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 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/monday-in-the-minors-r733/A ten run second inning was more than enough run support for Scott Diamond who won for the 10th time this season. The left-hander worked the first seven innings and gave up three runs (2 earned). Jeff Gray and Luis Perdomo each threw a scoreless inning. It was the offense in this game. In that ten-...733Tue, 07 Aug 2012 06:12:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/byron-buxton-jose-berrios-promoted-to-elizabethton-r731/In a move that is rather surprising, Twins Daily has learned the 2012 first-round draft pick Byron Buxton and supplemental first-round pick Jose (J.O.) Berrios have been promoted to short-season Elizabethton. Buxton, an 18-year-old outfielder from rural Georgia, was the #2 overall pick in this June...731Tue, 07 Aug 2012 03:53:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/sundays-minor-league-round-up-r728/Sunday was an interesting day in the world of Twins baseball. The Twins had a chance to complete a 4-game sweep in Fenway Park. Josh Willingham and Ryan Doumit both homered in the ninth to make it interesting, but the rally fell short. At one point early in the game I overheard Dick Bremer announce...728Mon, 06 Aug 2012 12:39:00 +0000
