    "Willy-nilly" is a highly underutilized phrase.

    Congratulations Minnesota Twins! Our 3rd graders are taking a field trip to Target Field on May 12 to learn about their sustainability...can't wait.

    Love this kid and his nasty stuff. Saw him pitch for Cedar Rapids and he looked amazing (a man among boys.) Looks like he's more consistent with his control now, that pops up from time to time.

    Unfortunately for the Minnesota Twins, that ship has already sailed. I cancelled my partial season ticket 20 game package after 16 seasons. I will used some of my Kwik Trip points to get some free upper deck tickets and then sit somewhere down on the first level for a handful of games is the plan so far for this season.

    A promising start to the season for Marek Houston, I hope he can continue to make adjustments, find consistency, and continue to make progress.

    I look at this situation two possible ways after Royce Lewis returns to the Twins next week. If Outman stays and someone else gets DFAed or sent down, then it's pretty much business as usual for the Minnesota Twins. If Outman is indeed "out man" and released with Tom Pohlad in charge, then I see this as a refreshing change of pace in using their roster.

    The Minnesota Twins starting pitching has been a "most pleasant" surprise at this point in the season.
  8. nclahammer
    Extremely thorough report. I guess that's all that's "left" to say about that subject.

    Another very thorough report on the prospects down on the farm. I like how in the prospect summary, you also list where they were int he batting order. A nice little added detail...thank you.

    One of the many reasons I love road-tripping to Cedar Rapids every year is to get to see the Minnesota Twins up and coming prospects. If you have never been down there, the stadium is very nice, the players accessible, and after Sunday games the players sign free autographs down on the field. I have been a fan of Andrew Morris since the Twins drafted him, he helped pitch the Kernels to the Midwest League Championship in 2023. Best of luck Andrew Morris! Go get em' kid.

    Eventually he will live up to his name...and be out...man?
  12. nclahammer
    Likes Jeffers from the day they drafted him. Been watching him in person since his days in Cedar Rapids and the kid just keeps working and getting better. The Twins need to extend him ASAP.
  13. nclahammer
    Just guessing here, but Tanner Schobel is probably the first position player by Twins Daily to be named Pitcher of the Day?
  14. nclahammer
    Way to hit the cut off man Saints and get the runner at third. Good fundamental baseball and it drives me crazy when it doesn't happen in the pros.

    Ahhhhh...so good to see TD's minor league reports back, the best in the business. Always fun to hear in detail about these kids who are going to be knocking on the door to the majors real soon.

    Nice write up Nate, hopefully a change of philosophy for the better. One quick note, the link to the outfielder prospects should include Gabriel Gonazalez https://www.milb.com/player/gabriel-gonzalez-694224, instead of Carlos Gonzalez. The kid really surprised me last season compared to his first in the Twins organization and I wish him the best of luck this season. He could be knocking on the door to Target Field too this season.

    Five decades for me and ditto with the apathy. Season ticket holden since 2010 who did not renew this year, Right now not a lot of faith or trust with the organization. 70 wins will be a challenge this year.
  18. nclahammer
    Thank you! So good to have the best Minnesota Twins coverage more easily at my fingertips.
  19. nclahammer
    Nice article Cody, but Minor League Player of the Year for Marek Houston? As much as he thrived at the plate in Fort Myers in Low A ball, he struggled in Cedar Rapids at High A (albeit in small sample sizes.) I saw him play in Iowa last season, and Marek "Houston, we have a problem" when it came to hitting. The glove is legit, but the days of having a Mark Belanger full time in your line-up are a thing of the past. I hope the bat comes along for Marek Houston, but right now that's a huge "if."

    The sustained Walker Jenkins hype has never been backed up by sustained performance on the field. This may be a nominee for KFAN's most preposterous statement of the year. I just don't see this happening, as much as I would love to be wrong about it.
  21. nclahammer
    An extension is a very interesting point of view that was not on my radar. I like the out of the box thinking, although this year could be (more) brutal and tough to watch without him.
  22. nclahammer
    Not one mention of Kyle Debarge winning a gold glove last year in Cedar Rapids? Come on Twins Daily, he's one of the best defenders in the entire organization. Y'all dropped the ball on that one.
  23. nclahammer
    Nice article, I would strongly disagree that Marek Houston will make his MLB debut in 2026 after seeing him play in Cedar Rapids last season. His bat is not close to being ready, yet, he struggled mightily in High A. I think AAA by the end of the year could even be a stretch.

    As a lifelong Minnesota Twins fan, my level of fandom has taken a hit. For the first time in decades I am not a Twins season ticket holder. The cost for my cheapest seats in the ballpark has more than doubled since 2010 and the perks season ticket holders used to receive has diminished. I'm not even wearing my Minnesota Twins jackets or hats this winter, I bought a new coat and just have no desire to wear the team gear right now. I'm still checking out Twins Daily,...well daily,,,and following their news and moves, but something just feels different this off season. Tom Pohlad has a lot of work to do.

    If I'm reading the tea leaves correctly, drafting Susac and immediately trading him means that the Twins are putting their chips in on Ryan Jeffers as their starting catcher and will sign him to an extension.
