That showed in their Opening Day roster configuration. It was an early pitcher's duel, but it was an important game for the Twins to try to find a way to win. And they did. First of...5478Tue, 04 Apr 2017 01:27:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/game-thread-twins-v-royals-43-310pm-ct-r5474/Like the soon to be King Richard, our Twins are introduced to us as deformed, unfinished, sent before their time into this breathing 2017 season. It is supposed to be a time of happiness, a time of peace, because our family troubles have come to an end with the removal of King Ryan but yet, here w...5474Mon, 03 Apr 2017 11:49:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/minnesota-twins-2017-preview-a-new-era-r5473/Understandably, there's a general feeling of dissatisfaction among the fanbase after 103 losses were followed by a relatively quiet offseason on the player acquisition front. A roster that stumbled to the worst finish in the history of Twins baseball is back, largely intact. A rotation that ranked...5473Mon, 03 Apr 2017 02:03:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-front-office-stands-behind-first-25-man-roster-r5472/“I think when you look at a team and when you are building toward what we talk about all along -- a championship caliber team -- you need to build around a young core of players,” Twins Chief Baseball Officer Derek Falvey said in the drizzling rain during Sunday’s workout at Target Field. “I think...5472Mon, 03 Apr 2017 00:29:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/2017-twins-player-predictions-the-designated-hitters-r5470/How will the playing time be allocated among these three players throughout the season? What will Park need to do in Rochester to get himself back on the 40-man roster? This is the most difficult prediction since there are three players. They all can and will play other positions at times too. I’...5470Sun, 02 Apr 2017 12:12:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/2017-twins-player-predictions-max-kepler-r5469/As we embark on the 2017 season, Kepler was handed the right field job. He will hit somewhere in the middle of the lineup. He’ll continue to face growing pains, but he’s a fast learner, and he will make adjustments. So what do you hope or expect to see from Max Kepler in 2017? After 17 homers as...5469Sat, 01 Apr 2017 02:58:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/2017-twins-player-predictions-byron-buxton-r5468/It was assumed coming into spring training that Buxton would hit either first or ninth in the lineup. But his continues solid showing and confidence in spring training caused manager Paul Molitor to consider putting him in the #3 spot in the lineup. Buxton routinely turns regular singles into doub...5468Fri, 31 Mar 2017 03:23:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/analyzing-minnesota39s-early-season-schedule-r5466/Kansas City Royals Home Series: 4/3, 4/5-4/6: Road Series: 4/28-4/30 The Twins struggled against the Royals last season with a combined 4-15 record.
