The reality is that relief pitchers either need to be incredibly good with their breaking pitches, or they need the ability to shove into the upper 90’s and blow the ball by hitters. Save for Ryan Pressly, Minnesota doesn’t have much in...6195Fri, 03 Nov 2017 02:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/busting-3-myths-about-the-twins-offseason-r6197/On the surface, these suppositions may feel plausible, if not resoundingly true. But each of these three Twins offseason myths is driven by faulty reasoning, and here's why. MYTH #1: The Twins won't significantly increase payroll. It's understandable that this is the default position. The Twins f...6197Fri, 03 Nov 2017 00:21:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/seth39s-2018-minnesota-twins-offseason-blueprint-r6196/With that, let’s get to my blueprint. Again, this is just a fun exercise to make us all think about what we might want the Twins to do. In reality, making actual moves is much more difficult than us typing out our thoughts. I mean, we can just type it. The Twins will have to actually outbid other...6196Fri, 03 Nov 2017 00:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/2018-twins-daily-offseason-handbook-is-released-r6191/An analysis of the Twins payroll and how much they are likely to spend on free agents.

Myers in March for spring training, May was one of the best performers on the mound I had a chance to watch. I wasn't alone in my sentiment. There was significant buzz around the big right-hander, who had worked hard in the lead-up to camp after getting the go-ahead to prepare as...6192Wed, 01 Nov 2017 03:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/handbook-preview-trade-jorge-or-nay-r6189/If you even visit this site occasionally, you're going to love the Offseason Handbook.

In 2017 they rocketed up to 12th. That's a remarkable jump. Sure, the pitching staff played a role in shaving off 11% of the runs allowed from 2016, but not a very big role. As mentioned above, the K, BB, and HR ra...6185Mon, 30 Oct 2017 01:55:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-amp-the-geek-ep-341-on-pitching-coaches-amp-perkins-r6183/http://traffic.libsyn.com/gleemangeek/Episode_341.mp36183Sun, 29 Oct 2017 23:37:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/handbook-preview-rebuilding-buxton39s-swing-r6184/1.

Given that both Lynn and Chatwood seem to be a bit better fit on the surface, the following trio would be nice complementary pieces to one of the top two options.
