Kurt Suzuki - Signed to be the starter?

Mike Berardino reported yesterday that Terry Ryan expected Kurt Suzuki to start at catcher. At the time of the signing, it appeared that Suzuki was signed to gibe the Twins a veteran backup. On this site, there were certainly questions about his defense and concern about the workload he carried early in his career. At the time, the best available options other than Suzuki were John Buck or retaining Doumit. While Suzuki has shown to be a poor pitch framer, Doumit and Buck are at the bottom.   P

Podcasting: Talking Tanaka, Twins & Rockcats

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-056cy5Z-OeM/UuGpH01MrdI/AAAAAAAAAto/__6b6ORgXW4/s1600/BlogTalkRadio.jpg [Originally published at Twins Fan From Afar]   I've only done a few podcasts in the couple years that I've had this blog, but it's a lot of fun to do. Last night, Travis Aune, keeper of Texas Twins Fan, was nice enough to invite me on his weekly podcast. We talked for almost an hour. You definitely have to listen to it, but topics ranged from the Yankees' signing of Japanese pitcher Masahiro Tanak

Twins' LHP Andrew Albers' departure and the curse of Jim Rantz

Originally published at The Tenth Inning Stretch ---- Today the Minnesota Twins have finalized their agreement with South Korea's Hanwha Eagles, selling LHP Andrew Albers' contract. It is a good move for Albers who will be compensated close to $1 million, while he would have had a hard time cracking the Twins' and potentially even the Red Wings' rotations, after the acquisitions of Ricky Nolasco, Phil Hughes and Mike Pelfrey at the major league level and Kris Johnson and Sean Gilmartin at th

Twins Prospects Rank High On MLB's Positional Rankings

Minnesota is widely considered to have one of the game's best farm systems. It helps to have two of the best prospects in all of baseball, Byron Buxton and Miguel Sano. The Twins have also done well to acquire some top notch pitching talent over the last couple of years in the form of Alex Meyer, Kohl Stewart, and Lewis Thorpe.   MLB.com will be unveiling their list of the top 100 prospects in baseball on Thursday, which should include a number of players from the Twins organization. Buxton and

Richard Sherman, The Twins Way and StrengthsFinder

http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/2/files/2014/01/8141464.jpg Q: How many hipsters does it take change a light bulb (craft a social commentary about what Richard Sherman’s outburst, and our reactions to it, really means)? A: It’s a really obscure number, I doubt you’ve heard of it (at least one more). So, unless you are unaware that technology exists, you probably know that Richard Sherman said some stuff Sunday night after the Seattle Seahawks pulled off a thrilling 23-17 victory ov

The Rise (And Trade) of Andrew Albers

Ron Gardenhire slowly walked out to the mound at Kauffman Stadium for a move that he didn't really want to make. Andrew Albers pitched into the ninth inning without allowing a run and it was his big league debut.Unfortunately, his pitch count had run up to 109 and it was time to get the bullpen involved.   It was a tremendous debut and it was hard to imagine things getting better from there... but they would.   In his next outing, Albers was even more impressive. In front of the Target Field fai

Twins have Unfinished Business

It is fair to say that the offseason is still very much one of unfinished business for the Twins. There is still time for things to change, of course, and there may be further business to be done yet before the season starts.   With a 2013 record of 66-96 (.407), fans betting MLB World Series knew there was a considerable need for change and strengthening within the roster and the first part of the squad that needed attention was the pitching line-up and in particular the starters.   The 2013

25- Man Roster Dissection: Ricky Nolasco

February 17, 2014 is the reporting day for pitchers and catchers in the Twins organization. Some players will head to Florida knowing their roster spot is locked-in while others will toil with wondering what the future might bring. Glen Perkins, the Twins All-Star closer, was the last man I profiled and he is basically guaranteed a spot on the 25-man roster.   This reporting date will also mark a new era for the franchise as the team spent a significant amount of money on free agent pitching for

Forgotten Twins? Fred Manrique

Originally posted at Kevin Slowey was Framed!   Hey all, time for another installment of Forgotten Twins? If you don't remember, I scour the most important websites in the universe to determine if a particular Twins player is forgotten by society. I decided to sub out Bing for Fangraphs going forward. I thought it would be funny to use multiple search engines, but they're all the same, so the joke is on me. ENOUGH EXPLAINING!   My memories of Fred Manrique   This is going to sound awful, but

Along with these players, managers Bobby Cox, Tony Larussa and Joe Torre were inducted by the veterans committee.     One player who deserves to be in the Hall Of Fame is Jack Morris. This year, he received 61.5 percent

Jimmy Crack Corn, Trevor May and the 25-man roster

http://assets.podomatic.net/ts/19/ad/da/paulpleiss/1400x1400_9162796.jpg This week's episode is highlighted by a candid interview with Minnesota Twins pitching prospect Trevor May (@trevmay54, DJ MAZR). Aside from talking with Trevor, we have a lively discussion concerning who we think will be on the 25-man roster when the Twins break camp and leave Florida this spring (the first, of what will likely be many such discussions as the first game of the season approaches). Also discussed are the non
