Today’s philosophy is more about getting lift trying not to hit it on the ground. Either way, if you hit the ball hard, you give yourself a better chance of being productive. Even if it is at a fielder, it is m...5539Fri, 28 Apr 2017 05:38:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gushing-over-the-glovework-of-polanco-and-sano-r5538/It’s not like either Polanco or Sano magically got better over the offseason. Both guys put in a lot of hard work. It’s clear Polanco put a ton of time on his footwork; getting his body set up in an advantageous position to make a good throw. Sano is in phenomenal shape. He looks much trimmer than...5538Fri, 28 Apr 2017 03:45:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/extend-miggy-r5536/Pre-arbitration extensions have been pretty popular around the league. There have been eight such deals in baseball since the end of the winter meetings. Though the Twins, who have a whole nucleus of players that fit in that pre-arb category, were not one of those teams. That should change with Sa...5536Thu, 27 Apr 2017 00:19:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-amp-the-geek-ep-307-tuesday-taproom-tour-northgate-r5535/http://traffic.libsyn.com/gleemangeek/Ep_307_Tuesday_Taproom_Tour_at_Northgate.mp3?dest-id=745905535Wed, 26 Apr 2017 19:18:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/phil-hughes-changing-up-to-stay-ahead-r5533/In the eyes of some, Hughes' start in Detroit on May 17th of last year was deserving of criticism – the sign of a player who wasn't invested in a team that had already gone off the rails. As you might recall, the righty had gotten through 6 1/3 innings with one run allowed before reportedly pullin...5533Wed, 26 Apr 2017 02:46:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/impromptu-draft-update-r5532/HUNTER GREENE Let's talk about everyone's favorite prospect first.

I thought it would be interesting to see if their teams have done anything about those players. Have they been demoted? Will they be demoted?

The Twins blundered a little with his development last season as he didn't play a single inning at shortstop in the minors. Twins manager Paul Molitor was asked about how the organizatio...5529Tue, 25 Apr 2017 02:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/game-thread-twinsrangers-42417-705pm-r5527/1. Dallas – I was in Dallas for a convention in September. The convention was just a few blocks from Dealey Plaza so I asked the hotel shuttle guy if he could drive me through it. I was immediately struck how the Texas Book Depository building seemed to dominate the street.
