight different Opening Day star...1022Tue, 27 Nov 2012 16:12:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-offseason-by-the-numbers-r1020/1 Free agent starting pitchers from the TwinsCentric 2013 Offseason Handbook that have signed with a new team.

Most of the truly accomplished and respected Twins' bloggers have presented their blueprints for general consumption. They prognosticated quickly, and now, three weeks later, I'm doing the same.

I’ve never been in favor of giving long-term contracts to pitchers. I thought the Mets would regret giving Johan Santana five years at the salary levels they paid him. I have never advocated that the Twins should get involved in a bidding war for a Cliff L...1014Wed, 21 Nov 2012 15:48:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-must-pay-to-improve-r1013/Ask Terry Ryan what his payroll limitation is for next year and he'll tell you that he doesn't view payroll as a limitation. It's his way of sidestepping an important question, possibly at the behest of an ownership that has notoriously shied away from big spending. Ryan can downplay the impor...1013Wed, 21 Nov 2012 04:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gibson-hicks-among-8-players-added-to-twins-40-man-roster-r1012/On Tuesday, the Minnesota Twins announced the additions of eight players to their 40 man roster. This protects those players from being selected in the December 6 Rule 5 draft. They added pitchers Kyle Gibson, Caleb Thielbar, BJ Hermsen, Tim Wood and Michael Tonkin, along with catcher Josmil Pinto,...1012Tue, 20 Nov 2012 22:13:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/money-matters-r1011/Originally posted at Knuckleballsblog.com.
