Though two affiliates didn’t play Monday, there was still plenty of action and moves. Per Jeff Johnson, Christian Iba...4985Tue, 09 Aug 2016 03:24:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-report-87-omar-bencomo-is-awesome33-r4981/If the season had started 10 games ago, the Twins would have the second best record in the American League. Too bad the Twins had been terrible for the better part of four months before this brief stretch. To make things worse, the Twins sent struggling Byron Buxton to Rochester to make room for T...4981Mon, 08 Aug 2016 01:22:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-leaderboard-through-86-r4979/The full-season minor league regular seasons end on Labor Day. The short-season teams end about a week earlier. So, we’re getting down there in terms of games remaining in the season. We haven’t updated the Twins leaderboard or the reports on how the Twins affiliates are doing in their leagues and...4979Sun, 07 Aug 2016 18:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-report-86-kohl-stewart-wins33-r4978/It was a beautiful Saturday across the upper Midwest. There was a full slate of games in the Twins system. While there weren't any standout performances there were a lot of players worthy of recognition on this night. Please feel free to ask questions about anything you read today or anything in t...4978Sun, 07 Aug 2016 04:02:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-report-85-stashak39s-strong-miracle-debut-r4977/There will be quite the log jam set up when Trevor Plouffe comes off of the disabled list early next week. There was some talk of Miguel Sano being optioned to Rochester, but that’s not likely. Kennys Vargas has been better in this go-round with the Twins. Meanwhile, Byung Ho Park, Adam Brett Walk...4977Sat, 06 Aug 2016 06:12:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/the-rock-solid-season-of-zach-granite-r4975/If you were to compile a list of the Twins prospects who have seen their stock rise the most in 2016, Zach Granite’s name would certainly be near the top. I had a chance to catch up with the speedy centerfielder of the Chattanooga Lookouts and talked to him about his season, his job as a leadoff h...4975Fri, 05 Aug 2016 12:15:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-report-84-a-mejia-league-debut33-r4973/Pat Light made his Twins organization debut on Wednesday night. On Thursday, lefty Adalberto Mejia made his first start in the organization, for the Rochester Red Wings. Alan Busenitz made his Twins debut out of the Chattanooga bullpen. Three new arms for us to follow in these reports. "Rain" was...4973Fri, 05 Aug 2016 03:12:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-starting-pitcher-of-the-month-july-2016-r4972/One more month left in the minor league season. It is hard to believe. Today we hand out our final award of the month to the top starting pitcher in the Twins system in July. It is another familiar name in these awards, but it is a deserving recipient. Before jumping to our starting pitcher honora...4972Thu, 04 Aug 2016 11:43:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/the-next-wave-r4970/These last three games against the Indians have really been something. It might make you wonder how things would be different had the offense clicked earlier this year. It might also make you look at the contributions of Max Kepler and not feel so bad about Byron Buxton or Miguel Sano. It might al...4970Thu, 04 Aug 2016 03:37:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-report-83-close-games-and-more-transactions-r4971/The Minnesota Twins’ bats continued to rake in Cleveland with a third straight win, and a third straight double-digit output. The team is now 32-30 in their last 62 games. Mauer. Dozier. Kepler, Rosario. Pretty much everyone is producing right now. While the Twins have played three straight high-s...4971Thu, 04 Aug 2016 03:35:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-relief-pitcher-of-the-month-july-2016-r4969/After reviewing the top hitters in the Twins system in June yesterday, it’s time to consider who the top pitchers were in July. Tomorrow we’ll take a lot at the top starting pitchers, but today you’ll be able to see which relief pitchers performed well in July. There were quite a few solid perform...4969Wed, 03 Aug 2016 12:02:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-report-82-walker-homers-plouffe-rehabs-r4967/Not every prospect is going to make it to their ultimate goal. That's the nature of baseball. However, last year's Southern League MVP Max Kepler is sure making hitting at the big league level look pretty easy. A night after becoming the fifth Twins player with three home runs in a game, Kepler cr...4967Wed, 03 Aug 2016 03:05:00 +0000
