It’s impossible to have any idea who may or may not go in the five spots that precede the Twins making their selection. Because of that “murkiness”, it...3696Mon, 25 May 2015 00:55:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/draft-prep-twins-outfield-depth-r3689/Have a look for yourself and let us know what you think.

Statistically speaking, the corner infield spots are traditionally held down by hulking home run hitters who drive the ball to all fields. Power has generally not been part of Mauer's game (just 37 HR since 2010), and sti...3686Fri, 22 May 2015 11:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/cereal-and-statistics-r3682/But I'm also happy to balance the Twins in one corner of my mind and world events (like Greek debt defaults and Indian corruption trials) are squarely in another.

MLB Standings -- If this was 2012 or 2013 or 2014 or umm... 1981 or 1644 for that matter, it would be silly to be thinking about the MLB Standings. However, it's 2015 so let's think about it.
