	Earlier this week, Cody Christie wrote an article about Three Twins Pitchers Due to Bounce Back. Today I will dive deeper into one of those three, Jharel Cotton.

The former MVP missed more than half of the 60-game season with injuries including the best of three playoff series that ended in a wh...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">11786</guid><pubDate>Sun, 23 Jan 2022 12:50:10 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Rod Carew or Kirby Puckett: Who Had the Better Career?</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/rod-carew-or-kirby-puckett-who-had-the-better-career-r11785/</link><description>If you look at any ranking of the best Minnesota Twins players of all time, you&#x2019;re going to find Rod Carew and Kirby Puckett firmly locked into the top five of that list. Both Carew and Puckett were legends whose names will be remembered forever.

Using an opener is one idea that originated in Tampa that other teams have adopted in recent years. In 2019, many teams jumped on the opener bandwagon,...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">11781</guid><pubDate>Sat, 22 Jan 2022 12:55:08 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>CBA Musings (1/21): What&#x2019;s Happening and What&#x2019;s Next?</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/cba-musings-121-what%E2%80%99s-happening-and-what%E2%80%99s-next-r11787/</link><description>The players were disappointed in what the league presented to them a week ago, especially after taking more than a month to do so.

Unfortunately he followed it up with three years that significantly hurt his outlook in the eyes of many evaluators.

The organization began the Hall of Fame with its inaugural class back in 2000. In the 22 years since, we&#x2019;ve seen names like Bert Blyleven, Torii Hunter, Zoilo Versailles, and Justin Morneau added to the ra...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">11780</guid><pubDate>Thu, 20 Jan 2022 17:08:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>The Lockout Diaries: Week 7</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/mlb-lockout-diaries-week-seven/</link><description>When I wrote to you last I expressed minimal hope for the bargaining session that was about to take place. It turns out my total lack of faith was warranted.&#xA0;&#xA0;

He hit 31 homers and drove in 67 runs in 359 plate appearances. Since then, he struggled in a shortened 2020 and bounced back in 2021. Let&#x2019;s examine his case for an extension.&#xA0;

All three have something to prove in 2022, which can be exciting for a team like the Twins that need big-league pitching depth.&#xA0;

	Taylor Rogers bounced back from a difficult 2020 and pitched very well in 2021 until a finger injury knocked him out. With uncertainty in the bullpen and free agency looming next winter, should the Twins extend Rogers beyond 2022?

He went on to post a 0.77 ERA with Houston over the final half of 2018. In 139 1/3 innings since Pressly has tallied a 2.45 ERA to go with an 11.8 K/9.
