Let's Make a Deal for Denard Span

​This blog is also available on our original site along with a quick and easy poll to vote in   In six weeks the trade deadline will come to pass, but before that happens there will be rumors, conjecture, and wheeling/dealing of innumerable kinds. It's exhilarating and yet, frightening because--after all--you're giving up something you know for something that is totally unpredictable. There's so much uncertainty that it makes me feel every bit as anxious as I used to feel watching game shows as

Random Tuesday Twins Thoughts and Tidbits

Originally published at The Tenth Inning Stretch ----   Here is this week's installment: Congratulations to Beloit Snappers for making the 1st half playoffs. Here are Snappers' AJ Pettersen's thoughts about Beloit's first half. Congratulations to Oswarlo Arcia for being promoted to New Britain. He is on the 40 man roster, so it very well be that he would be called up to the Twins in September from AA, pretty much like Parmelee and Benson did last season. Here is a great story about the Twins

Ben Revere: Placeholder??

Tuesday Morning Tidbits

Original post from North Dakota Twins Fan ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After pulling out a victory in a 15-inning affair on Sunday afternoon and into Sunday evening, the Twins got a much needed day of rest yesterday before traveling to Pittsburgh. The Twins will play the Pirates and the Reds to complete their interleague schedule before returning home and getting back into American League action. Both of these teams have been playing well in the last couple weeks so it will be interesting to see how the Twin

Chic Automatons

I love the Twins Daily Site. It presents to me a lot of insight, angles and intelligence.   I love the metrics also, and I understand it is a sabermetric dominated site - but in a way, I find the Twins Daily site a dominated platform for "Metrics" individuals and it can become quite stifling for some.   There is seemingly a small amount who play it by the vest and display their emotional quotient, but they are on this site hoping for their chance to have a voice... and want/need a platform. I

Even Though Their Were Plenty Of Mistakes In Yesterday's Win, The Twins Will Still...

Originally posted at http://troystwinsdugout.wordpress.com/2012/06/18/even-though-there-were-plenty-of-mistakes-in-yesterdays-win-twins-will-take-the-victory/   Hello Twins fans, How about that game yesterday! It took 15 innings, but the Twins got it done thanks to a base hit by Denard Span that scored Brian Dozier. There were plenty of mistakes for the Twins at the plate. The most glaring is Ryan Doumit grounding out with the bases loaded to end the bottom of the Twelfth. Part of it is the Brew

2012 Day-by-Day - June 18

Not a very active (or successful) night tonight. Ft. Myers is coming back from their All-Star break, while Beloit heads into theirs. New Britain has an off night, but GCL Twins debuted tonight, sans Byron Buxton and the Elizbethton Twins start tomorrow. Thus I have added 2 new pages and they new tabs can be seen on the bottom of the page.   Recap:   https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AiRVhKu18uIhdDBSYUc5UGtSMkluOEFSWFdnTVdvQVE&output=html

Catching Up, Revere, Dozier, and Other Notes

Originally posted at k-bro's baseball blog   Hi. It's been a while. Nothing like a busy-at-work-busy-at-home lifestyle to put a dent in one's blogging ambitions. But anyhoo...     I have a few thoughts.     My thoughts on Ben Revere How much fun has Benny been to watch lately? The plays in the outfield, the improved hitting, the smiling, the adorableness, the little chicken wing thing he does in the batting box, the plays in the outfield ...     I was excited about him last year, but this

Twins Must Decide When, Not If, Glen Perkins & Jared Burton Are Available

Some spring training moves are bearing fruit. The question is when they will be most ripe?     Glen Perkins hasn't been especially effective this year, but he still profiles as possible closer long term, with well over a strikeout per inning. Even better, this spring he signed a deal that keeps his salary team-controlled through 2016 at a level considerably below that of a closer.     So how should the Twins play that? On the one hand, they could trade him now to a team that finds a left-handed

Book Review: "Harmon Killebrew: Ultimate Slugger"

Originally published at www.Knuckleballsblog.com   http://knuckleballsblog.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/172493889-194x300.jpg I recently received a review copy of Harmon Killebrew: Ultimate Slugger. The book was written by Steve Aschburner with a foreword by Jim Thome and published by Triumph Books. Steve Aschburner is a long time sports writer, covering all four major league sports and NCAA basketball. His primary area of emphasis is NBA basketball, but between this book, and his 2008

AA and AAA: Where's the Offense?

The Road Ahead for the 2012 Minnesota Twins

[Originally posted at http://minnesotasportshub.wordpress.com/2012/06/18/the-road-ahead-for-the-2012-minnesota-twins/]   The trading deadline is on the horizon, the time to buy or sell is near. Rumors are emerging from the mystical land of unnamed sources, mostly revolving around Justin Morneau and the Toronto Blue Jays, and they will only grow louder as the days pass by. It’s rather clear that the Twins will be sellers come July 31st but instead of focusing on the soon to be AAA Twins, lets tak

Gleeman & the Geek Ep 46: Loving a Filthy Twitter

Aaron and special guest co-hosts Parker Hageman and Joe Nelson talk about Trevor Plouffe's power explosion, Liam Hendriks' long-ball troubles, whether or not the Twins should be looking to trade Denard Span, Josh Willingham, Justin Morneau, and other veterans, why a filthy Twitter is a good thing, the development of power pitchers, and a phone call from a vacationing John Bonnes. Here are: the podcast the rss feed the podcast on itunes

Twins are behind in "Era of Pitching"

Original post from North Dakota Twins Fan http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mAFtdGjpK3M/T9602G7XrmI/AAAAAAAACOQ/UfaDWKM00f8/s400/PowerPitchers.jpg Twins fans are well aware of how great pitching has been across baseball this season. So far this year, there have been five no-hitters with two of those being perfect games. Two former Twins pitchers, Johan Santana and Phil Humber, accounted for two of the no-hitters. Unfortunately for the Twins, they were also on the wrong end of a no-hitter against Jered

2012 Day-by-Day - June 17

Sorry the day-by-day's have not been updated recently. Life happens, busy week, things are even busier when the Twins are in town. Now that they are out for a week, this should be back to a daily report.   Recap:   https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AiRVhKu18uIhdDBSYUc5UGtSMkluOEFSWFdnTVdvQVE&output=html

Adopt a Prospect #3: Battle of the Beards

It's a frightening time for Luis Perdomo (and his beard). With all the young college relievers getting drafted and signed up with the Twins, long standing vets like Perdomo had better prove their worth quickly or else they'll find themselves looking for work elsewhere. Meanwhile for the beard feared throughout New Britain there's the troubling development out of Oklahoma City. Yes, there's a new, hip, threatening beard loose in the world of sports: the mighty muzzle of James Harden. But is Harde
