In less than five innings of work, Pavano gave up two home runs including a grand slam. By the time he left the mound,...480Sat, 02 Jun 2012 03:32:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/profiles-of-the-top-22-pitchers-for-the-2012-mlb-draft-bonus-mitch-brown-r479/Originally published at The Tenth Inning Stretch ---- With the Twins having a severe need for pitching in the organization as well as six picks among the top 100, it is certain that more than one of those picks (and probably the second overall pick) will be used to draft a pitcher. To this respect,...479Fri, 01 Jun 2012 18:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-relief-pitcher-of-the-month-may-r477/I posted the Twins Minor League Starting Pitchers of the month a day early, but nothing would have changed with it had I waited a day.

This month, we are going to start with the starting pitching. There were some very solid starting pitchers...475Thu, 31 May 2012 04:01:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/wednesdays-twins-minor-league-daily-r474/Sweet Lord, the Twins swept a series. Josh Willingham, Justin Morneau, Francisco Liriano. Those were all big names going into 2012, and they all had good performances at some point in this series. Bottom line: the Twins won 3 games in a row. Yes, it was against another bad team, and yes, there are s...474Thu, 31 May 2012 03:15:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/minnesota-twins-top-ten-prospects-r471/A week ago, we started to take a look at my Top 50 Twins Prospects. Within the last week, we looked at prospects 11-20, prospects 21-30, prospects 31-40, and prospects 41 through 50.

But on Tuesday evening, DeVries found himself making his home debut in front of a crowd full of family and friends. It can be nerve racking to pitch in front of the home crowd for the first tim...469Wed, 30 May 2012 02:55:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/traveling-in-the-midwest-league-kane-county-r468/It seems like yesterday I was playing for a 12 year old in house championship. Baseball has taken me from the grass backyards of Minnetonka to either coast and a number of places in between. There are moments I will never forget, there are others I would rather forget.

Jason Marquis was not claimed on release waivers – and both Marquis and the Twins declined sending him to Rochester – thus making him a free agent. The Twins will continue to pay the remainder of the $3 million owed to Marquis.
