I may be in the minority, but I think I get as excited, if not more so, about minor league opening day as the big league version. For me, instead of just watching the Minnesota Twins games, I can now follow as...2471Thu, 03 Apr 2014 06:24:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/meeting-the-2014-cedar-rapids-kernels-r2469/It was "Meet the Kernels Night" at Veterans Mermorial Stadium in Cedar Rapids Tuesday night, giving local fans and media a first look at the 2014 version of the Twins' Class A Midwest League affiliate and giving the Kernels players their first look at chilly Iowa April temperatures. After the media...2469Thu, 03 Apr 2014 02:27:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/rochester-red-wings-season-preview-r2466/Calling the 2013 Rochester Red Wings season a roller coaster ride would be considered a drastic understatement. Rochester started off the year at 2-11, finished the season 77-67, clinched a wild card birth and made their first playoff appearance in seven years. This year's team is completely differe...2466Wed, 02 Apr 2014 00:24:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-opening-day-rosters-r2462/Opening Day in the big leagues is a big deal. I might even agree with those who say it should be a national holiday. As important to about 100 minor leaguers is minor league Opening Day which will be on Thursday. Minor leaguers reported to Ft. Myers on March 7 and after four days of practice, they’v...2462Tue, 01 Apr 2014 17:12:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/sign-up-for-adopt-a-prospect-2014-here-r2461/Adopt-A-Prospect 2014 will start right here... at 9:00 a.m. CST. Again, to adopt a Twins prospect, just put their name in the forum. If no one has already adopted that player, he's yours. As a reminder, on Wednesday at 9:00 a.m. CST, Twins Daily members can adopt a second player. A note will be made...2461Tue, 01 Apr 2014 13:50:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/a-game-of-stories-r2459/Seth recently wrote about his baseball background, so in the same spirit, I wanted to share a story of my own. We headed over to the field for some groundballs. Three young men trotted out after us, donning fresh spikes and jerseys without names on the back. When they joined me at SS, I thought it a...2459Tue, 01 Apr 2014 01:06:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/2014-adopt-a-prospect-starts-tuesday-at-9-ct-r2460/As we have done here at Twins Daily the last two years, we will be hosting a Twins minor league Adopt-A-Prospect. With a couple alterations, the rules should make for more information shared about more of the minor league teams throughout the farm system. Starting at 9:00 Central Time on Tuesday (A...2460Tue, 01 Apr 2014 00:28:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/kernels-roster-taking-shape-r2448/There was no rain in Fort Myers on Wednesday. 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 +0000
