In 2016, he repeated as the Twins Daily Relief Pitcher of the Year. During each of those seasons, he gathered several Twins Daily Minor League Relief Pitcher of the Month awards too. But our guess...6151Tue, 10 Oct 2017 03:01:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/it39s-official-twinsmolitor-agree-to-three-year-deal-r6150/Molitor's three-year contract extension will give him the opportunity to be the team's manager through the 2020 season. In the coming weeks, we will find out if Molitor will be named the 2017 American League Manager of the Year. His competition would appear to be Cleveland manager Terry Francona a...6150Mon, 09 Oct 2017 20:04:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-daily-awards-2017-most-improved-r6148/Byron Buxton's massive strides forward were reflective of what we saw from this team as a whole in 2017: young, raw talent finally figuring it out and pulling things together. A quick glance at his offensive numbers may not point to huge improvement – his OPS rose by only 14 points from 2016 to 20...6148Mon, 09 Oct 2017 02:42:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-amp-the-geek-ep-337-what39s-up-with-molitor-r6147/http://traffic.libsyn.com/gleemangeek/Episode_337_Whats_up_with_Molitor.mp3?dest-id=745906147Mon, 09 Oct 2017 02:23:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/preseason-predictions-versus-2017-actual-stats-r6146/For each player below, I will provide the link to their prediction article as well as the statistical predictions. Below that, I will share that player’s actual 2017 statistics and some notes on the player’s season. Again, last year when I did this, I pretty much looked like an idiot. I was overly...6146Fri, 06 Oct 2017 05:46:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/decision-on-paul-molitor-looming-r6145/In the very near future, the Twins organization will make a decision on Paul Molitor. They will either sign him to another multi-year deal, or they will tell him that they are not going to renew his contract and a search will begin. One of the reasons given for letting Doug Mientkiewicz know right...6145Thu, 05 Oct 2017 03:54:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/recapping-the-recaps-looking-back-at-the-top-10-moments-amp-more-r6144/There were obviously some great moments prior to when I started the recaps, probably the most memorable for me was Joe Mauer’s first career walkoff homer to beat the Red Sox in early May. JUNE 6 | Seattle 12, Twins 3: Santiago Still Struggling, Dozier Still Slugging 7 | Seattle 6, Twins 5: Kintzle...6144Thu, 05 Oct 2017 01:15:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-amp-the-geek-ep-337-the-pain-is-real-r6143/6143Wed, 04 Oct 2017 13:08:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/nyy-8-min-4-it%E2%80%99s-over-r6141/Snapshot (chart via Fangraphs) Brian Dozier hit a leadoff homer, Eddie Rosario added a two-run shot and the Twins were up 3-0 in the first inning. Hard to realistically imagine a better start for Twins fans. Luis Severino was bounced from the game after he recorded just one out. Just as euphoria...6141Wed, 04 Oct 2017 05:26:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/why-the-entire-minnesota-twins-season-may-come-down-to-ervin-santana39s-slider-r6140/At 21.6 runs above average, Ervin Santana’s slider has been his best pitch on the season. Only Max Scherzer (30.0) and Jhoulys Chacin (22.4) derived more value out of the pitch on the year. It’s a stellar pitch and quite possibly his best weapon. But here’s why it is going to used more tonight...6140Tue, 03 Oct 2017 15:13:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/al-wild-card-game-thread-twins-yankees-103709pm-ct-r6139/If I had a nickel for every time I heard someone say the Twins will be one and done at Yankee Stadium… I’d have at least 35 cents, and that is mainly because I don’t talk to a lot of people. If I made the effort to talk to as many Twins fans as I possibly could, I’d have enough nickels to start a...6139Tue, 03 Oct 2017 11:28:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-yankees-media-machine-r6138/Wondering how the Yankees roster and lineup will look Tuesday night? Yankees manager Joe Girardi isn’t saying, but Mike Mazzeo of the New York Daily News predicts it will be similar to what faced Ervin Santana two weeks ago. That means that Aaron Hicks will not be starting in center field. He also...6138Tue, 03 Oct 2017 05:17:00 +0000
