Barring any further injuries, this is the group that I’d suggest go to war with Rocco Baldelli.

His most recent prognosis is that he will miss the rest of the season with shoulder surgery and there’s no guarantee that he will be ready for the start of...8455Tue, 24 Sep 2019 23:43:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/series-preview-dining-in-the-doldrums-r8449/Brief Overview: The Tigers have managed to win just 46 games despite playing 155 thus far. A winning percentage below 30% in baseball is laughable at best, and this team is worse than both assumed bottom-feeders in Baltimore and Miami. Ron Gardenhire has had little to work with, and has gotten les...8449Tue, 24 Sep 2019 14:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-amp-the-geek-ep-445-playoff-pitching-r8453/http://traffic.libsyn.com/gleemangeek/Ep_445.mp3?dest-id=745908453Tue, 24 Sep 2019 02:47:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/who-has-more-long-term-value-miguel-sano-or-byron-buxton-r8451/Last week’s discussion over the future value of Luis Arraez garnered plenty of discussion so it made sense to look at two cornerstone pieces of Minnesota’s roster. Here are the arguments for Buxton and Sano. Argument for Buxton When Buxton is healthy and, on the field, there is no doubt that he is...8451Tue, 24 Sep 2019 02:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twelve39s-a-crowd-handicapping-the-playoff-pitching-staff-r8452/In projecting the playoff bullpen, we need to set a few parameters. We'll presume that the Twins carry 12 pitchers, which is generally the most you'll see given the reduced need for starting depth. Even the Brewers, who last year bullpened their way through the playoffs, carried only 12 pitchers....8452Tue, 24 Sep 2019 00:25:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/week-in-review-closing-in-r8448/Weekly Snapshot: Mon, 9/16 through Sun, 9/22 *** Record Last Week: 5-2 (Overall: 96-60) Run Differential Last Week: +2 (Overall: +167) Standing: 1st Place in AL Central (4.0 GA) Magic Number: 3 The Twins got Marwin Gonzalez back last week.
