The 30-And-Under Experiment (Plus Joe And Glen)

It's over, folks. Time to throw in the towel. Again.   As we push past the trade deadline into the final 50-ish games of the season, conventional baseball wisdom would suggest that the younger players should be getting the majority of the plate appearances and innings. I say we throw caution to the wind.   Let's assume, for the sake of argument, that we find new homes for the likes of Willingham, Suzuki, Correia, and even Duensing, and let's also assume, as expected, that Twins Daily is given co

The No Juice Podcast, Episode #15: Big Announcement

On this week's episode of the No Juice Podcast, Dan Anderson and Parker Hageman begin with some big news. Like, really big. Then they talk about the Minnesota Twins which includes the recent trade of Kendrys Morales to the Seattle Mariners, the potential of trading away Kurt Suzuki and the overall status of the team heading towards what is projected to be another disappointing second-half.   Other topics on the show include the Minnesota Vikings training camp, idiotic media responses to domesti

Monday Morning Madness: July 28, 2014

Weekend Recap   Who won the most recent game? Those of us with a healthy recency bias are pretty high on the Twins right now. Everyone else? Not so much.   Logan Darnell...sort of   Congratulations to Darnell for making his first MLB start on Saturday. He got lit up, but it's still a great moment for him. Darnell absolutely deserved this opportunity. He's slowly climbed through the Twins' system since being drafted in the 6th round in 2010. In 2014, he's made 17 AAA starts and has a 3.43 ERA. Wh

Handful Of Twins Not Likely To Be Traded

When a team could be heading for its fourth consecutive 90-loss season, the trade deadline can be a bit of a bummer. The Twins have had the opportunity to deal veteran players over the last couple of seasons but nothing has happened. Minnesota sticks with the players on their roster while not getting anything back for some of their expiring contracts.   Earlier in the week, I took a look at some of the possible trade candidates on the current Twins roster. These players are all veterans and ther

Twins Minor League Report (7/27): Stephen Gonsalves Debuts In Mwl

The Minnesota Twins were able to avoid the brutal 4-game sweep at home courtesy of their fellow AL Central bottom dwellers, the Chicago White Sox, after a Sam Fuld single in the seventh inning gave them just enough of a cushion for the eventual 4-3 victory. Glen Perkins made it interesting in the ninth, but struck out two to pick up his 25th save of the year.   In the minors, a grand slam brought one affiliate a victory, another went into extra innings, and a top pitching prospect made his Midw

Phil Hughes... Hurt

Phil Hughes had a short night on the mound sadly due to an injury. In the top of the fourth inning Chicago White Sox designated hitter Adam Dunn hit a hard ground ball up the middle. Phil Hughes was trying to get out of the way but the ball hit his right shin/ankle. Hughes couldn't finish the play because of the pain and Dunn was safe at first. After walking around the mound for a couple minutes the training staff advised Hughes to come out of the game. Phil Hughes pitched three innings and gave

David Price... Stay or Go?

Throughout the past couple months David Price has had to deal with rumors of being traded. He already told the media about a month go that he didn't like hearing the rumors. He just wanted the Tampa Bay Rays to make up their mind. It's unclear if Price will be dealt because the Rays have less than a week to trade him. David Price is an ace and could be in the talks for Cy Young this year with a 3.08 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, 183 strikeouts, and 11 wins over 163 innings. It's hard to get rid of a pitcher l

Making Minor League Room

I contend that there is no reason to keep certain players who are blocking prospects in the minor league system. I cannot imagine that minor league attendance is really driven by aging players.   From Rochester:   Chris Rahl Eric Farris Doug Bernier Mark Hamburger Aaron Thompson (potential add-on trade bait) Kris Johnson (I know, but the future? potential add-on trade bait)   To Rochester, given these 6 moves:     Kennys Vargas Aaron Hicks Eddie Rosario Ryan O'Rourke Cole Johnson Jim Fuller

The Rest of 2014

In the remainder of the season, I would like to see the following:   1. The Twins trade Kurt Suzuki for a top 150 prospect, Josh Willingham for a top 300 prospect, Casey Fien for a top 500 prospect, Eduardo Escobar for a top 700 prospect, Kevin Correia for a top 1000 prospect, and Brian Duensing for a top 1000 prospect.   2. I would *really* like for the first three of those to happen.   3. Jared Burton gone and Alex Meyer called up to the bullpen.   4. Trevor May called up to start.   5. Josmil

No possible way to win with these coaches...

You can see it in their faces, when the Twins get behind..they quit...   and I believe the reason is that ....The coaches are constantly harrasing them..   By the time a player reaches the major leagues they have had a ton of coaching, when they come up..let them be who they are and see if its good enough.   Did the coaches ruin Aaron Hicks? Maybe..it sure looks like they "coached" him out of the major leagues.   Too many of our players tear up AAA then flounder at Big League..level...   LEA

Dinner with a Moderator

While this isn't "My Dinner with Andre" or "Tuesdays with Morrie", I did have dinner with someone on a Tuesday. During Monday's game thread our very own "scene setter" and moderator Riverbrian noted that he was in Rochester. I work in that fair city and live just over 20 miles away. I contacted Brian when he asked about bakeries, and we agreed to meet for beers and dinner while watching the middle game of the Twins-Indians series.   I really didn't know what to expect.

Episode 93: TC Bear and the T-Shirt Gun

The Twins offense has struggled to score runs recently (what's new?) and Joe Mauer is still working his way back from injury. The scholarship program is over in Minnesota (again) as Matt Guerrier was DFA'd to make

Lewis Thorpe Improving

Over the past year, Lewis Thorpe has exploded on the scene. An unknown commodity heading into the GCL last season, he was so dominant as a 17 year old that he has appeared on various preseason Twins’ top 10 prospect lists. He has made even more news this year, skipping the Appalachian league and going straight to A ball from extended spring training. However, the Midwest league has not been kind to Thorpe, who has posted a 5.40 ERA with a 31:15 k:bb ratio in 35 innings over 8 GS. Despite these s
