He provides defensive flexibility with the ability to play centerfield occasionally. This might make him one of...11666Wed, 22 Dec 2021 13:20:14 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/note-to-falvine-please-dont-make-a-trade-this-offseason-r11665/The two areas that the Minnesota Twins had an immense need heading into this offseason were starting pitcher and shortstop. Now, the cupboards are all but bare in each of these areas with 13 of Aaron Gleeman’s top 15 free agent starting pitchers and four of Gleeman’s top six free agent shortstop...11665Tue, 21 Dec 2021 22:10:12 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/ranking-the-top-5-draft-picks-in-twins-history-r11663/When it comes to the rankings below, there are many factors to consider. Should the rankings be based on the team’s best players of all time? Should the rankings be associated with players found later in the draft that provided tremendous value? In the end, it’s likely a combination of multiple...11663Tue, 21 Dec 2021 17:40:04 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/will-jos%C3%A9-miranda-make-the-twins-opening-day-roster-r11659/To say Miranda’s breakout was a surprise is an understatement. The Twins left him off the 40-man roster last winter, and he went unpicked in the Rule 5 Draft. A solid but unspectacular hitter before 2021, Miranda adjusted his approach at the plate and unlocked tremendous power.  Among 302 u...11659Tue, 21 Dec 2021 11:50:13 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/what-if-the-rebuild-is-the-twins-confidence-r11664/Right now, we sit in the midst of a lockout with no end in sight and no moves on the horizon. Before the shutdown, Minnesota’s only move of consequence was in signing starter Dylan Bundy to a one-year deal. The rotation remains bare, but at this point, the free-agent market could be categorized...11664Tue, 21 Dec 2021 00:40:09 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/minnesota-twins-pitching-prospects-youth-movement/Aaron Gleeman penned a great piece for The Athletic last week addressing the team's hesitance to spend on pitching. This has been a trend for years, and now has become a glaring oddity, given the severe need for rotation help. Unless they sign Carlos Rodón (unlikely), it is clear the Twins...11660Mon, 20 Dec 2021 03:26:46 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-the-geek-ep-557-the-myth-of-the-rebuild-r11658/11658Sun, 19 Dec 2021 17:50:38 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/making-moves-to-the-bullpen-r11655/The Twins need some bullpen help in 2022 in addition to significant rotation help. Unfortunately, there’s only so much money to go around. Transitioning some younger arms into bullpen pieces could benefit the players and team alike and get them into the majors that much quicker.

Of the 1,419 1/3 innings pitched from the Twins pitching staff in 2021, Twins relievers pitched approximately 617 2/3  innings pitche...11653Sat, 18 Dec 2021 14:00:16 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/starting-pitching-trade-partners-miami-marlins-r11654/As the lockout meanders into the holiday season, Twins fans find themselves in starting pitching limbo. The floor of the rotation was raised marginally by the addition of Dylan Bundy prior to the lockout.

He was a stud from a strong SEC conference. Rooker was coming off a ridiculous 1.306 OPS and power that was expected to translate. However, he was immediately tabbed as a bat-only prospect, and his greatest path to t...11646Thu, 16 Dec 2021 21:40:07 +0000
