He was a top prospect with the Braves a couple of years ago, with a fastball that touched triple digits. Shoulder injuries have stalled his progress the last two years, but the Twins scouts who saw him in 2014 liked what...3260Wed, 17 Dec 2014 15:01:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/td-mailbag-center-field-meyer39s-role-and-more-r3259/TD Member Boom Boom: Should the Twins look to bring in a CF, or should they stand pat with Hicks and/or Schafer? I'd be fine rolling with those two. Hopefully Paul Molitor is open to the idea of platooning, because using Hicks against lefties and Schafer against righties would maximize both their...3259Wed, 17 Dec 2014 04:24:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/no-juice-podcast-34-baseball39s-winter-meetings-r3258/NO JUICE PODCAST, EPISODE #34: BASEBALL'S WINTER MEETINGS Other topics from this week's show include more payroll talk and lying to your children during the holidays.
