On any given night. You just never know. Teams need stars to play well over the course of a season to be successful. But on any given night, anyone can step up when you least expect it and help you to a win. On Monday night, Samuel Deduno was wild as ever, but he...759Tue, 14 Aug 2012 03:11:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/arcia-hicks-might-have-earned-a-look-r756/http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-phUKBdlfscc/UChmJR7CrSI/AAAAAAAADH0/o2k7nbhMiWo/s320/HicksArcia.jpgWhile the 2012 season has been a little bit painful at the big league level, there have been plenty of positive stories out of the minor leagues for the Twins. Miguel Sano, the player widely considered as th...756Mon, 13 Aug 2012 13:57:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/sunday-minor-league-game-notes-r755/Well, Desmond Jennings didn’t get a double on the first pitch in Sunday’s game as he had Friday and Saturday nights. However, on a 1-2 pitch, he hit a home run off of Scott Diamond. Diamond threw yet another Quality Start, but unfortunately, it wasn’t enough and the Twins lost 6-3 thanks to a late r...755Mon, 13 Aug 2012 03:14:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-leader-board-pitchers-r753/Earlier today, I posted the Twins Minor League Leader Board for the hitters. Now comes the leader board among Twins minor league pitchers. Pitchers are more difficult to compare against each other. Comparing starting pitchers with relievers is really difficult. So, what I've done is set two limits f...753Sun, 12 Aug 2012 21:47:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/minnesota-twins-minor-league-leaderboard-r752/As we get closer to the end of the minor league seasons, I thought it would be interesting to take a look at the leaders in many statistical categories. Throughout the season, Twins Daily has posted daily minor league reports. Within those, some names certainly tend to find their way into the report...752Sun, 12 Aug 2012 16:41:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/notes-from-day-4-in-beloit-r751/I mentioned when I wrote my Notes from Day 3 in Beloit that due to travel, returning to work and some other things, I may not get to Notes from Day 4 for a bit. I really didn’t want it to take almost a week. However, it has. That said, I still feel compelled to write more about my trip to Beloit bec...751Sun, 12 Aug 2012 05:40:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/saturday-in-the-minor-league-parks-r750/Three batters into the game, Nick Blackburn had given up two mammoth home runs and the Twins were down 3-0. He actually settled down nicely after that, giving up just one more run (a second long BJ Upton home run) and working into the 7th inning. The bullpen did a nice job and kept the Rays at four...750Sun, 12 Aug 2012 03:56:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/friday-night-minor-league-lights-r748/The Twins lost 12-6 to the Tampa Bay Rays. It was not a pretty game. Sure, Joe Mauer had three hits, and Ryan Doumit had a home run, but that was not a pretty game. Down 8-1 after an inning and a half makes for a long game. At least we have plenty of positives throughout the Twins farm system, so le...748Sat, 11 Aug 2012 04:41:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/thursdays-minor-league-round-up-r745/It was a quiet day in Twins World. No roster moves. Minimal injury (recover) news. But, as it is, no news is better than bad news. The Red Wings activated Anthony Slama before their game and intentionally didn’t pitch him, just to irritate the #FreeAnthonySlama crowd. If you're interested in chec...745Fri, 10 Aug 2012 04:12:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-awards-july-r741/As I was beginning my trek to Beloit last week, I realized that it was already into August. I have no idea where the entire month of July went, but it was already time to present awards for the minor league hitter, starting pitcher and relief pitcher of the month. To keep things brief, this is a lit...741Thu, 09 Aug 2012 05:09:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/wednesdays-twins-minor-league-daily-r740/Today's Twins game was disappointing on several fronts. The Twins lost a chance for a sweep, Ben Revere failed to extend his impressive hit streak, and Tsuyoshi Nishioka continued to look ... confused at second base. Oh well. Let's take a look at the action down on the farm. ROCHESTER 3, SCRANTON/WB...740Thu, 09 Aug 2012 04:12:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/tuesday-night-twins-minor-league-report-r738/It was a big night for offense through most of the Twins farm system, but there were also some great pitching performances (seel below). Down 5-1 going through six innings, the Twins collected three unearned runs in the seventh inning. Cleveland’s All-Star closer Chris Perez came on and gave up thr...738Wed, 08 Aug 2012 17:16:00 +0000
