He was not overpowering, but he mostly controlled the at-bats frequently dictating the counts to the batters. He faced a little adversity in the first inning...5442Tue, 21 Mar 2017 22:04:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/report-from-the-fort-from-ks-to-praise-r5441/ByungHo Park ByungHo Park struck out in his first at-bat versus Liriano, though he extended the at-bat seven pitches. It ended on a 93 mph fastball that was called a high-outside corner-catching strike. But the next time Liriano threw a fastball (this one 92 mph and considerably closer to the midd...5441Tue, 21 Mar 2017 03:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/tyler-duffey-shines-in-spotlight-start-r5440/Duffey’s final numbers were not eye-popping, but the right-hander’s stuff has rarely been described as eye-popping, unless that particular eye appreciates a knee-buckling curveball. But this afternoon, Duffey’s fastball placement kept the Blue Jays hitters honest - and guessing. Whether it was a g...5440Tue, 21 Mar 2017 02:46:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/can-zach-granite-follow-brian-dozier39s-footsteps-r5439/As a 24-year old, Dozier split the 2011 season between High-A and Double-A. He hit .320/.399/.491 with 54 extra-base hits in 127 games. He was almost a year and a half older than the competition in the Florida State League so it was tough to fit him into the Twins prospect picture. Because of the...5439Tue, 21 Mar 2017 02:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-roster-projection-2017-version-30-r5438/So here is my third attempt at projecting the Twins Opening Day roster… I encourage you to read my thoughts, develop your own and then post your thoughts and projections in the comments below. THE HITTERS Catchers (2): Jason Castro, Chris Gimenez Jason Castro will be the primary catcher. He will l...5438Mon, 20 Mar 2017 15:10:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/cool-heat-shaggy-is-a-closer-in-waiting-r5437/Back in October, I wrote about the righty's heater, which measured up against some of the game's best in 2016. A glance at what others on that list managed to achieve on the mound is beyond encouraging. Among those who were able to throw that hard while avoiding tons of walks, there was basically...5437Mon, 20 Mar 2017 02:51:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-amp-the-geek-ep-301-al-central-amp-taproom-tour-r5436/http://traffic.libsyn.com/gleemangeek/Episode_301_AL_Central_and_Taproom_Tour.mp3?dest-id=74590 [media][/media]5436Sun, 19 Mar 2017 15:24:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-sent-eight-players-to-minor-league-camp-r5433/In the clubhouse, players shook hands, gave man-hugs and wished the players sent out best wishes, often encouraging them to keep working and that they hope to see them in the big leagues soon. For several, that is a real possibility. Following Saturday's game, Molitor noted, "We're looking at our...5433Sat, 18 Mar 2017 12:37:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-need-to-be-buyers-next-winter-r5430/Something drastic will need to be done in order to keep this team relevant. The front office turnover made some waves, but it was followed by a typically quiet offseason for the Twins. To be fair, with a free agent pitching class "headlined" by Rich Hill and Ivan Nova, this wasn't the winter to ma...5430Fri, 17 Mar 2017 02:05:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/cody39s-top-prospects-1-5-r5427/5. Tyler Jay, LHP Age: 22/ Highest Level: Double-A Jay's first five 2016 starts were rough as he was knocked around for 11 earned runs in 19.1 innings. He failed to pitch more than five innings in any of these starts and opponents were getting on base 33% of the time. Over his next 38.1 frames, he...5427Thu, 16 Mar 2017 02:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/alex-wimmers-has-perspective-and-pitches-r5429/“They’ve dealt with a lot with me and I felt like I owed it to them.

He made one relief appearance for the Twins in 2016. He came to spring training as a long shot to make the Twins Opening Day roster, rarely mentioned when fifth-starter options were mentioned.
