Granted, he wasn't a waiver acquisition,...4786Wed, 08 Jun 2016 02:24:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/game-thread-twins-v-marlins-67-710pm-ct-r4783/1. Old People – Florida has a lot of old people living in the state. Low taxes, warm weather, effective marketing, available real estate and a herd mentality has brought senior citizens down to Florida from all over the place to retire. Yes… Old People have a herd mentality that bands them togethe...4783Tue, 07 Jun 2016 13:04:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/will-the-real-eduardo-nunez-please-stand-up-r4781/Nunez joined the Twins before the 2014 season and he has been used sparingly over the last two seasons. In just under 400 at-bats, he hit .265/.299/.406 with 34 extra-base hits and a 60 to 17 strikeout to walk ratio. There were some that questioned whether he should be offered arbitration because...4781Tue, 07 Jun 2016 01:20:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/urgency-to-trade-plouffe-growing-r4778/Plouffe is doing little to help the Twins this year, but that's not why he needs to go. 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.

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.
