Including the postseason, he appeared in 11 MLB games, posting a 4.22 ERA out of the bullpen. He has electric stuff, and if it wasn&#x2019;t for one bad outing against Cle...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">8591</guid><pubDate>Sun, 03 Nov 2019 04:30:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>A Case for Signing Yasmani Grandal</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/a-case-for-signing-yasmani-grandal-r8583/</link><description>While obtaining starting pitching is priority number one, spending big money on free-agent pitching is easier said than done. Plenty of other teams will be in on the top starters and even though the Twins have built a good team, the prospect of playing and living in Minnesota isn&#x2019;t always that ent...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">8583</guid><pubDate>Sat, 02 Nov 2019 02:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>What Makes Luis Arraez so Good and How Can He Repeat His Excellence in 2020?</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/what-makes-luis-arraez-so-good-and-how-can-he-repeat-his-excellence-in-2020-r8589/</link><description>Luis Arraez was one of many breakouts for the Twins in 2019. Arraez ranked as the No.15 prospect in the Twins system on MLB Pipeline before the season. There was no doubt Arraez could hit, but his questionable athleticism and lack of power hampered his upside as a prospect. These stats say it all...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">8589</guid><pubDate>Sat, 02 Nov 2019 01:30:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>The Trend-Setting Twins</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-trend-setting-twins-r8590/</link><description>According to D1 Baseball's Kendall Rogers, the Yankees have made "college pitching coaches a high priority" for the position. Rogers says that the Yankees have interviewed Michigan's Chris Fetter and Johnson's replacement at Arkansas, Matt Hobbes. The Yankees also inquired about Arizona's Nate Yes...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">8590</guid><pubDate>Fri, 01 Nov 2019 19:04:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>4 Under-the-Radar Relievers Who Could Help in 2020</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/4-under-the-radar-relievers-who-could-help-in-2020-r8585/</link><description>Here are a few relievers who will be available on the market who would make great additions to the Twins&#x2019; bullpen:
Drew Pomeranz
The Giants moved Pomeranz to the bullpen after an ineffective stint as a starter in the first half of 2019 and he became death, destroyer of worlds because of it. After...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">8585</guid><pubDate>Fri, 01 Nov 2019 13:45:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Assessing Eddie Rosario's Trade Market</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/assessing-eddie-rosario39s-trade-market-r8588/</link><description>Yesterday Cooper Carlson published a good piece on Rosario's downward trend, which basically makes the case for a trade on Minnesota's end. But to sum it all up, here's why the Twins likely view Rosario as an expendable piece:
Top prospects Alex Kirilloff, Trevor Larnach and Brent Rooker have all...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">8588</guid><pubDate>Fri, 01 Nov 2019 02:21:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Maybe the Twins Should Go All in On Anthony Rendon</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/maybe-the-twins-should-go-all-in-on-anthony-rendon-r8584/</link><description>Obviously, this all hinges on how the organization views the immediate future of Miguel Sano. He&#x2019;s the current starter at the hot corner and is coming off a .923 OPS during his age-26 season. The Dominican native is under team control for each of the next two seasons, and the expectation would be...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">8584</guid><pubDate>Fri, 01 Nov 2019 02:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>How the Washington Nationals Built Their World Series Roster</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/how-the-washington-nationals-built-their-world-series-roster-r8587/</link><description>For the sake of simplicity, we will break down the Nationals roster by position group. One thing you will notice, is the Nationals are willing to explore any and all options in order to add someone that they think will add value to their team.

Don&#x2019;t be fooled by home runs and RBI
Eddie Rosario was the primary cleanup hitter in the 2019 Twins lineup. It didn&#x2019;t seem Rocco Baldelli ever considered changing that, despite Rosario ranking ninth in OPS on the Twins.

Let's take a look at how that unit may impact how the Twins invest in their pitching staff.
