2012 MLB Fan Cave

So most of you by now know I'm headed to New York City to inhabit the MLB Fan Cave this season and to be honest, I couldn't have done it without all of you. Twins Territory definitely stepped up when it came time to get a Twins fan into the Cave and I am so thankful for all of your support! I promise to make you all proud in New York City (and to boo the Yankees any chance I get)!   It's been a wild ride and since most people have been curious about my experience, I figured I take a second or tw

Twins Release Six Minor Leaguers

On Thursday morning, the Twins front office performed one of their most difficult tasks. They informed six minor league players that their dream of playing in the big leagues for the Minnesota Twins was coming to an end, that they had been released. I like to highlight the players released because they have all put in some quality time in the Twins organization and deserve to be recognized one more time as they exit the organization. Some of them may be able to hook on with another organization.

Rosario's infield transformation continues

Original post from North Dakota Twins Fan ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XZ4BnqAdoiU/T2qVBaec3DI/AAAAAAAABJA/pTpDj5rw4fI/s320/ux4BUKbr.jpg In recent years the Twins have struggled to produce quality middle infielders who could succeed at the big league level. There has been a steady stream of infielders to man second base and shortstop for the Twins during the last two seasons but no one has stood out above the crowd. During this offseason, the organization decided to try to create

The Sticks

We all know that a measure of one's stats in fantasy does not directly relate to on-field success. But all you need is an email address and a password and you can manually create a roster full of ex-Twins with very little effort. For the purpose of this blog, I did just that. As I type this, I realize there is nothing worse than listening to someone talk about their fantasy t

The Twins Next Window...

In really studying the Twins major leage and minor league rosters this off season, and looking back at the past 4 years I came to the painful conclusion that the Twins missed their window to win a World Series. I think 2009-2012 was that window, and they missed that window due to career altering injuries, poor front office management, and the damn Yankees.   Justin Morneau suffering a concussion when he had just reached his absolute peak, was a more crippling blow then most realized. At the tim

Profit and Loss

Nishioka's demotion to Rochester woke the Internet like a robin singing. At that moment, Spring Training truly arrived. Players without unquestionable abilities are now assets, each compared to similar players and measured for potential value for the team.   When someone like Nishioka is cut early, it adds drama to the entire process. He represents a large investment of time and money, and sending him to the minors so quickly says a lot. This leaves the Twins with a bench spot to fill, and a

Mining For Twins

When the Twins sent Tsuyoshi Nishioka down, they admitted that they might need to replace him with a guy from another team’s roster. They’re right. Looking at the guys that remain in camp, there isn’t another really good option, at least not one that can play shortstop.   Fortunately, this is the right time to find just such a player. At the end of spring training, teams make all kinds of guys available: players without options, Rule 5 draft picks or just guys that are dropped from the 40-man ro

k-bro's Lame Spring Training Report: 2012 (Part 1)

Originally posted on k-bro's baseball blog   To be clear, the word "lame" in the title modifies "report" and not "Spring Training." Spring Training is always cool.     If you follow me on Twitter or Facebook, you may have noticed that I took a nice vacation in beautiful Fort Myers, Florida. It was an amazing trip, and I had a great time.     I was lucky enough to attend three Twins Spring Training games -- against the Yankee, the Blue Jays, and the Pirates.     And here's the lame part.

Can the Twins' "new" utility infielder be an old one?

We have heard rumors that the Twins might be shopping "outside the organization" for a utility infielder after the demotion of Nishioka.   These rumors have just started a couple days ago, and are fairly interesting. If I had to venture a guess, the Twins will not have to search far to find a utility infielder and the "new" utility infielder would not even need to move far to join the Twins' camp in Spring Training. The writing in the wall is almost getting clear:   Looking across the street i

Random Tuesday Twins Thoughts and Tidbits

Here is this week's installment (also heavily influenced by Spring Training) : I am on my way to Fort Myers this weekend. There will be in situ coverage of the Twins major league and minor league camps, as well as games all next week from there. So make sure that you check here early and often. This will also give me a chance to update my Fort Myers Spring Training Guide for next season. I am also planning on a few surprises, but those will have to wait. I will be tweeting a lot during t

Centerfield Trade Bait

[Originally published at Twins Fan From Afar]   The Twins certainly don't have a surplus of major league ready talent at most positions, such as catcher, third base, middle infield, starting pitching, and the bullpen. -- just to name a few areas of concern. But if there is one position where there is a good amount of talent, both on the major league club and in the minor league system, it probably is centerfield.         [TABLE=class: tr-caption-container] http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PkYv_D0CQJc

Seeing Lincecum made me miss having an ace

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Of0x5M4xZHM/T2fmcN1mD5I/AAAAAAAABIo/vItElcCwrD0/s320/628x471.jpg As I touched on with my post from yesterday, I spent part of the last week in Arizona taking in some Cactus League action. One of the highlights for me during this trip was being able to watch Tim Lincecum take the mound for the Giants. It is rare to get to see a true ace especially one from the National League since the Twins don't face the NL on a consistent basis.   The Star Tribune did a good write-up
