But even with Mauer out of the line-up, the Twins were able to come away with a win and avoid being swept by the Detroit Tigers. Scott Diamond pitched six strong innings, giving up two earned runs and four hits for his second win of...1435Thu, 02 May 2013 02:35:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/kernels-9-game-win-streak-has-had-some-drama-r1433/The Cedar Rapids Kernels have ripped through nine straight wins as they head in to a two week long road trip, but the streak hasn't come without a little drama. Take this past Saturday, for one instance. Most of you have probably already read or heard about the strange finish to that night's 8-7 Ke...1433Wed, 01 May 2013 12:57:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-report-430-amazing-april-in-a-ball-r1431/One month of minor league action is in the books, and for the most part, it has played out better than could have been anticipated. The Minnesota Twins' top prospects are performing very well. As important, several of the second-tier prospects have been able to establish themselves early. The Ft. My...1431Wed, 01 May 2013 04:02:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-report-429-the-bats-are-alive-r1427/The Twins blew a three-run lead thanks to one swing of Prince Fielder's bat and lost another one-run game. (The third time that's happened in the past five days.) Congratulations to Adam Walker, who was named MWL Player of the Week. The Milwaukee native went 8-for-21 (.381) with five home runs and...1427Tue, 30 Apr 2013 03:28:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/q-ampamp-a-with-jd-williams-r1426/Cedar Rapids Kernels outfielder JaDamion (J.D.) Williams is in his fourth season with the Minnesota Twins organization. He was drafted by the Twins in the 10th round of the 2010 amateur draft. After a very productive 2011 season at Rookie League level Elizabethton, where he hit .324, Williams hit on...1426Tue, 30 Apr 2013 03:23:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-report-428-duffey-does-it-again-r1419/It was bound to happen. The four Twins full-season minor league affiliates had all won each of the past three days. That’s a 12-0 record. On Sunday, that streak was broken as only two of the affiliates won. That said, all four games were decided by two runs or fewer. There is some very good baseball...1419Mon, 29 Apr 2013 02:06:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/rochester-red-wings-review-this-is-what-weve-been-waiting-for-r1421/After finishing an eight game home stand at 3-5, the Rochester Red Wings took the short trip east on the New York State Thruway to Syracuse to play the Chiefs (Nationals). Last season the Red Wings won just three games in Syracuse, a total they matched in their first trip to NBT Bank Stadium.

Fortunately, the drama all ended in celebration. (Even for the Minnesota Wild.) The Twins got back to .500 this afternoon after beating the Rangers 7-2. Pedro Hernandez provided a very strong shutout-type effort (5 IP, 5 H, BB, 3 K). The bullpen continued to shine, preserving...1417Sun, 28 Apr 2013 03:11:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/my-love-for-video-games-ootp-14-r1415/When I was younger, my brothers and I loved to play video games. We took a liking to games of all kinds, but especially enjoyed playing baseball games together. Typically we wouldn’t “play” many of the games, we would simulate them. This allowed us to get in a number of seasons in a short amount of...1415Sat, 27 Apr 2013 14:25:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-report-426-walker-powers-kernels-r1414/On Friday night, the Minnesota Twins fell 4-3 to the Texas Rangers. A three-run home run off the bat of Oswaldo Arcia with two out in the bottom of the ninth accounted for all the Twins' scoring. Scott Diamond was immensely hittable and the defense failed to make a couple of plays. However, for the...1414Sat, 27 Apr 2013 05:40:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/the-twins-minors-top-25-42413-r1406/For a few years now, I have been doing a feature, pretty much on a monthly basis, which was called "Who is hot in the Minesota Twins' minors" (you can see last seasons' versions here.)

The success of Adopt-a-Prospect is evident. It provides a place on the internet where minor leaguers can be recognized for their achievement. Last week, 41 Twins minor leaguers were “Adopted” and you can lea...1411Fri, 26 Apr 2013 06:33:00 +0000
