Stephen Gonsalves, LHP (24) 2018 Ranking: 10 In some ways, Gonsalves took a big step forward in 2018. He pitched brilliantly over 100 innings at Triple-A, solidifying his supremacy over minor-league hitters. He then received his first promotion to the big leagues, making seven appearances for...7420Mon, 31 Dec 2018 00:49:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/what-you-need-to-know-about-nelson-cruz-r7419/Cruz’s ability to put the sweetest spot of the bat on the ripest part of the ball over the last several seasons has been near baby-making quality. According to StatCast, over the last four seasons he has ranked 8th-4th-8th-and-11th in Barrels per Plate Appearance.

It's only a one-year guarantee My main hold-up with the idea of signing Cruz was that he's a DH-only player who resides at the bottom end of the defensiv...7417Fri, 28 Dec 2018 02:21:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/romero-ready-to-ink-the-pen-r7415/Fernando Romero has been placed near the top of Minnesota Twins prospect lists for the better part of the past few years now.

Nick Gordon, SS (23) 2018 Ranking: 13 A year ago, Gordon was already plagued by questions surrounding his viability at shortstop, as well as the legitimacy of his bat coming off a lackluster second half in Chattanooga. These doubts were only magnified during a rough 2018 campaign that saw him...7412Thu, 27 Dec 2018 02:35:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-amp-the-geek-ep-404-waiting-for-the-boom-r7411/http://traffic.libsyn.com/gleemangeek/Episode_404_FINAL.mp3?dest-id=74590 Sponsored by Robinhood.7411Mon, 24 Dec 2018 16:05:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/kicking-the-tires-on-kikuchi-r7410/Back in 2009, Kikuchi was a prep phenom for Hanamaki Higashi HS, touching the mid-90s with his fastball as a teenager. As he nearly became the first Japanese player ever to bypass the NPB draft and enter MLB directly out of high school, one of the teams courting him was the Texas Rangers, reported...7410Sun, 23 Dec 2018 19:41:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/buxton%E2%80%99s-best-lined-up-for-now-r7409/Recently Seth Stohs of Twins Daily reported that the Minnesota Twins new skipper went down to Georgia and met with the heralded centerfielder.
