This is not news. However, in addition to getting on base, a lead-off hitter is often asked to work the starting pitcher a little bit -- not to the extent of laying off of a hittab...4724Fri, 20 May 2016 12:51:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/troubled-youth-r4723/While the depth and upside on the roster heading into the season positioned the Minnesota Twins as a fringe playoff contender, most fans came in with the understanding that this team remained a work in progress. The postseason was a nice dream, but above all, getting signs of positive progress fro...4723Fri, 20 May 2016 04:25:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/game-thread-twins-v-blue-jays-519-710pm-ct-r4721/1. Jeannie – This American Icon was trapped in her bottle for 2,000 years until being discovered by an astronaut who landed far off course on a deserted island. In other words… after 2,000 years in a bottle… Jeannie is a lot like a non-blinking Alex Meyer. 2. Aladdin’s Lamp – Terry Ryan is the Gen...4721Thu, 19 May 2016 17:39:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-more-things-change-the-more-things-change-r4720/Let's break this out into positions. Let's start with the Hitters: OPENING DAY ROSTER C - Kurt Suzuki 1B - Joe Mauer 2B - Brian Dozier 3B - Trevor Plouffe SS - Eduardo Escobar LF - Eddie Rosario CF - Byron Buxton RF - Miguel Sano DH - Byung Ho Park Bench: John Ryan Murphy, Danny Santana, Oswaldo A...4720Thu, 19 May 2016 11:41:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/draft-whispers-r4718/*Consensus (at least as far as I can reach) suggests all of A.J. Puk (1), Riley Pint (2), Jason Groome (3), Kyle Lewis (4), Nick Senzel (5), Corey Ray (6), Delvin Perez (7) and Mickey Moniak (8) will be gone before the Twins pick at #15. Those rankings are according to Baseball America and the lis...4718Thu, 19 May 2016 02:03:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/what-to-do-with-phil-hughes-r4717/On Tuesday night, Hughes was gritty. It was an admirable outing, without question. One day after the worst start that the Twins have seen in many years, he took the ball and gave a hell of an effort, weaving his way through six shutout innings without having much bite on any of his pitches. The ve...4717Wed, 18 May 2016 03:22:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/a-glimpse-into-the-life-of-an-official-scorer-r4715/At Target Field, the official scorer sits in the first seat in the front row of the press box on the left as you’re looking at the field. When I picked up my media pass I noticed the person who signed in before me was from MBC Korea, one of that country’s three major broadcasting systems.

From the moment a player is drafted or signed to the Minnesota Twins organization, I try to learn as much about that player as I can and follow their Twins careers. Why? I enjoy the journey. There is no specific, exact science to prospect development. Some guy...4714Tue, 17 May 2016 12:20:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-torii-hunter-hangover-r4711/For years fans of this club have engaged in endless discussion about who the clubhouse leader is with Hunter not on the roster. Joe Mauer's quiet demeanor doesn't demand everyone's attention. Some players might react better to more subtle leadership compared to Hunter's boisterous attitude.

Richard Dawson – Perhaps nobody in history has personally been in the middle of more feuds than he has. Dawson spent 6 years in a Nazi prison camp from 1965 to 1971 and the things he witnessed and the things he did during his years of incarceration at Stalag 13 are some of the greatest stories...4712Mon, 16 May 2016 21:08:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/nine-innings-of-notes-r4710/1st Inning Brian Dozier was moved out of the leadoff spot. He moved into the #3 spot for one game, and most recently, he has been batting sixth. It’s certainly understandable when you look at his 2016 numbers. Overall, he’s hitting .218/.307/.363 (.670) with six doubles and four home runs.
