It was nice to see Joe Mauer get a hit last night, and interesting to see him play first base. It's tough to be too positive about the Twins right now. Sure, Josh Willingham, Ben Revere and Scott Diam...631Thu, 12 Jul 2012 11:04:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/kyle-gibson-makes-first-rehab-start-r627/A ground ball to the shortstop for the first out. A walk. A ground ball to second base which was turned into an inning-ending double play. That may not seem like much to get overly excited about, but for Twins fans, it was a good day! For the first time since he was placed on the Disabled List...627Tue, 10 Jul 2012 19:28:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/monday-in-the-minors-r624/Twins players scattered all over the place to enjoy their All Star breaks. Joe Mauer is the team’s lone representative in tonight’s All-Star game. On Monday night, it was the Tigers’ Prince Fielder who out-slugged Blue Jays’ Jose Bautista to win his second Home Run Derby. The Rochester Red Wings als...624Tue, 10 Jul 2012 05:33:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/weekend-in-the-minors-r621/The Twins had two, touch, extra inning losses on Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday night, it was Nelson Cruz that provided the game-winning hit. On Sunday night, it was Ian Kinsler. Sam Deduno had a very wild, but effective, Twins debut on Friday night. Cole De Vries was terrific, throwing seven scor...621Mon, 09 Jul 2012 05:53:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/friday-night-minor-league-lights-r617/Francisco Liriano did a tremendous job on Friday night of building his trade value. The lefty gave up just one run in 6.2 innings against baseball’s best offense. Jared Burton got four outs quickly. The Twins got enough offense, as well as some help from the Rangers defense, to put up five runs. Joe...617Sat, 07 Jul 2012 17:11:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/thursdays-minor-league-round-up-r615/The Twins bats started off hot today and the team got another excellent performance from Scott Diamond. Gardenhire curiously gave the 8th inning to Alex Burnett, who allowed a hit and a walk before being relieved by Tyler Robertson who promptly served up a 3-run meatball to Prince Fielder. Anthony S...615Fri, 06 Jul 2012 03:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/fourth-of-july-in-the-minors-r613/Twins Daily hopes that you and your families and friends had a fun and safe Fourth of July holiday.

The starters were not too terribly impressive, but there were a lot of tremendous bullpen performances in June. So today, let’s take a look at which Twins minor league hitters had the...609Wed, 04 Jul 2012 15:08:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/tuesdays-trip-through-the-minors-r607/A rain delay in Detroit held up the start of the Twins game for an hour and a half.

It was clearly not a strong part of the organization during the month. One area where the Twins minor league system was very strong was in the bullpen. There were plenty of very strong candidates. It was difficult to rank the rel...605Tue, 03 Jul 2012 18:23:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/monday-night-in-the-minors-r603/Liam Hendriks was again unable to pick up his first career win. Despite being given a five run lead going into the bottom of the 5th against the Tigers, he was unable to get an out. However, the Twins bullpen did what they’ve done all year. Anthony Swarzak came in and maintained the lead. Alex Burne...603Tue, 03 Jul 2012 10:36:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-starting-pitcher-of-the-month-june-r602/As the Fourth of July is approaching, I have found myself asking several people, “What happened to June?
