Cody's 2014 Minnesota Twins Top Prospects: 11-20

One of the benefits of being a bad team for multiple seasons is the fact the Twins have been able to replenish some of their farm system with high draft picks the last two years. Add these players into a group that already included some top-notch talent, and the future of the Twins organization continues to look bright.   Throughout the offseason there will be plenty of prospect lists released by a variety of media outlets. There are always differences between how people view the particular tale

The Twins have Pitching Needs

The list of “needs” for the Minnesota Twins is a long one this off-season. After winning back-to-back American League Central titles in 2009 and 2010, they have now suffered three consecutive losing seasons, finishing 30 games under .500 (66-96) for the second season in a row.     The batting line-up is full of veterans but the whole franchise is threatened by the lack of quality in the starting pitching rotation and that has to be the biggest need for the Twins this off-season.     The Minneso

I don't care which free agent starters the twins sign

While I expect this is a different view than most of the people frequenting this site hold, I don't really care which free agent pitchers the Twins sign this offseason. I expect the Twins to sign 2 free agent pitchers, and perhaps even a 3rd "flyer" of some sort. I have no favorites and really don't think it matters who the Twins sign or necessarily, for how long.   First of all, I don't think there are any difference makers out there(With the possible exception of Tanaka). Many could possi

Episode 60: Jon Rauch's Terrible Neck Tattoo

http://assets.podomatic.net/ts/19/ad/da/paulpleiss/1400x1400_9006857.jpg 60 is a number worn my several Twins throughout the years, including current "closer" Glen Perkins from 2006-2007, and most recently by Pedro Hernandex (2013) and Jeff Gray (2012), but most notably by Jon Rauch and his terrible neck tattoo in back to back seasons (2009-2010). This week on the podcast we discuss a plethora of minor league happenings, including the pending 50-game suspension of Eddie Rosario and recent 40-man

Twins Starting Pitching Trade Targets?

Originally posted at Kevin Slowey was Framed!   Yesterday, I started to delve into starting pitchers who I want the Twins to target in potential trades. I outlined five starters, three from the Cincinnati Reds. If you missed it, click here. Today, I have five more pitchers for you, free of charge! There are two legitimate "aces" on this list and both are almost certainly pipe dreams. That being said, it's fun to aim high. I hope the Twins aim high, because I'd love to be surprised by my fa

Passing the Blame for Eddie Rosario's Suspension

Word is slowly starting to trickle out about a 50-game suspension that will be handed down to Twins second base prospect Eddie Rosario. He apparently told the manager of his winter league squad that he wouldn't be able to play because of his pending suspension. The official suspension won't be announced until the league can resolve an issue on their end.   Rosario is a converted outfield who by most accounts is top ten prospect in the organization. His quick wrists have helped him to become one

The Dominos are falling: The Twins acquire Kris Johnson from the Pirates

Originally published at The Tenth Inning Stretch ----   In the first trade of the 2013 off-season, the Minnesota Twins returned RHRP Duke Welker (whom they acquired in the Justin Morneau trade) to the Pittsburgh for LHSP Kris Johnson.   Johnson (6'4", 190, 28 years old) is a former first round draft pick of the Boston Redsox (2006) and signed as a minor league free agent by the Pirates 2 years ago. He was listed as the Redsox' fourth best pitching prospect in 2008 by Baseball America. T

Quit wasting my time with Gleeman and the Geek

For those of you waiting with great anticipation about where the best beer in the Cities is or what the social behavior of Bonnes and Gleeman is going to be, look no further just download the GATG episodes. For me, I am sick of them, I have no desire to listen to two drunks give their opinions on night life in twin cities or their drinking habits they are so proud of. Please Twins fans recommend other podcasts that are really filled with Twins content, I wont be going back to the circus named,

Why the ignorance on Deduno?

I read post after post about the projected rotation for Twins in 2014, many exclude Deduno entirely or at least have him at number 4. Cmon folks, quit listening to the experts, trust your eyes, Deduno has GREAT stuff, don't believe it, ask Gardy...   Any other pitcher who didn't pitch like Deduno, would be praised and hailed as savior of Twins pitching, but because his style is o unorthodox, he is like a fastballing knuckleballer.....we (twins nation) have to rely on other peoples opinions to a

My big, bold, unrealistic Twins 2014 off season

This is a completely ridiculous-not-going-to-happen-in-a-million-years-but-could-if-Terry-Ryan-was-ludicrously-bold offseason plan.   First off, the Twins will only have $46 million allotted to non-rookie contracts; this should free up tons of money. I'm not going to get into money that in depth, but I would like to think any of the players I mention as FA pickups would fit within the budget. Soooo, here it is:   1) Biggest, boldest, boldesterest move: Trade for Jurickson Profar. This seems cr

When Could Alex Meyer Boost the Rotation?

There are plenty of questions for the Twins to find answers to in the coming months. One of the biggest conundrums swirling around the team is trying to figure out who will make up the starting rotation. Kevin Correia seems like the only lock for a starting job but the Twins don't really want him as the staff ace. So what direction should the team go?   If the season started today, the Twins would likely enter the year with a rotation composed of Kevin Correia, Kyle Gibson, Scott Diamond, Vance

What If You Won The Lottery

Hi There!   So what if you happen to win the lottery tomorrow?   It’s got to be my favourite scenario, me winning the lottery, so you can bet i’ve given this a lot of thought - i’d use the money to pay off my loans, then i’d help our my parents, then i’d invest in a property, go on a european holiday.   If winning the lottery was a possibility what would you do with the money and why?

Twins' Trade Chips (targets?)

With a whole 3 to 4 months of hot stove upon us (depending on your water cup viewpoint), what better to do than speculate on what the Twins will be able to do during that time? A big topic of interest on TwinsDaily has been the potential trade market for pitching; specifically, Homer Bailey. If you happen to live under a rock, the "rotation situation" is desperate for improvement after yet another abysmal attempt. There's quite a few scenarios that the Twins could explore in a player swap that I
