The team has played all right -- about what I expected, given the difficulty of replacing guys like Aaron Hicks, Chris Herrmann, Oswaldo Arcia and Chris Colabello, who were the mainstays of the 2012 team, and who have all gone on to varying degr...1603Thu, 06 Jun 2013 02:06:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-hitter-of-the-month-may-r1601/In the past couple days, as we are leading up to an exciting draft for the Minnesota Twins, we are also looking back at the top performers in the Twins' farm system for May.

Most years, I would glance at a few writers focusing on who the Twins might draft in the first round, but the draft itself held little interest for me. I suppose, like many people, it seemed tha...1593Wed, 05 Jun 2013 00:52:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-mlb-draft-profile-minnesotans-to-watch-r1591/Over the past couple weeks here at Twins Daily, we have been profiling a player each day who may be available when the Minnesota Twins make their first round draft selection on Thursday night, the fourth overall pick.
