The question is when they will be most ripe? Glen Perkins hasn't been especially effective this year, but he still profiles as possible closer long term, with well over a strikeout per inning. Even better, this spring he signed a deal that keeps his sala...543Tue, 19 Jun 2012 00:47:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-ampamp-the-geek-ep-46-loving-a-filthy-twitter-r541/Aaron and special guest co-hosts Parker Hageman and Joe Nelson talk about Trevor Plouffe's power explosion, Liam Hendriks' long-ball troubles, whether or not the Twins should be looking to trade Denard Span, Josh Willingham, Justin Morneau, and other veterans, why a filthy Twitter is a good thing,...541Mon, 18 Jun 2012 13:49:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-are-behind-in-ampquotera-of-pitchingampquot-r540/Original post from North Dakota Twins Fan http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mAFtdGjpK3M/T9602G7XrmI/AAAAAAAACOQ/UfaDWKM00f8/s400/PowerPitchers.jpg Twins fans are well aware of how great pitching has been across baseball this season.
