That’s the good news. The bad news is that it was pretty breezy and high temperatures for the day barely, if at all, reached 70 degrees. I know that sounds good to a lot of people, but I had to wear long sleeves much of the day at the ballpark and was a...2448Thu, 27 Mar 2014 19:14:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/the-old-man-and-the-wall-r2441/He was there again this morning. In khaki shorts, an old t-shirt and a ball cap, he was unassuming. He easily could have been missed, but I noted his presence in the back of my mind. The first time I saw him, I couldn't figure out the meaning. He wound up and fired again and again. His easy left han...2441Tue, 25 Mar 2014 22:59:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/an-unexpected-twist-r2421/I awake with sore hands and forearms, worry and stress cause me to clench my fists while I sleep-an outward manifestation of an inward feeling. My body tenses up in a reaction to the stresses of life. The only way I am able to defend against my stress reaction is through letting go, through surrende...2421Wed, 19 Mar 2014 03:10:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/get-to-know-kohl-stewart-r2415/Like everyone else, I have read the reports on Kohl Stewart. Big fastball. Very good curveball. Developing changeup, and quite possibly, the best slider in the organization. I ranked him #4 in my personal Top 30 Twins prospect lists, and he also was the #4 choice in the Top 10 Twins Prospect ranking...2415Mon, 17 Mar 2014 07:13:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-sent-eight-to-minor-league-camp-r2410/You know it is coming, but certainly there will be some disappointment. With just two weeks before opening day, the Minnesota Twins made some more moves. They optioned Danny Santana, Eric Fryer and Kris Johnson. Five players were reassigned to minor league camp. They are Sean Gilmartin, Brandon Wari...2410Sun, 16 Mar 2014 12:53:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/spring-training-report-top-prospects-galore-r2416/The (big) boys were out of town today and this left only the two A-level squads in action at the Lee County Sports Complex fields, playing the A and Advanced A level Orioles' squads. One of the things that needs to be noted is that these squads do not see each other in regular season competitio...2416Sun, 16 Mar 2014 01:32:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/pitching-prospects-on-display-with-video-r2409/On Friday afternoon, the Minnesota Twins played the Baltimore Orioles to a 2-2 tie at Hammond Stadium. The big news of the day was that the Twins had restructured closer Glen Perkins’ contract. Meanwhile, on the back field, the two Twins' Class A affiliates were playing spring training games against...2409Sat, 15 Mar 2014 00:56:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/get-to-know-luke-bard-r2405/It's been a struggle for Luke Bard to get on the mound since signing with the Twins in 2012. The 23-year-old right-handed pitcher is at his second big league camp, hoping he can get and remain healthy throughout the season. I had the chance to catch up with him following a workout and before he wen...2405Fri, 14 Mar 2014 16:16:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-intrasquad-game-2-r2398/The Minnesota Twins were back in action on Tuesday after an off day on Monday. The team traveled to Port Charlotte and lost to the Tampa Bay Rays by a score of 7-1. Jason Kubel homering seems to have been the main story of the game. As Twins Daily fans would know and expect from me, I chose to stay...2398Wed, 12 Mar 2014 14:17:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/trevor-may-and-first-pitch-strikes-r2399/Last season in New Britain, I watched 4 or 5 of Trevor May's starts. I'm still higher on him than most people are, because a few things became apparent to me after watching him -- all of which are fixable (to a degree, anyway): 1) The defense behind him was sometimes lousy (I'm looking specifically...2399Wed, 12 Mar 2014 10:42:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/observation-from-minor-league-intrasquad-game-1-r2397/On Monday, the Minnesota Twins had an actual off day. The players and the coaching staff were given a full day off. However, on the minor league side, things were really busy. They held a regular workout from about 9:30 until 11:30, but then after lunch, they played their first intra-squad game of t...2397Tue, 11 Mar 2014 05:05:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/get-to-know-stuart-turner-r2396/Each year, the Minnesota Twins (and every other big league team) invite several players to spring training who aren’t on the 40 man roster. Many of those guys are veteran minor leaguers, but this year the Twins brought in some of their better prospects. Byron Buxton, Miguel Sano and Alex Meyer, the...2396Tue, 11 Mar 2014 01:50:00 +0000
