It didn't take long for Kendrys Morales to remember how to hit and Brian Dozier is putting himself into the All-Star conversation at second base. Minnesota is in the...2736Wed, 11 Jun 2014 05:12:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-top-10-prospects-post-draft-edition-r2731/Minnesota added some top-notch talent to the organization at the end of last week. For the third year in a row, the Twins had a top five pick in the MLB Draft. Minnesota's farm system was already considered one of the best in the game and adding top tier talent can only help the organization. My las...2731Tue, 10 Jun 2014 16:22:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-report-69-one-runned-r2730/The big news today was that the Twins reached an agreement on a contract with Nick Gordon, the 5th overall pick in last week's draft. His career will shortly begin in Elizabethton. The other news was that Kendrys Morales has had enough watching and started the game at DH before getting pinch run for...2730Tue, 10 Jun 2014 03:25:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/interview-with-red-wings-manager-gene-glynn-part-one-r2729/Recently I had the opportunity to spend some time with Rochester Red Wings manager Gene Glynn. In his two-plus seasons with the team, they've won at least 72 games each year, as well as leading the Wings to their first playoff appearance in seven years. In part one of our conversation, we talk about...2729Tue, 10 Jun 2014 02:12:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-report-68-non-offensive-r2721/The day started with news that Kendrys Morales was in the Twins Cities taking a physical. At an 11:00 press conference, the Twins made the signing official. Though he may not play much in the next week or so, he is certainly a potent bat who will be able to hit in the middle of the Twins lineup. Sa...2721Mon, 09 Jun 2014 00:03:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-report-67-the-meyer-and-rosario-show-r2719/The big news of the day in Twins Territory was that the Twins agreed to terms with free agent 1B/DH Kendrys Morales, but the Twins also shut out the Houston Astros at Target Field behind a strong start from Kyle Gibson. He improved to 5-5 on the year and lowered his ERA to under 4.00. In the minors,...2719Sun, 08 Jun 2014 04:20:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/moving-on-r2718/We laid down on the floor for our last official night. The last night was spent the same as the first - on something other than a real mattress. Full circle. I always told myself I would be done playing if I experienced a long period of time without enjoyment. Passion and heart are what got me to su...2718Sat, 07 Jun 2014 19:49:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/minnesota-twins-day-3-draft-picks-rounds-11-40-r2728/On Day 1, the Minnesota Twins used their first round draft pick on prep shortstop Nick Gordon. They followed that by selecting flame-throwing Louisville closer Nick Burdi with their second round pick. On Day 2, the Twins made eight selections and seven of their were pitchers. All eight came from the...2728Sat, 07 Jun 2014 12:38:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/minnesota-twins-minor-league-report-66-vargas-for-victory-r2715/I think the theme of the Minnesota Twins draft day two is, “You can never have enough pitching.” The team made eight picks and seven of them were college pitchers. On the field, the Minnesota Twins and Houston Astros began a three-game series with a rain delay. The young, talented Astros showed some...2715Sat, 07 Jun 2014 03:18:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-report-65-gilmartin-shines-again-r2714/The Twins took an early four-run lead courtesy of an Oswaldo Arcia grand slam that nearly landed in the Target Field Plaza OUTSIDE of Gate 34. Unfortunately the home team, dressed handsomely in powder blue throwback uniforms, could not hold the lead as Correia and the bullpen let the lead slip away...2714Fri, 06 Jun 2014 11:10:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-select-nick-burdi-in-the-2nd-round-r2726/With their 2nd round pick, 46th overall, the Twins selected someone they had drafted before. They drafted RHP Nick Burdi, a relief pitcher from Louisville that they selected in the 24th round in the 2011 draft out of high school. They couldn't convince him to sign then, but he should certainly sign...2726Fri, 06 Jun 2014 03:12:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/minor-leagues-salary-structure-unfair-r2712/Sponsored by Snyder Gislason Frasier LLC Starting at 6 PM today, hundreds of "kids" (I'm 47.
