Davis was the Twins 37th round pick in 2014. His high school team had serious potential and talent. According to Davis...3467Sat, 21 Mar 2015 21:45:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/trevor-may-states-his-case-r3466/So why was he lifted? The Twins certainly wanted to get some innings for relievers Mark Hamburger, Aaron Thompson and AJ Achter, who are all competing for a bullpen role. But manager Paul Molitor added that May’s pitches were changing and elevating in the fourth inning. “Out of the stretch, he sta...3466Sat, 21 Mar 2015 21:32:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/beating-vegas-the-devil-rays-r3465/Year In Review Year after year, as free agent after free agent left the Rays, we would see stories about how the Rays successful run was over and a betting line that matched it. And year after year, that meant easy money for anyone betting the "over." Finally, last year, that was not such an easy...3465Sat, 21 Mar 2015 18:29:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/sorting-out-the-bullpen-r3464/First, a quick look at the guys who are essentially locks: Glen Perkins, LHP Perkins was slowed early in camp by an oblique strain, but he pitched in a minor-league game on Thursday with no issues, and is expected to make his Grapefruit League debut this weekend.

It's warm. It's having both road and away games within driving distance, every day. It is peeks of minor leaguers and up close access to major leaguers. It is watching Byron Buxton glide into a triple and Tom Kelly feeding fungoes and encouragement to Kenny Varga...3463Sat, 21 Mar 2015 03:40:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-pitching-woes-2013-and-2014-r3439/I'm always interested in new pitching metrics development, and not only because I have myself taken part in the endeavor. This is an interesting metric, albeit much more complex than PE and xPE. It also correlates well with SIERA, which along with xPE (because it is easy to calculate) are my two f...3439Fri, 20 Mar 2015 21:40:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/friday-notes-from-ft-myers-you-got-cervelli39d-r3462/* Gibson rarely used his change-up against right-handed hitters last season, but says he's working on implementing it more frequently now. One of Cervelli's homers came on a change that hung over the plate, but Gibson says he's undeterred. "That's the first one I've been beat on." * It was an unch...3462Fri, 20 Mar 2015 20:45:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/minnesota-twins-roster-projection-2015-version-30-r3461/When a player becomes a “given” for the roster (in my opinion), I will highlight the player’s name in red. Trades and signings can happen at any time between now and opening day, but that just means that even “givens” can change. We will also be able to learn, over time, what it is that Paul Molit...3461Fri, 20 Mar 2015 18:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-option-alex-meyer-to-triple-a-r3460/Meyer has struggled with his control this spring, issuing seven walks in 5 2/3 innings over three Grapefruit League appearances. That included an erratic outing at Port Charlotte on Thursday in which Meyer issued four walks over two innings.

He's an unmistakable figure on the mound, standing a gangly 6'9" with legs that look longer than my entire body.
