Pitching prospects are notoriously volatile and the attrition rate is high but it doesn't hurt to stockpile as many as you can. I mean, even Alcala was immediately placed on the DL with a tricep strain. Still,...7082Fri, 03 Aug 2018 16:19:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/jack-morris-wrapped-up-a-hall-of-fame-career-with-the-saints-r7079/Morris got the start in a Saints preseason game. Morris got his work in, but the results were not pretty. The split finger fastball that Morris was renowned for was bouncing in front of the plate and after five runs in his inning of work, the night was over for Morris. The first regular season sta...7079Fri, 03 Aug 2018 02:44:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/departures-don%E2%80%99t-change-twins-future-r7077/There’s been plenty of hand-wringing over the decisions made by the front office over the past week. The reality is that each one of them were both the right and correct move. Flipping veterans set to become free agents for tangible assets usable down the line is a logical concept.

You may have noticed - or maybe not - that my writing and commenting has been much more sporadic this season. There are plenty of reasons for that... mostly growing kids and more responsibilities at work. But my interest in the Twins and...7078Thu, 02 Aug 2018 20:41:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/minnesota-twins-2018-trade-deadline-report-card-r7074/All right, first thing’s first, here’s where all the players the Twins acquired are headed: Minnesota: Logan Forsythe Rochester: Chase De Jong, Tyler Austin.

An undersized middle infielder (listed at 5”11” and 185 his senior year by his Southern Miss bio) drafted in the eighth round, Dozier could have succumbed to what had been standard practice in the Twins’ organization – converting their middle men into sl...7072Wed, 01 Aug 2018 19:15:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-daily-roundtable-hall-of-fame-impact-r7071/John Bonnes I've followed the Twins since 1972, and in my mind, there is no doubt that Kirby Puckett has had the biggest impact. It wasn't just the World Series championships or the postseason heroics. Indeed that was just a small fraction of what he brought, as was his performance on the field.
