His approach was a little different as he was looking at every player in the organization. Baseball Prospectus just released their list of Top 25-and-under players but their cutoff was 4/1/1992.

It might make sense for some young players before they reach arbitration or more veteran players like Dozier and Joe Mauer who will hit free agency at the end...6365Tue, 30 Jan 2018 02:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-amp-the-geek-ep-353-waiting-on-yu-r6361/http://traffic.libsyn.com/gleemangeek/180128_final.mp36361Mon, 29 Jan 2018 02:18:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-twins-almanac-for-jan-28%E2%80%93feb-3-r6360/January 28 Happy 55th Birthday, Gary Mielke It’s the birthday of former Rangers reliever Gary Mielke, born in St. James, MN in 1963.

After bursting onto the scene in 2015, regression and development plagued many of the Twins futur...6358Fri, 26 Jan 2018 02:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-minnesota-twins-said-no-to-jim-thome-r6357/Earlier that spring, 18-year-old James Howard Thome, all of six-foot-four and fungo thin, was manning shortstop at Illinois Central College.
