While he didn't complete his date with immortality, it was the closest I've ever come to seeing a Major League no-hitter in person. On Wed...2004Thu, 29 Aug 2013 13:32:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/five-overlooked-twins-minor-league-hitters-in-2013-r2002/As I'm sitting here on an airplane, I thought it would be cool to write up a blog from like 34,000 feet. Yes, I paid for the wireless, but I don't care. After 90 minute delay in Hartford, we landed in Philadelphia about 15 minutes before the "On Time" flight was to take off for Minneapolis. We immed...2002Thu, 29 Aug 2013 01:03:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/kernels-profile-pitcher-hudson-boyd-r2000/One of the unique things about Class A minor league baseball is that the season is divided in to two halves. The format allows teams, such as the Kernels, who had strong first halves of the season to qualify for postseason play at the mid-point of the season. It also gives teams that struggle e...2000Wed, 28 Aug 2013 11:33:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-report-827-colabello-named-il-mvp-r1999/Chris Colabello's time in the major leagues this year hasn't been spectacular but he has been outstanding in his time in the minors. On Wednesday, the Minnesota Twins backup first baseman was named the Most Valuable Player and the Rookie of the Year for the International League.

In other baseball news, it was announced that Matt Harvey of the Mets has a partially torn UCL. He's getting the dreaded "rest and recovery" treatment many Twins fans are too familiar with. It's an unfortunate development for one of the best young arms in the game today.

He tweeted "I'm still waiting for the Twins organization to hand Miguel Sano a first baseman's mitt." We exchanged a few respectful replies - this definitely wasn't a Twitter argument or war -- but...1990Sun, 25 Aug 2013 16:44:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/interview-with-red-wings-centerfielder-aaron-hicks-r1988/Entering his sixth professional season, Aaron Hicks has been one of the biggest prospects in the Minnesota Twins system for the past five years.

There are the independent league stories of Chris Colabello, Caleb Thielbar, and Andrew Albers. There is Doug Bernier, a 33-year-old shortstop who is back in the big leagues five years after two previous big le...1987Sun, 25 Aug 2013 04:44:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/putting-sanos-power-in-perspective-r1985/Since 2006, 851 players have logged at least 200 PAs in the Florida State League (High A).

Four starting pitchers provided Quality Starts for their teams. Strange for the Twins organization, one of them even had double-digit strikeouts, if you can believe that. Ten Twins minor leaguers had at least three hits on this day as well....1984Sat, 24 Aug 2013 04:59:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-report-822-playoff-races-heat-up-r1982/Because they clinched playoff berths in the first half, Cedar Rapids and Ft.
