Will the Twins trade Francisco Liriano? Denard Span? It's curious, but understandable, that they're listening on Josh Willingham. Make no mistake -- just two weeks from now, this team could, and probably will, look quite...657Thu, 19 Jul 2012 04:15:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/tuesdays-trip-through-the-minors-r655/After an offensive explosion on Monday night, the Twins made things a little bit more interesting on Tuesday when they didn't take their first lead in the game until the seventh inning. This comeback was spurred on by four two out hits with Ben Revere and Joe Mauer knocking in the runs to make the d...655Wed, 18 Jul 2012 06:16:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/review-of-ballplayer-pelotero-r651/On Sunday, one of the directors of the documentary Ballplayer: Pelotero came to the Twins Daily forums and after letting us know where the movie could be viewed, answered several questions from readers. I’ve read so much about the film, watched trailers and eagerly anticipated being able to see it....651Tue, 17 Jul 2012 12:14:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/monday-in-the-minors-r649/The Twins had a rough weekend series with the A’s, so on Monday night they picked on another vowel, the O’s. The Twins scored seven runs in the first inning and kept on adding on their way to a 19-7 win over Baltimore. Scott Diamond wasn’t in finest form after a ten day break since his last start, b...649Tue, 17 Jul 2012 03:56:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/hicks-following-the-path-laid-by-hunter-span-r648/http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hEnUEQv6SHU/UAOQotUCM9I/AAAAAAAACyU/nBWJzKxqgXU/s320/SwingSun.jpeg Since the Twins took Aaron Hicks with their first round pick in the 2008 MLB Draft, there has been plenty of talk about the athletic outfielder fitting into the future plans of the Twins organization. Hicks...648Mon, 16 Jul 2012 15:39:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/sundays-minor-league-round-up-r645/The Twins were beaten up pretty soundly by the juggernaut that is the Oakland Athletics. We should have known we were going to be in for a rough weekend when the Twins couldn’t squeeze a win out of their best pitching performance in almost five years. (It was nice to know you, Frankie.) Personally...645Mon, 16 Jul 2012 06:17:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/saturday-in-the-minor-league-parks-r640/The Twins lost 9-3 to the A’s on Saturday night. It was a bad games for the Twins right from the start. Cole De Vries gave up four runs in the first innings, the big blast was a three-run homer off the bat of Chris Carter. The A’s hit three more homers in the game. The Twins rang the bases really po...640Sun, 15 Jul 2012 07:15:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/friday-night-minor-league-nights-r638/Francisco Liriano struck out 15 batters in eight innings for the Twins on Friday night, and he got a loss. The talented left-hander was pitching with his form from 2006. Unfortunately, he also had the fourth inning. It started with a single by Jemile Weeks. One out later, Denard Span dropped a fly b...638Sat, 14 Jul 2012 13:05:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/thursdays-minor-league-round-up-r634/Another slow day around baseball. The Twins activated RP Matt Capps and optioned Kyle Waldrop back to Rochester. The Wings currently have six pitchers on the disabled list, so getting another arm is probably pretty welcome. The Twins reached agreements with 23rd round pick P Travis Huber from Ne...634Fri, 13 Jul 2012 04:35:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/wednesdays-twins-minor-league-daily-r631/Here we are, probably the most boring couple days during the baseball season -- the All-Star break. 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.
