Is that a certainty? No, injuries are always a possibility, but that&#x2019;s not what we&#x2019;re discussing today. It appears the fourth...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">7500</guid><pubDate>Sun, 03 Feb 2019 15:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Minnesota's Super Bowls and World Series</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/minnesota39s-super-bowls-and-world-series-r7494/</link><description>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 &#x2013; Paul Giel on the squad. At bat all the sluggers were there &#x2013; Lemon, Killebrew, Allison, Battey, Versalles, and the spark plug, Billy...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">7494</guid><pubDate>Sun, 03 Feb 2019 14:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>2019 Super (Bowl) Predictions</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/2019-super-bowl-predictions-r7493/</link><description>Let&#x2019;s get right to it. Here are the Super Bowl predictions, in the order they were received. I will continue to update this document right up until Game Time as I will receive more predictions to that point.

In both 2016 and 2017, Perez put up consecutive 2.1 fWAR seasons after combining for a 4.60 ERA across 383 2/3 innings. While these numbers don&#x2019;t exactly jump off the map, anytime you can get...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">7490</guid><pubDate>Fri, 01 Feb 2019 00:57:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Fernando Romero and Designing A Slider From Hell</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/fernando-romero-and-designing-a-slider-from-hell-r7491/</link><description>The Twins acknowledged that Romero is currently a two-pitch pitcher. Technically, he has three types of fastballs (but two movement patterns), a promising slider, and a developing change-up but, functionally, he has a fastball and a slider. Because of this, the front office believes he is better...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">7491</guid><pubDate>Fri, 01 Feb 2019 00:54:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>A Big Breakout for Minnesota&#x2019;s Big Three</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/a-big-breakout-for-minnesota%E2%80%99s-big-three-r7489/</link><description>There&#x2019;s no denying that baseball isn&#x2019;t an individual or star driven sport. Every single team in the league should be jumping at an opportunity to ink either Bryce Harper or Manny Machado. Alone, no player is pushing any team to the postseason, and a World Series is a by-product of a 25-man roster...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">7489</guid><pubDate>Fri, 01 Feb 2019 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Keys to 2019: Rocco's Modern Managing</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/keys-to-2019-rocco39s-modern-managing-r7488/</link><description>Twins owner Jim Pohlad said Paul Molitor would continue to manage the club when Derek Falvey and Thad Levine took over the Twins front office. Molitor would win the AL Manager of the Year Award in 2017 as the Twins surprisingly qualified for the final Wild Card spot.

One of the most intriguing answers was about the Twins looking to sign their younger pieces to long-term deals.
Here are some of the potential options for long-term contracts.

Ideally, Byron Buxton&#x2019;s leash won&#x2019;t have to be tested this season. Last week, I identified Buxton&#x2019;s emergence as one of the keys to the 2019 club. It&#x2019;s easy to be discouraged after his 2018 season. Buxton rebuilt his body this off-seas...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">7482</guid><pubDate>Tue, 29 Jan 2019 03:30:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Overheard at TwinsFest: Stewart's Plan, Baldelli's Preparation, Prospects and More</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/overheard-at-twinsfest-stewart39s-plan-baldelli39s-preparation-prospects-and-more-r7483/</link><description>Kohl Stewart on the 2019 offseason:
