Each player who accrued at least 50 plate appearances, and remains in the organization currently, gets a write-up below.

The power-hitting outfielder was taken 24th overall in the first round of the 1990 amateur draft by the Montreal Expos, a pick from the Angels as compensation for free agent Mark Langston. Out of the first round picks that year, White has the...5267Tue, 27 Dec 2016 01:50:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/cardinals-quotvery-much-inquot-on-brian-dozier-r5266/While it's no surprise that the Dodgers are still in it heavily, the Cardinals being 'very in it" is new information. So immediately the thoughts jump to... Who do the Cardinals have that might entice the Twins? A quick look at the Baseball America Top 100 Midseason Prospects list provides some in...5266Mon, 26 Dec 2016 21:01:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/state-of-the-central-r5264/Things have been interesting this offseason in the American League Central. Let’s check out where the four teams are and what more they might want to do. Might as well start with the defending AL Central and American League champions. CLEVELAND Signing Edwin Encarnacion is a big deal. Mike Napoli...5264Fri, 23 Dec 2016 03:48:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-waiting-is-the-hardest-part-r5263/It's not very common for trades to happen this time of year, as it seems like front offices take it a little easy during the holidays. Last season, the Reds traded Aroldis Chapman to the Yankees on Dec. 28 but there wasn't another trade for almost two weeks after. Typically if a trade is going to...5263Fri, 23 Dec 2016 02:20:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/projecting-the-2020-twins-line-up-r5261/C: Mitch Garver The Twins recently signed Jason Castro to a three-year deal that runs through the 2019 season. Garver will be given every opportunity to evolve into a starter during the duration of the Castro contract. He ended this season at Rochester and hit .329/.381/.434 with six extra-base hi...5261Thu, 22 Dec 2016 13:22:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/all-about-jose-de-leon-r5259/Back in early October, while the Los Angeles was still mounting its postseason push, I noted via tweet that a Dozier-for-De Leon swap "makes too much sense." In the Offseason Handbook (still available for free download!), the Dodgers were the first team we listed as a fit for Dozier, and our Offse...5259Wed, 21 Dec 2016 03:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-all-time-worst-twins-butch-huskey-r5254/Before the start of the 2000 season, the Twins were looking to add a player with DH experience. They threw half a million dollars at Huskey and gave him the role. The 28-year old had spent multiple seasons with the Mets before coming to the AL to play with Seattle and Boston. The Twins had a young...5254Tue, 20 Dec 2016 03:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-amp-the-geek-ep-289-dozier-santana-amp-twins-top-pick-r5253/http://traffic.libsyn.com/gleemangeek/Episode_289_More_Dozier_And_Top_Pick_Talk.mp35253Mon, 19 Dec 2016 04:52:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-brightening-future-of-the-twins-rotation-r5252/Presently, there are – by my estimation – four young pitchers in the Twins organization who figure to shape the success of the major-league rotation over the next five years. Each is either 21 or 22 years old, and potentially within a year of reaching the bigs. Let's take a look at each of them,...5252Mon, 19 Dec 2016 04:12:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-roster-projection-2017-version-10-r5250/It was a fun exercise putting together this first draft, even if there aren’t as many changes as we would think. But it is a starting point. As you read this, consider where the Twins should focus their attention the rest of the season. For this, I am going to go with a 13-hitter, 12-pitcher roste...5250Thu, 15 Dec 2016 09:10:00 +0000
