Garbe and Rob Bowen, neither of whom made it to the majors. Morneau hit cleanup in his major league debut in June, 2010, hitting a two-strike line drive single to center in his first at-bat and going 2-for-4 on the day. He...4706Sun, 15 May 2016 14:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/how-to-fix-these-twins-r4701/In an attempt to salvage what can be salvaged of the 2016 season, and put a best foot forward for 2017, here's the strategy I'm going with sooner rather than later. Move 1: Demote Eddie Rosario I've been telling you this would happen since way back in February. My comments on Eddie Rosario have ge...4701Sat, 14 May 2016 10:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-worst-twins-since-1989-r4703/Today, though, I'm going to pick out the worst players for the Twins at each position, DH included, since 1989. Here are the stipulations. 1. The players have to come from a losing season. 2. They had to have played at least half of their season at the specific position during a losing season. 2a....4703Fri, 13 May 2016 23:51:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/game-thread-twins-indians-513-610pm-ct-r4702/1. Christopher Columbus – Back in the year 1492… Columbus set out in search of an easier route to China and India because airline travel had simply become too cumbersome. His ship, the Santa Maria, landed on the shores of what is now present day Knoxville, Tennessee, and during his exploration of...4702Fri, 13 May 2016 17:45:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/are-the-2016-twins-a-young-team-r4700/EXPLAINING WEIGHTED AGE First, it is important to know what the term weighted age means. Basically, it is how Baseball-Reference measures the age of a team. For hitters, it is a formula using at-bats and games played. For pitchers, the formula includes (3 x games started) plus games plus saves. As...4700Fri, 13 May 2016 12:01:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/what-could-the-twins-trade-for-trout-r4698/To understand why this could be necessary, it's important to understand the current state of affairs in Los Angeles. The Angels are hurting with mounting injuries and they have a historically bad minor league system. Having the best player in the world doesn't help if a team isn't able to provide...4698Fri, 13 May 2016 01:35:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/mock-draft-v-10-r4695/There is some feeling around the league that this year’s draft sees an unprecedented number of pre-draft deals. But that’s something I hear every year. Some teams - like the Astros - have gotten really good at playing the draft. You don’t think Daz Cameron dropped to them at 37 by pure happenstanc...4695Wed, 11 May 2016 22:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/line-of-succession-r4693/Pohlad has faith in Ryan. This much is obvious, and always has been. When you step back from the lens of a Twins fan who is frustrated with the woeful state of the big-league team, it isn’t all that hard to see why. Ryan has been a GM for two decades, and has been involved with the game profession...4693Wed, 11 May 2016 02:04:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/behold-the-power-of-park-r4689/Park entered play this weekend in the midst of a six-game hitting streak. That streak came to an end on Saturday after he was plunked on the knee with a Chris Sale slider. He was forced to be removed from the game but it was an impressive week of hitting from the rookie slugger. In his first 10 ML...4689Tue, 10 May 2016 01:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/game-thread-twins-v-orioles-59-710pm-ct-postponed-r4690/1. In Search of the Holy Grail -- Go and tell Pohlad that we've been charged by Minnesotans with a sacred quest. If he will give us food and shelter for the night... he can join us in our quest for the World Series title. Turns out Pohlad wasn't very keen because he already has a couple.

However, it...4688Mon, 09 May 2016 02:55:00 +0000
