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. Tuesday was Byron’s 25th birthday, and after being in Minnesota recently for a charity event, Buxton was in his own element this time. The meeting included...7409Fri, 21 Dec 2018 00:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-twins-should-extend-odorizzi-not-gibson-r7408/This is not a dismissal of Gibson. Far from it. I'm a believer in his emergence. Finally healthy and harnessing the full potential of his arsenal, he alternated between solid and filthy. His fastball clocked in at a career-high 93 MPH. Both his slider and curveball were among the league's toughest...7408Wed, 19 Dec 2018 03:46:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-to-retire-mauer39s-no-7-who39s-next-r7406/Current Players After last season, it might be hard to put any player on a path to having his number retired. Jose Berrios had a strong season. In his age-24 season, he was named an All-Star and was tied for the league lead in complete games (2) and shutouts (1). Berrios also pitched over 190 big...7406Wed, 19 Dec 2018 01:54:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/rundown-twins-pursuit-of-pitching-r7404/Clay Buchholz had a nice 2.01 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 3.68 K:BB ratio for the Diamondbacks last year. That's pretty awesome, right? This issue is he pitched just 98 1/3 innings in 2018. In fact, Buchholz only logged 7 1/3 innings the prior year, 139 1/3 in 2016 and 113 1/3 in 2015.
