It wasn’t that Scott Baker was leaving the team – without an option year, his value the year after Tommy John isn’t particularly meaningful. It certainly isn’t that (gasp) other free agent starting pitchers are signing...1028Thu, 29 Nov 2012 00:55:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/a-full-forty-dissecting-the-40-man-roster-pitchers-r1026/Originally posted at Knuckleballsblog.com Last week the Minnesota Twins added eight players to their 40-man roster, maxing out their roster with 40 players. The Twins will likely remove at least one player prior to the upcoming Rule 5 draft, but for now, the Twins do not have room for any addit...1026Thu, 29 Nov 2012 00:41:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-interested-in-a-francisco-liriano-reunion-r1025/The Star Tribune’s LaVelle Neal reported yesterday that the Twins officials have been in contact with Francisco Liriano’s representatives and will meet next week in Nashville during the winter meetings. To many Twins fans, the news probably inspired a palm to the face followed by a head to the desk...1025Wed, 28 Nov 2012 05:46:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/hot-stove-football-and-instant-gratification-r1024/We live in a society of instant gratification. This is certainly not a provocative or groundbreaking statement to make in 2012, but that doesn’t make it less significant. We’re one month into the hot stove, one week from the Winter Meetings and about three days from a five part expose on Kyle Gibson...1024Wed, 28 Nov 2012 04:23:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/cubs-signings-spell-trouble-for-twins-r1023/With as many as four spots needing to be filled in the rotation, it figured that Terry Ryan – with his traditionally risk-averse nature in free agency – would target low-cost pitchers with upside who could be acquired on one-year deals. 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. It’s just Scott Baker so far. That’s it. I count five others that are already off the market, but all of them re-signed with their old team (or had their option picked up and were traded):...1020Tue, 27 Nov 2012 02:01:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-and-the-geek-episode-69-inactivity-prospect-lists-and-40-man-moves-r1019/Aaron and John talk about the Twins' lack of activity compared to last offseason, Denard Span and Josh Willingham trade scenarios, 40-man roster additions, prospect lists and the men who love them, Tsuyoshi Nishioka getting a raise back in Japan, Brett Myers rumors, avoiding Jeremy Guthrie, and...1019Mon, 26 Nov 2012 04:34:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gatg-ep-68-post-mortem-gleemanor-r1018/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DD132ReLx9s To hear the actual podcast, go to http://gleemanandthegeek.com/ After recording the 68th episode of their "Gleeman and The Geek" podcast Aaron Gleeman and John Bonnes are joined by documentary filmmaker Nathan Fisher for a "Cribs"-like tour of Gleemanor...1018Sat, 24 Nov 2012 19:07:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/a-thanksgiving-dessert-a-peanuty-blueprint-r1017/'Tis the season both for overeating and over-analyzing potential Twins transactions. 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. But, I do have somet...1017Sat, 24 Nov 2012 18:19:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/happy-thanksgiving-from-twins-daily-r1015/It was about one year ago that John, Nick, Parker and myself started a string of communication around consolidating our sites to create a singular place for our Twins information.

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 +0000
