That being said, I think he will utilize this strategy throughout the 2019 season.

All singles. That's a .098 batting average and a .098 slugging percentage. While it was a small sample, and more than offset by the...7434Tue, 08 Jan 2019 03:13:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/report-twins-finalizing-deal-with-blake-parker-r7433/UPDATE: Jeff Passan of ESPN confirmed the Twins are indeed finalizing a deal with Parker. His sources say it's a one-year deal worth slightly more than $3 million. Here's what I wrote about Parker in the non-tender tracker we ran here at Twins Daily on Nov. 30: Blake Parker will be non-tendered b...7433Mon, 07 Jan 2019 19:01:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/how-the-twins-reshaped-their-identity-in-a-half-decade-r7431/The worst thing that happened to the Twins in 2013 was Joe Mauer's concussion. No question. That drastically altered the franchise's course, and couldn't have been avoided. But more broadly, there were a lot of things to hate about that season. The five pitchers to receive the most starts for Min...7431Mon, 07 Jan 2019 02:08:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/episode-406-bubble-butts-and-sound-effects-r7430/7430Mon, 07 Jan 2019 01:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/2018-twins-daily-top-30-most-viewed-articles-part-3-1-10-r7429/As you would expect in a season that was disappointing and July gave us four trades, those would be some pretty important and discussed articles on the site, so let’s jump into it. 10.

Brusdar Graterol, RHP (20) 2018 Ranking: N/A By the time Graterol turned 20, on August 26th, he had already logged 50 innings in the Advanced-A Florida State League, striking out 46 and allowing zero home runs. As one of the youngest players to throw a pitch in the FSL, the hard-throwing righty...7428Fri, 04 Jan 2019 01:57:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-need-to-cruz-above-the-line-r7427/In coming up with his 3.0 fWAR total, Steamer has Cruz slated for a .282/.361/.533 slash line with 36 homers and 104 RBI. For a guy who’s played a grand total of nine games in the field since 2016, it’s his bat that will solely carry the production. The numbers projected for Cruz are right on par...7427Fri, 04 Jan 2019 00:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/2018-twins-daily-top-30-most-viewed-articles-part-2-11-20-r7425/Today’s installment begins with an article on a player that the Twins, and probably 90% of the teams in baseball, would love to have on their team.

He crashed his plane into the Gulf of Mexico in November 2017. Halladay might be the last pitcher of a former era. He compiled 67 complete games in his career and he needed fewer than 100 pitches...7426Thu, 03 Jan 2019 03:12:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-top-20-minnesota-twins-assets-of-2019-part-3-6-10-r7424/10. Taylor Rogers, LHP (28) 2018 Ranking: 15 In 2017, it looked like Rogers might be starting to emerge as one of the better relief pitchers in all of baseball. In 2018, he hammered that distinction home. While logging career highs in innings (68.1) and appearances (72), the southpaw posted number...7424Wed, 02 Jan 2019 02:06:00 +0000
