The offense seems to be clicking on all cylinders and the bullpen has been surprisingly good in some tough situ...334Fri, 20 Apr 2012 14:31:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-tale-of-two-starters-r331/After the split series in New York - one in which the bullpen absorbed 70% of the innings in four games - the Minnesota Twins relievers head to Tampa feeling more taxed than the Dutch population. (Yeah, that’s right: tax humor.) On Thursday, Anthony Swarzak, a rotation fill-in who is lobbying for a...331Fri, 20 Apr 2012 05:07:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/three-bagger-mampampm-revival-capps-health-ampamp-perspective-r330/* It's funny how the timing works out sometimes. On Monday, I wrote a post here discussing the offense's struggles, noting that they stemmed largely from a lack of production from Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau. At that point, both lineup cornerstones had contributed minimally, which was a big reason...330Fri, 20 Apr 2012 03:04:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-daily-features-r329/We can't promote all the great content the Twins Daily community is generating, but if you're not reading the blogs you're missing out on...

Who would be back? Who would be healthy? However, in general, one of the players who was expected to remain with the Twins was Ben Revere. Throughout the offseason, it was just a given that, even thought he didn’t hit wel...328Thu, 19 Apr 2012 03:52:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/liriano-is-out-of-whack-mechanically-r323/Following a spring in which he struck out 33 and walked just five opponents, for three straight starts Francisco Liriano has failed to demonstrate much command over the strike zone. After posting a 49.2% first-pitch strike rate in 2011, the worst mark in baseball, the Twins left-handers has come ou...323Wed, 18 Apr 2012 14:39:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-should-hit-waivers-for-pitching-help-r322/After watching their lineup get decimated by injuries last season, the Twins were hoping they'd have better luck keeping position players healthy in the new campaign. So far, so good in that regard. There have been no broken bones, no bilateral leg weakness, no reemergence of concussion symptoms. Un...322Wed, 18 Apr 2012 05:10:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-win-7-3-shake-yankee-stadium-monkey-off-of-their-back-r320/The 7-3 victory over the New York Yankees on Monday night was one that helped knock the collective monkey off of their backs for the Minnesota Twins. After all, Yankee Stadium – be it the original or this new theme park – has long given the Twins fits. Individually, too, Twins players shrugged of...320Tue, 17 Apr 2012 03:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/mlb-payroll-by-the-numbers-r319/Every year USA Today examines the salaries of the Major League Baseball teams and their players and publishes them.
