A breath of fresh air and a new perspective, Baldelli represented a complete change from the Twins' old guard. While the losing in October hasn&#x2019;t ceased yet, the club has stockpiled a p...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">11741</guid><pubDate>Wed, 12 Jan 2022 17:05:10 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Top 20 Minnesota Twins Assets of 2022: Part 4 (1-5)</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/top-twins-assets-1-5-kirilloff-polanco-buxton/</link><description>Before getting started, you can get up to speed on the ground rules, which were covered in the first installment.

Remember, this lockout revolves around only Major League Baseball and its players. Minor League Baseball is not covered under that umbrella, and while that&#x2019;s often to its detriment, that means affiliated action will go off without a hitch in the year ahead.

His father, Ronald Acu&#xF1;a Sr., signed with the Mets in 1997. He played parts of eight minor league seasons and hit .282/.330/.364 (.694) while never playing higher than the Double-A level.

	1. Rebuilds Don&#x2019;t Guarantee Future Success

	Many fan bases love the idea of a rebuild because of the hope it can offer for the future. In recent memory, there have been successful rebuilds in Houston and Chicago...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">11736</guid><pubDate>Tue, 11 Jan 2022 17:25:07 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Could the Twins Weather the Blowback of a Luis Arraez Trade?</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/could-twins-weather-luis-arraez-trade/</link><description>Luis Arraez is an extremely popular player. This is known. Merely bringing up the idea of trading him can stir up considerable emotion and anger, as I've learned here and on Twitter.




	I get it. It's easy to see why he is so popular. Arraez has earned the affinity of casual fans and hardcores...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">11740</guid><pubDate>Tue, 11 Jan 2022 05:43:19 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>A Bad Year Starts a Promising Decade</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/a-bad-year-starts-a-promising-decade-r11738/</link><description>However, Nick points out that lost in a 69-93 record was a fair amount of promise. Future cornerstones AJ Pierzysnki and Cristian Guzman established themselves as promising regulars, and Johan Santana was on the team all year, albeit without his deadly changeup. Yet.

Randy Dobnak

	2021: 50 2/3 IP, 7.64 ERA (56 ERA+), 5.70 ERA, 12% K, 5% BB, -1.3 WAR

	

	It feels like centuries ago, but Dobnak was once a terrific pitcher for the Twins. Bursting onto the scene in 2019, Dobnak produced a sterling 2.25 ERA over his first 68 Major League innings.

After being delayed by the pandemic, the current crop of IFAs can sign with MLB teams provided they turn 17 before September 1st, 2022.
