If that doesn't do it for you, you can get your baseball fix from the newes...3583Fri, 24 Apr 2015 03:40:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/get-to-know-kernels-ifof-trey-vavra-r3582/Trey Vavra got the day off on Monday. On Tuesday, he went 3-5 including a big three-run homer that jump-started a big offensive game for the Cedar Rapids Kernels. On Wednesday night in Wisconsin, Vavra went 4-4 in the Kernels win. As you’re reading this, he is hitting a robust .372 with seven extr...3582Thu, 23 Apr 2015 06:57:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-report-422-vavra-continues-roll-r3581/At what point does TwinsDaily get renamed TreyDaily? Back-to-back Hitter of the Day. Picture all over the place. Maybe after a good game tomorrow? We'll see. The Twins made a transaction today, trading C Dan Rohlfing to the Mets for cash considerations. Dan was the last member of the 2007 draft cl...3581Thu, 23 Apr 2015 02:17:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/mlb-draft-spring-board-10-r3580/This draft is a mess. The plan was for this to be a draft board - one through ten, but with the spring playing out as it has, it would be plenty difficult to do that. Instead there are 10 players listed in three different groups. Let's run through some of the facts and you can try to sort it out f...3580Wed, 22 Apr 2015 19:48:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-report-421-kernels-remain-hot-despite-cold-r3579/Three teams struggled to do anything on offense on Tuesday, but the Cedar Rapids Kernels remained hot and picked up another big win… in the snow in Wisconsin. The Red Wings played two games, each started by a pitcher from the University of Kentucky. Both pitched very well. One big streak came to a...3579Wed, 22 Apr 2015 06:24:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/get-to-know-kernels-lhp-cam-booser-r3575/I watched three games in Cedar Rapids last week, and Cameron Booser was the man on the mound to close out two of the Kernels wins. The left-hander has a big fastball, hitting 96 mph with regularity and even touching 99 mph. He threw a sharp slider and tested out a changeup that could be very goo...3575Tue, 21 Apr 2015 05:54:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-report-420-pitching-trio-honored-r3574/Right-handed pitcher Tyler Duffey, left-handed pitcher Pat Dean and right-handed pitcher Felix Jorge each walked away with "Pitcher of the Week" honors in their respective leagues. Duffey earned the honor in the Southern League after tossing 13.2 scoreless frames with 18 strikeouts. Dean, a former...3574Tue, 21 Apr 2015 02:45:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-report-419-extra33-extra33-read-all-about-it-r3570/On Sunday afternoon Trevor May went six innings in his second start of the year for the Twins, holding the Cleveland Indians to just one run on four hits and zero walks. He struck out seven. Torii Hunter hit his first home run in a Twins uniform since 2007, a three-run shot in the sixth inning to...3570Mon, 20 Apr 2015 03:03:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-report-418-the-power-of-walker-r3568/There were a couple of really rough starting pitching performances on this night, but there was one that was very good. One of the prolific power hitters in the Twins farm system went deep a couple of times. On Saturday, there were five Twins minor league games. In a bit of a riddle, all four affi...3568Sun, 19 Apr 2015 03:10:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-report-417-pitchers-and-power-r3567/Power and pitching have a way of getting noticed, in the big leagues or in the minor leagues, or frankly any level of organized baseball. On Friday night in the Minnesota Twins minor leagues, there were some big home runs (to go with Trevor Plouffe’s extra-innings, walk-off blast), but there were...3567Sat, 18 Apr 2015 14:12:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/player-appearances-kernels-reading-program-r3566/Author’s Note: Thank you for checking out this story.

It’s always enjoyable to watch the young players develop and see their improvement and success going forward. On Monday afternoon, I was able to enjoy a twenty-minute one-on-one interview with Kernels manager Jake Ma...3564Fri, 17 Apr 2015 06:22:00 +0000
