Football teams are being eliminated from the playoffs one-by-one. The Minnesota Twins Caravan is winding down. So it must be almost time for TwinsFest. I know many fans enjoy going to TwinsFest yearly. Those folks already already know what they want t...1144Thu, 24 Jan 2013 13:19:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/for-better-or-worse-trevor-plouffe-r1142/Stability at third base and right-handed power have both been in short supply for the Twins over the past decade or so. Trevor Plouffe has developed into one of the team’s most interesting commodities because he has the potential to fill both needs, and could do so at a relatively low cost for the n...1142Wed, 23 Jan 2013 02:37:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/2013-spring-training-guide-to-fort-myers-part-i-the-logistics-r1141/Less than a month for Pitchers and Catchers to report to Fort Myers so it is about time for you to make your arrangements to see your Minnesota Twins. That means it's time for the second annual Fort Myers Guides. This season there will be three guides and will be different than last year's. I n...1141Wed, 23 Jan 2013 00:52:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/worst-twins-of-all-time-scott-klingenbeck-r1136/There have been plenty of great players in the history of the Twins franchise and there have also been plenty of duds. In my on-going offseason series, I have been taking a look at some of the worst players to ever wear a Twins uniform. In previous posts, the series covered Butch Huskey and Terry Fe...1136Tue, 22 Jan 2013 01:28:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-and-the-geek-episode-77-butera-saunders-and-haircut-prostitution-r1135/Aaron and John talk about Drew Butera and evaluating catcher defense, Brian Duensing starting or relieving, pursuing Joe Saunders, drinking at noon, gay athletes, online dating, the vetting process for weirdos, talking prostitution during a haircut, interviewing Dave St. Peter, the arbitration proce...1135Mon, 21 Jan 2013 17:23:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-scope-of-a-rebuild-r1134/There is little debate over the fact that the Twins' moves this offseason haven't done much to help ensure significant improvement in 2013. This club appears to have its sights set fully on a target somewhere further down the line. Among fans and media, there seems to be a split between people who q...1134Mon, 21 Jan 2013 04:26:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/mlb-teams-slyly-raising-spring-training-ticket-prices-r1133/Do you have plans to get away from the cold and snow and feel the sand between your toes, the sun on your back, and hopefully catch some Twins spring training baseball in Florida? What better way to forget your problems and get away from it all? Well, if you are going, you might want to raise your c...1133Sat, 19 Jan 2013 20:59:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/campaign-elect-joe-mauer-for-2-hitter-r1132/Earlier last week, I looked at the Minnesota Twins possible candidates for the leadoff hitter role in 2013. With Denard Span and Ben Revere traded to the National League, there is some question about who will step up and earn the leadoff spot out of spring training. Aaron Hicks looks like the leadof...1132Sat, 19 Jan 2013 20:38:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/drew-butera-and-defensive-prowess-r1130/On Thursday the Minnesota Twins and catcher Drew Butera avoided arbitration and agreed to a one-year, $700,000 contract, an almost assured sign that Butera will be on the roster as the team’s third backstop. Why, you ask, might the Twins invest almost a million dollars in a player who is completely...1130Fri, 18 Jan 2013 16:22:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/for-better-or-worse-justin-morneau-r1129/Justin Morneau presents a paradox for the 2013 Twins. If the club is truly in full rebuild mode and is more interested in saving money than taking financial risks in a meaningful effort to compete -- as appears to be the case -- then why hang on to an expensive veteran with one year left on his cont...1129Fri, 18 Jan 2013 06:16:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-and-former-twins-in-the-world-baseball-classic-r1127/On Thursday, the 2013 World Baseball Classic rosters were announced. The day began with MLB Network unveiling Team USA. In the afternoon, the rosters of the other participating countries were announced. Three years ago, Tom Stuifbergen became a household name for the team from The Netherlands when h...1127Thu, 17 Jan 2013 21:56:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-notes-the-right-to-bear-arms-r1125/Something has been bothering me over the last couple of days.Oddly, it has nothing to do with shrinking payroll or lack of top-of-the-rotation starters. It has to do with the quantity of pitchers the Twins are bringing to camp. Though the Twins are bringing a franchise-record 34 pitchers to Major L...1125Wed, 16 Jan 2013 23:31:00 +0000
