St. Peter's Comments re: Possible Twins Affiliate in St. Paul

Charley Walters of the Pioneer Press posted a column (click here) with a number of quotes from Twins president Dave St. Peter concerning the possibility of the Twins locating a minor league affiliate in St. Paul, now that the city has funding assured to move forward with building their new stadium. The stadium is being built to Class A standards (which basically deal with things like clubhouse and training facilities and a certain minimum seating capacity).   St. Peter's quotes and summary:   1

Knowing your Limitations - Lessons from Alfred Adler

It is common in human nature to be prideful and to want to demonstrate one's abilities. When a person learns a skill, they want to demonstrate that they have that skill. Just look inside any college dorm, and see which dudes learned how to play guitar. It is also very normal for humans to overestimate their abilities to perform certain skills. Often, we can only compare our level of ability to those around us. If those around us cannot play guitar, our skills look better by comparison.   O

What Could Morneau Do With a Healthy 2013?

Hey all, I want to see what Justin Morneau can do with a healthy first half of 2013. His stats are notoriously strong over the first half of a season, and tend to taper off after the All-Star break.   Consider his last three "healthy" seasons, and and his five "full" seasons: 1st Half ....................... 2nd Half 2009: .311/.390/.575 .201/.310/.402 2008: .323/.391/.512 .267/.350/.481 2007: .295/.364/.581

What's hindering Hendriks?

The befuddlement continues as Hendriks’ winless streak now reaches 17 starts and counting.   Dating back to beginning of 2011, Hendriks has put up two stellar seasons in the minor leagues, posting a 2.86 ERA with a 193/49 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 245.2 innings split between New Britain and Rochester. In 2011, the Twins named him their Minor League Pitcher of the Year. Based on those figures and accolades, expectations were high for him.   Naturally, that has not quite panned out so far at the

Upcoming Important Dates

Originally posted at k-bro's baseball blog   There are less than two weeks left in baseball's regular season, and with the Twins slogging through these last few games, there's nothing much for Twins fans to do but find other teams to root for and look forward to the off-season with hope of great improvement for 2013.     September 12, 2012 -- MLB 2013 Schedules Released (ok, this one isn't upcoming, but it's still important) What it means: Next season, the Astros will be joining the Americ

Micro Post - Walk-Offs

So, Denard Span just hit a walk-off single to win a pretty exciting game. Walk-offs are always fun, but I am very over the "beat the crap out of the game-winning hitter celebration." First off, Span has had concussion issues and just had a shoulder problem. Seems like hitting him on the head and tugging at his body isn't the smart move. Second, it is played out. The water jug/pie-in-face thing is played out too. Is this the real reason Drew Butera is on the team? Does he have the water ju

Charisma and the Mauer Backlash

If you haven't read the recent entry from Jon Marthaler regarding Joe Mauer's image status among Minnesotans, you should. Just as you should probably read everything from Jon Marthaler.   There seems to be at least two major schools of thought on Mauer these days: 1) He's not a leader, isn't tough, doesn't want to win bad enough, and doesn't perform up to the level of his contract (Note: this opinion doesn't seem to be as pervasive on Twins Daily as certain forums and comment sections elsewher

Addiction

Note: The following entry is not in any way meant to mock or make light of those with real addictions. I know all too well the struggles that are associated with addictions of all types, and the effect it can have on lives. Please read this in the humorous spirit in which it is meant.   It is mid-September. The Twins are twenty-four games under .500, getting their clocks cleaned 9-1 by Kansas City last night. It is raining and dreary out. So what is the highlight of my day? The release of the 20

Fitting 7 players into 6 positions

With the emergence of Chris Parmelee as a Major League quality hitter, someone recently commented that the Twins could easily fit 7 players into 6 positions. So I tested the theory.   If nobody is traded, the Twins have 7 players to use in 6 positions.

Will Strasburg Become a Noun and a Verb?

This article was originally posted at Knuckleballsblog.com.   I’m kind of tired of reading and hearing about Stephen Strasburg and the decision by the Washington Nationals to shut him down for the season. That being the case, I’m not sure why I’m choosing now to actually write about him. But I am.   I suppose the reason is that I’ve been trying to put myself in the shoes of those directly and indirectly involved with the decision to put an end to the hard-throwing phenom’s season because he

Twins drop series opener to Royals

What happened to all that offense that showed up for the Cleveland series? Or pitching for that matter?   After scoring 24 runs, averaging six per game against the Indians, the Will Smith and the Royals stop the Twins bats cold and Kansas City would, as Ron Gardenhire would say after the game, hit the fire out of the ball.   The Twins offense was far from the productive group it has shown against Cleveland, and gave the Royals pitchers very little to sweat about.   In the bottom of the fifth, do
