Click on the link above and scroll down to the photo of Sano reaching for a ball in the outfield, about halfway down.

Graham is down more than 30 pounds after finishing the 2015 season at 210. The difference is noticeable, evidently, as Terry Ryan stated that Graham "looked like a different human being." It will be interesting to see how the weight l...4449Fri, 26 Feb 2016 15:49:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/td-top-prospects-9-kohl-stewart-r4446/Age: 21 (DOB: 10/7/94) 2015 Stats (High-A): 129.1 IP, 7-8, 3.20 ERA, 1.38 WHIP, 71/45 K/BB ETA: 2018 2014 Ranking: 4; 2015 Ranking: 4 National Top 100 Rankings BA: NR | MLB: NR | BP: NR What's To Like The Minnesota Twins used the fourth overall pick in the 2013 draft on Texas prep pitcher Kohl Ste...4446Thu, 25 Feb 2016 03:27:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/top-ten-longest-tenured-twins-players-r4443/So, here you have it, a look at the 10 longest-tenured players in the Minnesota Twins organization but first, a few honorable mentions. Honorable Mention #13 – On October 9, 2009, the Twins were playing (another) playoff series against the Yankees, but the big news of the day came off the field. T...4443Wed, 24 Feb 2016 02:39:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-twins39-cheapness-isn39t-the-problem-it39s-the-symptom-r4445/On the one hand, I agree and sympathize with that point. After all, no amount of realistic free agent spending would have helped from 2011-2014. It is, indeed, far too easy to pin all the team’s struggles on their refusal to spend like the team in a mid-sized market that they ultimately are.

In fact, Minnesota might be one of the organizations that is furthest behind when it comes to using analytics to drive front office decision- making. Under the Terry Ryan regime, the way teams a...4441Tue, 23 Feb 2016 04:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/on-the-twins39-cheapness-and-showing-your-work-r4440/And I get it. Having taken the public for said ride and secured a stadium that is maybe the most appealing in baseball, the Twins (per Cot’s Contracts) ended their first two seasons in Target Field with top-ten payrolls, but then fell back to 13th in 2012, and haven’t been out of the 20s since.
