Frustrating? "Yeah," he said. "But part of that is you can'...3456Thu, 19 Mar 2015 03:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/wednesday-notes-from-ft-myers-a-speedy-loss-r3455/* Ervin Santana's third Grapefruit start didn't go quite as smoothly as the first two, as he allowed three runs on four hits -- including a two-run homer by Jonathan Schoop on a slider that didn't slide much -- but he looked fine. He aggressively threw the ball in the zone and got several swinging...3455Wed, 18 Mar 2015 20:01:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/offense-is-springing-to-life-r3454/The general qualms about the team's run production last spring proved overblown, as the Twins ended up outscoring all but six teams in the majors during the regular season, but the dearth of power proved to be an accurate omen. In 28 Grapefruit games last year, the Twins slugged .356 and hit a tot...3454Wed, 18 Mar 2015 03:31:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/tuesday-notes-from-sarasota-round-trippers-abound-r3453/* Phil Hughes had his best outing of the spring -- an efficient effort that saw him cruise through four frames on only 44 pitches. Outside of an opposite field homer by Chris Davis that barely sneaked over the wall and inside the foul pole in left, Hughes was almost perfect. He tallied a pair of s...3453Tue, 17 Mar 2015 21:02:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/no-juice-podcast-47-tryouts-r3452/After a chat with JL Beers’ Mike Evans, they introduce MinnCentric’s newest site, Northern Pitch — a soccer website that started off with a bang last week by breaking some big news — and give a farewell to Christian Ponder and Greg Jennings.

The Twins scouted him at some national tournaments. At the Under-18 National Championship just over a year ago, he hit .636/.652/.1.136 with six doubles, two triples and four home runs in 44 at bats. It was shortly after that per...3451Tue, 17 Mar 2015 14:13:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/milone-making-his-case-but-not-making-excuses-r3450/It came as a surprise when Kyle Gibson won the final rotation spot a year ago, but looking back, perhaps it shouldn't have. Vance Worley and Scott Diamond were both coming off horrendous seasons, and Samuel Deduno was a 30-year-old journeyman with very iffy command. All three are now out of the or...3450Tue, 17 Mar 2015 02:07:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/sano-among-three-twins-optioned-monday-r3443/In all, the Twins have now sent 16 players to minor league camp in the last two days.There are no surprises among the players cut from big league camp to this point.

You would sit down with him for a media pow-wow and you were pretty much guaranteed a laugh or five, as he would invariably spew a bunch of witty repartees and folksy quips. But while amusing, his pressers weren't always...3448Mon, 16 Mar 2015 14:03:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/torii-hunter-might-not-retire-after-2015-r3447/“When I started talking to the Twins I had a relationship with [general manager] Terry Ryan and we just had a great conversation, man, and Eddie Guardado called me, he’s the bullpen coach now, and he’s talking about how much fun we can make this clubhouse,” Hunter told MLB Network Radio the reason...3447Mon, 16 Mar 2015 05:36:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-amp-the-geek-episode-185-rosario-time-r3445/http://traffic.libsyn.com/gleemangeek/Ep_185_Rosario_and_the_Iron_Door.mp33445Mon, 16 Mar 2015 00:53:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/sunday-notes-from-ft-myers-gibson-shines-r3446/Making his third official start of the spring, Gibson delivered perhaps the best performance of any Twins pitcher thus far in Grapefruit League action, hurling four scoreless innings against an admittedly watered down traveling Cards lineup. Of the 12 outs Gibson recorded, 11 came on either ground...3446Mon, 16 Mar 2015 00:38:00 +0000
