Chicago – The Windy City is a weird place. Just cruise by the art and it doesn’t take long to come to that conclusion. Chicagoans are basically down to earth people but when they make a concentrated effort to be snobby… they choose to be snobby about… of all things… Hot Dogs. They like their sa...5486Fri, 07 Apr 2017 13:19:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-walk-their-way-to-3-0-r5485/Twins hitters tallied 23 walks in the opening series against the Royals, while the pitching staff issued just nine free passes. To put that into perspective, last season the Twins didn't draw their 23rd walk until the eighth game of the season. Not surprisingly, all those walks did in the Royals,...5485Fri, 07 Apr 2017 01:28:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/a-quick-look-around-r5483/Before I look ahead two years, though, I looked back at the Opening Day lineup from 2015, you know, the year the Twins won 83 and narrowly missed the playoffs. Beyond the top three (Danny Santana, SS; Joe Mauer, 1B and Brian Dozier, 2B), none of the other six remain with the Twins. (Kennys Vargas...5483Thu, 06 Apr 2017 23:55:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/paul-molitor39s-opening-day-redemption-r5479/Many eyebrows were raised last summer when Minnesota's GM vacancy opened up along with an immediate, non-negotiable stipulation that Molitor would stay on. His team was on its way to an historically awful finish, and given his complete lack of managerial experience prior to 2015, the sophomore ski...5479Wed, 05 Apr 2017 01:29:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/2017-minnesota-twins-awards-preview-r5471/Each of the awards below has been named after someone that optimizes that award for the Twins organization. There are legends from the past and all have had a significant place in Twins lore. Harmon Killebrew MVP: Brian Dozier, 2B Ideally, the Twins hope there is a young core of players that battl...5471Tue, 04 Apr 2017 02:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/just-one-of-162-but-twins-win-felt-big-r5478/While no one will say it, it was clear in spring training that the Twins wanted to get off to a good start in 2017. 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 +0000
