We saw how that went, and he was quickly sent over to second base. Fast forward two more years, and the 28 year-old was a first time All-Star while being arguably the best power-hitting two-bagg...6993Thu, 12 Jul 2018 23:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/hildenberger-back-in-late-inning-role-r6992/To say Trevor Hildenberger was a bit of a late-bloomer might be an understatement. He wasn’t drafted out of high school. He didn’t have a ton of offers from Division I schools to sift through. The first three years that he spent at Cal-Berkeley, he hardly got on the mound. In his fourth year, he p...6992Thu, 12 Jul 2018 05:55:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-minor-league-report-711-elizabethton-stays-hot-while-kernels-stars-pop-r6991/TRANSACTIONS Rochester Red Wings RHP Alan Busenitz recalled by Twins C Cameron Rupp released Fort Myers Miracle RHP Brady Anderson released LHP Kevin Marnon reinstated from the DL and sent to Cedar Rapids Cedar Rapids Kernels LHP Jovani Moran promoted to Fort Myers RED WINGS REPORT The Red Wings w...6991Thu, 12 Jul 2018 03:31:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/min-8-kc-5-twins-recover-from-rough-start-r6989/Snapshot (chart via FanGraphs) Lance Lynn: 36 Game Score, 5.0 IP, 4 R, 3 ER, 6 K, 3 BB, 57.9% strikes Bullpen: 4.0 IP, 1 ER, 6 K, 0 BB Lineup: 3-for-7 w/RISP, 9 LOB WPA of 0.1 or higher: Dozier .399, Pressly .227, Wilson .208, Cave .144 WPA of -0.1 or lower: Lynn -.275, Escobar -.107 Credit to L...6989Wed, 11 Jul 2018 22:14:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-daily-roundtable-second-half-star-r6986/Nick Nelson I would hope to see a few big second halves after so many members of the Twins came up well short of expectations in the first three months. If there's one name that really stands out though, it's Max Kepler.
