The 2012 Twins: Don’t Get to Know ‘Em, They Might Not Be Around Long

Let’s cheer for the Minnesota Twins today. Because these Minnesota Twins – the 2012 Minnesota Twins – might not be around tomorrow.   I just took a look at the Opening Day lineup and I’m struck by how few players I see — at least in the starting lineup — as a reliable part of the Twins future. The same thing goes for the projected starting rotation (my feeling is amplified with newsflash update of Scott Baker lasting 3 batters in his minor-league start today).   The Twins are very much a team

We all endured a long, cold off-season trying to remove the stench of the 2011 season from our collective memories

2012 Twins MiLB Predictions

This post originally appeared at www.puckettspond.com -------------------- Earlier this week I put together my predictions for the AL Central and Beyond, but today I’ll be taking a look down into the Twins farm system trying to prognosticate and give you my choices for who to watch this year in MiLB. Every year Seth Stohs (@SethTweets) asks a few members of the Twins blog-o-sphere for their minor league predictions/projections and this year I was lucky enough to be asked to provide my two cents.

ExTCs - Cops Enter Hunter's Home

Originally posted at http://twins-extcs.blogspot.com/   ---   Former Twin Torii Hunter had quite a scare yesterday when two police officers entered his Newport Beach home yesterday with guns drawn. Apparently, Hunter set off his silent home alarm system but did not know it. As he was lounging on his couch, he noticed police officers approaching with guns drawn ordering him to show his hands.   http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WjA77agPwtw/T32fFQ6ym5I/AAAAAAAAAeU/Q3uNEoVKqxs/s1600/torii.jpg   Although

2012 Twins - Who's your favorite?

This post originally appeared at http://www.puckettspond.com in it's entirety. ----------------- December 16, 2011 Michael Cuddyer signed a 3-year $31.5million dollar deal to play for the Colorado Rockies and for me, as well as for many other Twins fans, this was a sad day. I think the Rockies paid too much and I think the addition of Josh Willingham is an upgrade, but that’s not where I want to go with this. As a fan, the departure of Cuddyer was especially loathsome because Cuddy was my fav

My Evening with Alex Wimmers: The 2012 New Britain Rock Cats "Welcome Home" Dinner

[Originally published with pictures at Twins Fan From Afar] http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BQnbI0K-uYA/T30KG1tXEAI/AAAAAAAAAOA/ejWVyL4Ga0w/s320/Dinner+1.jpg   As much as I love going to Twins games, there's something special about minor league baseball. It's intimate and personal. It's real and unadulterated -- both the good and the bad. Every year, the New Britain Rock Cats host a "welcome home" dinner for the team, the front office and the fans. This year, it was held at the New Britain Elks Lodg

2012 Twins Minor League Projections

Original post from North Dakota Twins Fan   With Opening Day almost here, it is time for my annual predictions for the 2012 baseball season. It is always fun to sort through all of the teams, players, and divisions to find out who will be the best of the best in the coming year. There are always going to be surprises along the way like the Diamondbacks were in 2011. The edition of the new wild card spots in each league will also add some spice to the race for the playoffs in the 2012 season.   O

My Thoughts Heading Into The Season

This post was originally posted at http://troystwinsdugout.wordpress.com/2012/04/04/my-thoughts-heading-into-the-season/   Hello Twins fans! The season is almost here. I thought I’d share with you some of my thoughts heading into Friday’s season opener at Baltomore.   I think the biggest thing different from last year is the club is more prepared. Last year, for of our regulars didn’t play in spring training games until like mid way through. In fact, Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau didn’t play in a

ExTCs - Lohse to Start Opening Day...Again?

Originally posted at http://twins-extcs.blogspot.com/ --- Only the elite get a chance to take the mound on Opening Day. So you may scratch your head when you find out that Kyle Lohse is doing it for the second time today. And he’s doing it for the defending World Series Champions, no less. OK, a few pieces needed to fall into place for Lohse in order to achieve this accomplishment, but facts are facts. And when we look back at the record books, history will show Kyle as a 2-time Opening Day

These Season Previews Have Been Approved for All Audiences

We really appreciate those intelligent, dedicated Twins bloggers who can analyze the minor league invitees, pick apart pitching motions and scrutinize batting stances until the Twins' prospects for the coming year can be understood by anyone with half-a-brain.   But we aren't those bloggers.   To us Spring Training is less a time to be studied and obsessed over and more like a trailer for the movie. Unfortunately, it's a trailer that goes on past the end of the average fan's attention span. So,

ExTCs- Neshek Sent to AAA

Originally posted at http://twins-extcs.blogspot.com/ ---   Former Twin Pat Neshek was nearly perfect this spring. In nine innings, he did not allow a run. He had 8 strikeouts. He never walked a batter. So naturally, he was sent to AAA today. The right handed pitcher will be taking his unusual delivery to the minor league system instead of facing our beloved Twins this weekend.       The timing is unfortunate because he was sure to have plenty of family and friends back home in Brooklyn Park

Response to "Access and Accountability" - One Fans Point of View

In response to Nick Nelson's post:   http://twinsdaily.com/content.php?391-Access-and-Accountability   I'm not a journalist. Journalism was not my college major. Heck, I barely read my high school paper. I am just a Twins fan that reads too many articles and posts trying to learn as much about my team as possible. I will read ESPN and FOX, to the Strib, to blogs, even comments. I am interested to see what the news is on my team and what the general perception is on that news.   While the med
