Twins and Misc 2016 Projections
My projected opening day lineup and what I wish it was, left and right respectively: CF – Buxton 2B – Dozier 2B – Dozier […]
Twins Pre Spring Preview
Back again and not for the last time. Now that football is done, a ton of eyes have just turned towards the upcoming baseball season. 2 weeks out from the first of the “boys of summer” reporting to their spring homes. The beginning of the position battles, fan battles over projections, the studying of draft […]
For the Twins: A New Year, but the Same Outlook
The Minnesota Twins made some acquisitions but little has really changed in the organization. Terry Ryan decided to go buy some pitching and bring back some long lost teammates. Since when do we go out and buy pitchers, the thought has always been, we have better stuff in our prospects than we can get on […]
Twins’ Time to Call Somebody
Call someone in to fix this mess. Call a few people and let them know that they need to start looking for new employers at the end of the season. Call in some grief counselors for the fans of this “team”. The Twins are beyond just being in trouble, this is another season that is […]
The Twins: Better than before…
Well the baseball season is a month old and it is time to take a moment and start evaluating. As the title says the Twins are in a better position than they were this time last year. Last year on May 2nd, they were 6-18 and the desperation in the fans was already apparent. This […]
Outlook on the Twins after Opening Day 2013
As Opening Day 2013 is wrapping up, I am going to give my impressions on the Twins. First off, they did lose to the Tigers to start the season on the wrong foot, but it wasn’t all bad. I am going to look through the lineup and the pitching to give my impressions. Opening Day Lineup Hicks […]
Steve Carlton
Hey baseball fans! I recently thought to myself: “Who was the best pitcher ever on the worst team?” I didn’t want to write something about Walter Johnson, because his name regularly appears in my articles, so I decided to go with the next best person: Steve Carlton. Steve Carlton was a very tough competitor, which is why […]
Twins’ Rotation Filling Up
Alright Minnesota Twins fans, general manager Terry Ryan has been doing some work over the last couple of weeks and here are his results: two starting pitchers who had a combined three starts last year. Mike Pelfrey is the pitcher who I still believe should have been the cornerstone of the Johan Santana deal, but […]
SABR 42: Right on Target
This article was written by Jeff Polman and was originally posted here on Huff Post Sports. The conventioneer was in his 60s, wearing a ball cap, glasses and trim little white beard. Like me, he was at the Marriott City Center in Minneapolis last week to attend the yearly gathering of SABR, the Society for American Baseball […]
Reflections On The Twins: From Bad To Worse
I am going to drop some numbers on you today to expand your understanding of how bad this team is right now. .250, that is the winning percentage of the Twins, which is tied for the 5th worst all time and the worst in the modern 162 game season. 40, games that they are projected […]
How the Twins look at the start of Spring Training 2012
Spring Training is in full affect and the “bugs” are already taking nest. The biggest news in Twins baseball since February started was this last weekend when the fireballer Joel Zumaya was lost for the season with a ulnar collateral ligament tear. Now this is not saying that Minnesota will repeat the horrors of […]
For the Twins It’s Now “Next Season”

Darnell McDonald is Ready for Action with the Red Sox
In Monday’s Red Sox / Orioles game, Darnell McDonald kicked off the Red Sox ninth inning rally with a double. It brought the crowd to their feet as they appreciated what Darnell does for this team. He came into the game as a substitute and delivered when his name was called. The […]
2010 Projections: Can Twins’ Delmon Young Live Up to His 25-30 HR Potential?
One of the most hyped prospects in recent memory, Delmon Young has yet to fulfill his lofty expectations. From a bat-tossing incident which lead to a 50-game minor league suspension in 2006, to criticizing the Rays’ upper management and refusing to take coach’s instructions, Young’s character has always been in question. Twins’ manager Ron Gardenhire attributes Young […]
Minnesota Twins Season Preview
Image via Wikipedia 1) How was the off-season? What kind of grade would you give it? For the Twins, the 2009 offseason was one of the best in recent history. After the (unfortunate) early exit from the postseason to end the 2009 season, the Twins had several clear and pressing needs. The most notable and […]
