That would be Paul Molitor, who wrote the 23-year-old in at the position for 45 of 60 starts with Minnesota, including 39 straight to end the season. Prior to that, Polanco had...5312Mon, 23 Jan 2017 03:23:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-amp-the-geek-ep-293-the-hitters-r5311/http://traffic.libsyn.com/gleemangeek/Episode_293.mp35311Mon, 23 Jan 2017 01:24:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-all-time-worst-twins-matt-walbeck-r5308/Walbeck was drafted into the Chicago Cubs organization in 1987 as an eighth round pick. The California native joined the professional baseball ranks straight out of high school. For his first season in the minor leagues, he was only 17-years old and he did well in the rookie leagues.

Both Eduardo Nunez and Shane Robinson spent nearly the entire season on the 25-man roster, yet neither started 50 games. And between them, and your ever-present backup catcher (either Chris Herrmann or Eric Fryer that season), Paul Molitor had insu...5309Fri, 20 Jan 2017 02:15:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/don39t-sleep-on-phil-hughes-r5303/One free agent I was very curious to follow this offseason was Tyson Ross, because of his intriguing parallels with Hughes. They are almost the same age (Ross 29, Hughes 30). In 2014, both were at the top of their games, ranking among the best starting pitchers in their respective leagues. Ross co...5303Wed, 18 Jan 2017 03:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/forecasting-mauer39s-remaining-years-r5301/Mauer will turn 34-years old during the first month of the coming season. He's slowly moving out of his prime and many Twins fans might argue that he's already past his prime. There are still two years remaining with Mauer in a Minnesota jersey and there have been glimmers of hope when it comes to...5301Tue, 17 Jan 2017 03:19:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/how-does-keeping-dozier-fit-with-long-term-view-r5300/In their early days on the job, the new CBO and GM were clear about their intentions to build a foundation for sustainable success, acknowledging that it might be a gradual process. Falvey laid out his vision for a "data-driven" collaboration. Levine spoke of making "thoughtful decisions that are...5300Mon, 16 Jan 2017 02:07:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-amp-the-geek-ep-192-miscellaneous-moves-amp-meltdown-r5299/http://traffic.libsyn.com/gleemangeek/Ep_292_Miscellaneous_Moves__Meltdown.mp3?dest-id=745905299Sun, 15 Jan 2017 19:50:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/ready-or-not-twins-have-turned-to-prospects-r5296/In the middle of the offseason that painting appears fairly clear. Some things may be able to be altered here or there, but there's also a lot of paint that has already dried. Then the games start. Soon enough, the masterpiece starts to look more like a toddler's finger painting. One element of th...5296Fri, 13 Jan 2017 01:29:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/impasse-r5297/Earlier this week, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reported that the two sides had reached an impasse in their negotiations with "no momentum toward deal." That's an ominous sign at this late stage of the offseason and Rosenthal later wrote that the Dodgers were "back to square one in their search for...5297Fri, 13 Jan 2017 01:27:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/four-twins-arbitration-decisions-looming-again-r5295/With that in mind, let's try to project (OK, guess) what will happen over the next two days.

Last winter, reports had Bautista seeking a contract extension of over five years and $150 million. The 36-year old made multiple DL stints this year as he battled toe and knee issues. He played in 116 games...5294Thu, 12 Jan 2017 03:30:00 +0000
