Formerly one of baseball’s top prospects (12-13 years ago), Williams has been si...377Wed, 02 May 2012 04:31:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/the-diary-of-a-snapper-off-day-r376/Baseball dominates a lot of our time in Beloit, so when we have a day off, we are left without an idea of what to do. An early game yesterday followed by an off day left me with loads of free time, but no clue how to fill it. What could I do to fill a day without baseball? I woke up early to help Jh...376Wed, 02 May 2012 03:06:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-starting-pitcher-of-the-month-april-r372/Last night, I posted my choice for the Twins minor league relief pitcher of the month, Deolis Guerra. I also mentioned five other bullpen guys that deserved recognition for their strong starts. This morning, I’ll post my choice for the Twins minor league start pitcher for April. There were some pret...372Tue, 01 May 2012 13:31:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/twins-minor-league-relief-pitcher-of-the-month-april-r371/Each month here at Twins Daily, we will be posting choices for Twins minor league relief pitcher, starting pitcher and hitter of the month. First, I want to share with you some of the top relief pitchers in the Twins minor league system in the month of April. I'll follow up over the next 24 hours wi...371Tue, 01 May 2012 02:53:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/mondays-minor-league-round-up-r370/The Twins are taking a trip to the west coast to play the hapless Angels. Joe Mauer is getting a day off to rest his knee, which he fouled a ball off of yesterday. Today will be Mauer’s first day off this season. Yes, you read that right. One additional note: If you thought “Promotion Weekend” ha...370Tue, 01 May 2012 02:43:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/back-to-beloithousing-in-the-midwest-r368/After spring training I was relieved to know that I made a roster and was heading to Beloit, WI to play for the Snappers. Spring training is always a grind and it was tough to see some guys get cut. That is the part of the game that is the "business" and it is always in the back of your head that to...368Mon, 30 Apr 2012 02:48:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/sunday-minor-league-daily-r364/The Twins actually won a game today. It's tough to complain about too much from today's Twins performance. Jason Marquis earned the win, and picked up the 4th Twins quality start along the way. The Twins scored 4 runs in the first, 2 runs in the third and 1 in the seventh, on their way to a 7-4 vict...364Sun, 29 Apr 2012 22:23:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/saturday-night-minor-league-lights-r363/"You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball.

The Twins had plenty of runners on base again but didn’t get enough to score. There was the occasional good pitch, good (or umpire-assisted) defensive plays and some bad luck. Carl Pavano just didn’t have it, and the bullpen and...362Sat, 28 Apr 2012 03:24:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/thursday-night-minor-league-lights-r358/The Twins had a much-needed day off on Thursday. Players were able to stay at home (or in their hotel room, or wherever they’re staying), and get some things done… hopefully that included getting some rest. The team will start a series against the Royals at home on Friday night. Hopefully the Twins...358Fri, 27 Apr 2012 02:33:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/twins-minor-league/wednesday-night-twins-minor-league-game-notes-r354/The Twins and Red Sox are battling in a suddenly-close game in the late innings of the final game of what has been an immensely frustrating series for the Twins and their fans.

Nick Blackburn was crushed. Matt Maloney was crushed. The offense didn’t come through. There was even some bad defense. Its’ a good thing that there are plenty of positive things going on in the Twins farm system to g...351Wed, 25 Apr 2012 06:04:00 +0000
