But the fun part of following the farm system, for me at least, is that there is n...1930Wed, 07 Aug 2013 05:45:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/the-miguel-sano-quandary-r1927/If I told you that there was a Twins prospect at AA New Britain batting .243, you probably wouldn't blink an eye. If I told you he had some pop in his bat, and a good arm from the left side of the infield, maybe you'd express mild interest. But if I told you that the prospect was Miguel Sano, and th...1927Wed, 07 Aug 2013 02:58:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-report-85-dean-dazzles-r1921/Today's baseball news was focused primarily on 12 players who received 50-game PED suspensions and one other who received a 211-game suspension and has decided to appeal. I haven't turned on ESPN, but I'm sure you could get a more in-depth run-down on these 13 players within 30 seconds on turning it...1921Tue, 06 Aug 2013 05:34:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-report-84-licon-delivers-walk-off-win-for-kernels-r1913/Miguel Sano did not play for the third straight game due to a tight hamstring. The Twins announced they expect 2013 top pick Kohl Stewart to pitch in about 8-10 days; Stewart was placed on the DL August 2 with a cut on his foot. On the other hand, Byron Buxton returned to the Ft. Myers lineup after...1913Mon, 05 Aug 2013 01:06:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-relief-pitcher-of-the-month-july-r1912/In recent days, we posted the choices for Minnesota Twins Minor League Starting Pitchers and Hitters for the month of July. Today, I present the top relief pitching performers for the month.

A 29-year-old from Marshalltown, Iowa, who was drafted by the Minnesota Twins eleven years ago got to play hero... twice. Another minor league free agent signing helped lead the New Brit...1911Sun, 04 Aug 2013 04:31:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-report-82-friday-night-lights-r1908/Friday was a busy day in the Twins organization. Aside from the big league club needing 13 innings to score a win, there were seven minor league games on the day. Miguel Sano was out of the New Britain lineup again, but a source informed me that he had a tight hamstring. Also, Byron Buxton was out o...1908Sat, 03 Aug 2013 08:18:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-hitters-of-the-month-july-r1906/After looking at the top starting pitchers in the Minnesota Twins system in July, today we turn our attention to the hitters (and tomorrow, we’ll discuss the top relievers for the month).
