It's all about Miguel Sano. The experiment of running the big young slugger to the outfield needs to end, and soon, because the risks assumed by this ill-begotten idea are quickly becoming unpalatable. Last wee...4778Mon, 06 Jun 2016 03:05:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-amp-the-geek-ep-255-buxton-mania-r4777/http://traffic.libsyn.com/gleemangeek/gatg_6_5_16_final.mp34777Mon, 06 Jun 2016 01:45:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/trading-places-r4769/Ten years ago, in 2006, the Twins were at the apex of a successful run in the AL Central. They won 96 games with an upstart squad that featured the American League's MVP, batting champ and Cy Young. They would have had the Rookie of the Year, too, if Francisco Liriano didn't tear his UCL. Terry Ry...4769Fri, 03 Jun 2016 03:47:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-daily-draft-preview-prep-arms-r4766/WHO ARE THEY? The headliners of the group, Jason Groome (LHP, New Jersey HS) and Riley Pint (RHP, Kansas HS) are both expected to be long gone by the time the Twins come to the podium. (Though there has been some recent chatter of Groome sliding.) The second tier of prep pitchers has a few more na...4766Thu, 02 Jun 2016 23:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/there-i-go-turn-the-page-r4768/I’m not sure what he envisioned his life would be like as the manager of the Minnesota Twins when he signed on for the gig after Ron Gardenhire was let go following the 2014 season, but I’d bet every cent I have that he wasn’t expecting this. After all, his Twins are on pace to finish with one of...4768Thu, 02 Jun 2016 17:40:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/game-thread-twins-v-rays-62-710pm-ct-r4767/1. Pomp and Circumstance – The traditional song played at graduations is just a smaller piece from a larger composition called “March No. 1 in D Major” written in 1901. I think it’s strange that a section of the song got a memorable title “Pomp and Circumstance” while the original composition it’s...4767Thu, 02 Jun 2016 16:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/david-ortiz-a-minnesota-retrospective-r4755/The Twins weren't the only team to give up on Ortiz before he reached his full potential. Around Thanksgiving in 1992, Ortiz was signed as an amateur free agent by the Seattle Mariners. He'd play three seasons in the Mariners system and he hit 18 home runs in the Midwest League as a 20-year old.

He manages people and projects, has an excellent grasp on business relationships, interacts with fans, and admirably handles the tremendous responsibility and pressure inherent to his title as Twins President. I certainly don't hold him ac...4758Tue, 31 May 2016 01:21:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/byron-buxton-recalled-r4756/It will be Buxton's fourth time on the Twins 25-man roster. He was recalled last June straight from AA-Chattanooga after 268 plate appearances but was injured less than two weeks later. He returned in August. Then he was named the starting centerfielder this April after Aaron Hicks was traded in t...4756Mon, 30 May 2016 23:25:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/game-thread-twinsa39s-530-300pm-r4754/1. Memory – I have a theory that eventually you just run out of RAM. You reach a certain age where your brain just can’t hold any more and when you learn new things… something has to fall out to make room for the new information. For example… I was surfing the web this morning and learning some ne...4754Mon, 30 May 2016 18:33:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-amp-the-geek-ep-253-winning-without-aaron-r4752/You can listen by downloading us from iTunes, Stitcher or find it at GleemanAndTheGeek.com.

I reached out to a number of scouts for feedback on this mock and/or other things that are being talked about in the industry: "I have no clue." "I honestly have no idea." "Anything could happen." I'll share some of things th...4750Sun, 29 May 2016 21:00:00 +0000
