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 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 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-leaguers-report-today-r2381/Major League spring training has been running for two weeks now.

But the left-handed reliever's stats showed a change. Last year, Hoffman struck out 35 batters in 35 innings. He had never come close to that rate previously. He thinks...2378Mon, 03 Mar 2014 03:21:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/learning-from-my-new-friends-r2376/I walked outside to grab the mail and a little girl came whizzing by on a bike. She stopped when she saw me. I knelt down and introduced myself, "I'm AJ," I shook her hand. "Hi, I'm Olivia," she responded. She told me she was 6 years old, later I met her twin 4 year old siblings, Alexis and Ray.

Honestly, I haven't even read much lately. Not about baseball, anyway. There just isn't much going on that I'm particularly interested in. Sure, spring training has started, but they haven't even started playing spring training games, yet, so there just isn't much goin...2363Tue, 25 Feb 2014 06:23:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/qampampa-with-stephen-gonsalves-r2351/2351Thu, 20 Feb 2014 12:17:00 +0000
