Castro is coming off a major injury, but he should be able to go full-steam ahead with spring training starting. Mitch Garver caught al...7505Tue, 05 Feb 2019 03:03:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-daily-2019-top-prospects-10-akil-baddoo-r7503/10.

Credit where credit is due, the inspiration for this comes from an article Brandon Warne wrote at Zone Coverage, where he basically broke down three distinct categories of teams through his lens. Broken down into tiers, he had the Yankees tier – of which we have neve...7502Mon, 04 Feb 2019 01:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/comprehensive-ranking-of-every-twins-jersey-r7495/From what I could gather, the Twins have worn 17 unique jersey combinations where I have grouped together jerseys that shared a lot of the same characteristics. The list of 17 includes all home, road, alternate, and players weekend jerseys I could find. So without further ado… Tier One #1 1961 -...7495Sun, 03 Feb 2019 21:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/by-the-numbers-the-twins%E2%80%99-biggest-missed-opportunity-r7501/The good news, friends, is that your humble author has done the hard work for you. Over the past few weeks I’ve studied the teams that made the 2018 postseason in an effort to better understand to what degree they relied on homegrown talent (i.e. drafted and signed internationally) and external t...7501Sun, 03 Feb 2019 20:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/how-the-twins-are-preparing-for-the-impact-of-injuries-r7499/First of all, in this stats oriented sports era you can find numbers to quantify virtually anything within the game. In 2017, Roster Resource came up with a very interesting metric to show which teams have been hit hardest by injuries, as explained here by Jason Martinez. It’s called Roster Effect...7499Sun, 03 Feb 2019 19:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/show-me-the-money-and-the-wins-r7498/Given that we’re Twins fans here, payroll has never been a topic of discussion. No one has ever been annoyed at the lack of big spending in free agency and is always perfectly OK with how the front office allocates their resources, especially this year. Free agency is supposed to be an opportunit...7498Sun, 03 Feb 2019 18:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/card-no-329-r7497/It was 1986 and, I, the nine-year-old boy, didn’t know much about his home team Minnesota Twins. I was vaguely aware of the neighboring rivals, the Milwaukee Brewers, but had not formed any particular allegiance to them. I did love the game of baseball; I had been playing the sport since I was old...7497Sun, 03 Feb 2019 17:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twinsfest-2019-joe-mauer-white-glove-tour-r7496/Clyde decided to have Joe unpack the bag and take the group through what each item was and talk about his career. We didn't know this when we bid on the tour and I suspect had folks known, it would have gone higher. This flickr album has all the photos with detailed descriptions.

Is that a certainty? No, injuries are always a possibility, but that’s not what we’re discussing today. It appears the fourth...7500Sun, 03 Feb 2019 15:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/minnesota39s-super-bowls-and-world-series-r7494/There was something special about that team. Camilo Pascual on the mound with Pedro Ramos, Kralick, and Kaat made a good rotation and we even had the token Gopher – Paul Giel on the squad. At bat all the sluggers were there – Lemon, Killebrew, Allison, Battey, Versalles, and the spark plug, Billy...7494Sun, 03 Feb 2019 14:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/2019-super-bowl-predictions-r7493/Let’s get right to it.
