Not a bad idea for a team with a slow-footed fourth outfielder, an aging first baseman who benefits from res...6459Fri, 02 Mar 2018 03:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/report-from-the-fort-jake-odorizzi-is-better-than-you-think-r6455/“Below average,” replies Odorizzi. “I built a rapport of being better than that. I guess it comes with the territory. I guess when you decline a little bit, people just automatically say it’s a horrible year.” It was a decline from the 3.69 ERA the year before, which was a decline from the 3.35 ER...6455Fri, 02 Mar 2018 03:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/an-offense-poised-to-do-damage-r6456/A year ago, the Twins had back-to-back 200 home run seasons for the first time since Harmon Killebrew was on the roster (1964). Minnesota base runners touched home plate 815 times, which was good enough for seventh in all of Major League Baseball (4th in the American League). Though the 206 longba...6456Fri, 02 Mar 2018 02:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/nightly-wrap-jake-odorizzi-next-offseason-amp-jorge-polanco-r6458/To add this podcast to your iPhone podcast app, do the following: 1.

Few hitters are. His emergence helped the Twins finish out the season on a 35-24 run. That would be a 96-win pace over the course of a full season. A good Polanco makes this Twins lineup terrifying. Polanco can...6454Thu, 01 Mar 2018 18:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/what39s-next-for-kennys-vargas-r6453/First, we have to note that the Twins do not have to make this decision right now. Because they had DFAd JT Chargois late last week, the Twins 40-man roster was down to 39. So with the addition of Morrison, the Twins roster is back up to 40. Second, we have to acknowledge that Kennys Vargas and Ro...6453Thu, 01 Mar 2018 04:31:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-daily-nightly-wrap-pieces-are-in-place-r6452/http://traffic.libsyn.com/twinsdaily/20180228-212050.mp36452Thu, 01 Mar 2018 03:16:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/report-from-the-fort-logan-morrison-is-staying-quiet-for-once-r6451/“There’s a lot of things, you know? I think having a daughter helped keep things in perspective,” says Morrison. “Being able to press the reset button. I remember early in my career taking 0-fers home. And then you take them home and they tend to kind of stay with you when you go to the field the...6451Wed, 28 Feb 2018 21:02:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/that%E2%80%99s-offensive-did-morrison%E2%80%99s-signing-fix-minnesota%E2%80%99s-biggest-flaw-r6450/Infield Veterans Joe Mauer and Brian Dozier have plenty to prove as they both are set to hit free agency at season’s end. Dozier is coming off some of the best seasons of his career and he seems to be hitting free agency at a good point in his career. Mauer has admitted this spring that he would l...6450Wed, 28 Feb 2018 14:06:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-daily-nightly-wrap-227-r6449/Download audio.6449Wed, 28 Feb 2018 02:48:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/brian-dozier-i39ll-be-a-free-agent-r6448/It is not clear if there have been any discussions between the Twins and Dozier this offseason. Dozier didn’t want to go into the details, and also wanted to emphasize it is not a distraction. “I don’t want to elaborate too much on this, but I will say: my focus really is just on this year.
