Happy 57th Birthday, Dana Kiecker


It&#x2019;s the birthday of 1979 Fairfax High School and 1983 St. Cloud State graduate Dana Kiecker, born in Sleepy Eye in 1961.
Kiecker was chosen by the Red Sox in the eighth round of the 1983 Draft. He made his major league debut on April 12, 1990 at ag...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">6432</guid><pubDate>Sun, 25 Feb 2018 16:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Spring Training Update: Waiting For The Big Story</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/spring-training-update-waiting-for-the-big-story-r6435/</link><description>It&#x2019;s that last criteria that is the only question. In theory, moving Eduardo Escobar to full time duty at third base opens up a utility infielder spot that Aybar could fill and it sounds like that&#x2019;s his focus. &#x201C;I&#x2019;ll be here for everything. Play second, third, short, outfield, whatever,&#x201D; said Aybar...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">6435</guid><pubDate>Sun, 25 Feb 2018 04:09:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Arms Race: Will the Twins Front Office Regret Losing High-Impact Arms?</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/arms-race-will-the-twins-front-office-regret-losing-high-impact-arms-r6434/</link><description>The Falvey and Levine regime, let&#x2019;s call them The Falvgime, deserves credit for the rapidity of their organizational overhaul. After a year of assessment and modest additions in 2017, they have added exciting, progressive coaching voices such as James Rowson and Garvin Alston.

According to a source close to Jon Heyman, he believes that Lance Lynn is a &#x201C;pitcher of interest&#x201D; for the Twins, and that he is favored by the Twins among the top three.

He was an All-Star in 2014. He split 2016 between Atlanta and Detroit, and he played in 108 games for the Padres in 2017.

None of them filled the role with any semblance of staying power.

Through the end of July, his ERA was almost 4.50 and batters were getting on base over 30% of the time against him. By season&#x2019;s end, his FIP was 5.43 and his walk rate jumped from 7.0 percent to 10.1 percent.
