Rijo pitched well at Cedar Rapids the entire season as he put up a 2.86 ERA over 107 innings with good peripherals. Duran reached AA in 2019 as he simply refused to stop striking people out (2...9361Fri, 22 May 2020 01:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/five-best-signatures-in-twins-history-r9362/I don’t think it’s burying the lede here to note that Harmon Killebrew’s signature is going to be number one on this list. He’s got some of the greatest penmanship we’ve seen in any era, and it was a craft he took great pride in. You’ll often hear stories from more recent players where they’ll qu...9362Fri, 22 May 2020 01:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-show-must-go-on-inauspicious-debuts-r9364/To get caught up on what we're doing here, you can check out the introductory post in the series for an explanation of the premise and setup.

This line will become even more blurred during the 2020 campaign as each game will have increased importance. Managers will likely turn to their bullpens earlier, espec...9347Thu, 21 May 2020 02:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/can-jos%C3%A9-berr%C3%ADos-hold-up-without-a-changed-delivery-r9357/Watch José Berríos pitch, and the first thing that grabs you is his delivery. As good as Berríos’s stuff is, his high leg kick, crossfire stride pattern, and hyperkinetic finish make him especially compelling. All of that is also what makes Berríos’s future murky. Over the last three seasons, Berr...9357Thu, 21 May 2020 01:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/ranking-the-alnl-central-teams-5-1-r9354/5.
