It isn’t Brian Dozier, who inked a four-year, $20 million extension just before the season started. No, it’s third baseman Trevor Plouffe, whom many in Twins Territory regard as flyover country geographically speaki...3596Tue, 28 Apr 2015 02:48:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/game-thread-tigerstwins-427-710pm-r3594/1. The Tigers -- I realize that 96% of you agree with every single word I say. So I know that my pre-season thoughts on the Tigers are going to be controversial with the 4% who occasionally find my thoughts quirky and more applicable to the discussion of banana's. Controversy be damned... Here goe...3594Mon, 27 Apr 2015 20:24:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/fanfare-for-the-journeyman-r3569/A journeyman’s value is not typically described with season stats or career slash lines, but in single moments; when he gets a key hit, makes an outstanding defensive play or simply moves a runner over to allow the franchise player a chance to hit with a player in scoring position. With a team lik...3569Mon, 27 Apr 2015 07:46:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/that39s-the-ticket-spring-arrives-r3592/Overview With the season now three weeks old, the Twins have faced every American League Central opponent, and have managed to record at least one win against each of them except Detroit. The Tigers, who thoroughly dismantled Minnesota at Comerica to open the season, have had their way with just a...3592Mon, 27 Apr 2015 02:03:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gardenhire39s-possible-landing-spots-r3588/Since there are currently no openings, he isn't actively pursuing a position, but he's open to considering all possibilities. There's also no reason to hurry since he had a year remaining on his contract when the Twins let him go at the end of last season. Some managers are already on the hot seat...3588Sat, 25 Apr 2015 12:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/game-thread-twinsmariners-424-910pm-r3589/1. The Mariners -- The Seattle Mariners are not in first place. They are loaded and not in first place... Nelson Cruz may have hit 77 homes in the first 15 games but they are not in first place. The Mariners are in 4th place with a 6-9 record. And that looks just like the Twins right now... 6-9 an...3589Fri, 24 Apr 2015 20:44:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/what-to-make-of-mike-pelfrey-r3587/Wait. Serviceable? Yes, I know 4/20 was on Monday but believe me, I am not high. There are several reasons why maybe -- just maybe -- he might be able to provide decent innings for the Twins as a starter. For example, he has shown in his first three outings that he can miss a few bats on occasion....3587Fri, 24 Apr 2015 06:04:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/top-10-longest-tenured-minnesota-twins-r3586/To make the this list, a player had to have been signed before 2008. There are some interesting names that you may not have realized have been with the Twins for as long as they have. In fact, there may be a couple that you have never heard of and I’ll add a few more names to take us to 2008. So,...3586Fri, 24 Apr 2015 05:54:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/how-tall-is-too-tall-how-old-is-too-old-part-2-r3585/There weren't a lot of pitchers with high strikeout numbers. That surprised me because when one thinks of tall pitchers, one focuses on the best tall pitcher: Randy Johnson, who ranks second all-time in strikeouts. The pitchers were: Mike Smithson (6’ 8”), who debuted in 1982 as a 27-year-old, Ran...3585Fri, 24 Apr 2015 03:31:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-to-let-santana-stick-it-out-at-short-r3578/Do you see why it is hard to convince average fans to buy into the validity of defensive metrics? Twins second baseman Brian Dozier, whose defense has been considered an aspect of his game that doesn’t receive enough attention, doesn’t believe that those metrics -- good or bad -- tell the entire s...3578Wed, 22 Apr 2015 05:29:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/defenseless-how-can-the-twins-improve-in-the-field-r3577/Now, this was on Gibson to some extent. He needs to recover better from that mishap and, in general, you're not going to have much success when you give up four walks and eight hits with no strikeouts in an outing. But porous defense has been an ongoing theme for this club in the early weeks. They...3577Wed, 22 Apr 2015 04:37:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/no-juice-podcast-52-one-year-anniversary-r3576/Other topics include Tinder’s endgame, Varsity Blues Fan Fiction, and hockey.
