The Ace of Diamond, Indians Series Recap, and Other Notes

Originally posted at k-bro's baseball blog   Another series win! We all could get used this, right? There's nothing like winning to make everyone all confident and happy.     A couple of notes:   I think that my buddy Brian Dozier needs a day or two off to clear his head a little. It seems like he's scuffling a bit, especially with his glove. I think he'll be fine, though. Did you see that sick Ben Revere catch on Saturday? That perfect somersault in the outfield with a catch in the middle

Gleeman & the Geek Ep 44: Draft Talk and Scouting Sano

Aaron and John talk about Byron Buxton versus Mark Appel versus Carlos Correa, why Monday is the most important day of the Twins' season, first-hand scouting reports on Miguel Sano, Eddie Rosario, and the Beloit team from special guest Seth Stohs, how Carl Pavano is the new Shannon Stewart, what to make of Francisco Liriano's impressive start, their PickPointz MVP picks, Ben Revere's bunting, and how Aaron looks in a black evening gown. Here are:   the podcasts the rss feed if you want t

My Mock Draft

This is version 1.0 (and most likely the only one).   My mock draft: 1. Astros – P Mark Appel, Stanford. It comes down to him or Buxton. 2. Twins – OF Byron Buxton, Georgia HS. Correa gaining. 3. Mariners – SS Carlos Correa, Puerto Rico. The Mariners are unpredictable. I think it comes down to Correa or Buxton 4. Orioles – P Kevin Gausman, LSU. Bundy and Gausman could form a lethal combination. 5. Royals – P Kyle Zimmer, San Francisco. Will they pass on Zunino? Will they gamble on Giolit

Twins Draft Preview V - A Dozen Names to Know

Originally posted at www.ManCenter.com   -----------   Looking through names that expect to called next week, there are a few that seem to fit various patterns that the Twins have followed over the last handful of years. None of these names have appeared in any other preview that I've written.   Luke Anderson, RHP, North Dakota State - Anderson is originally from Prior Lake, MN, so there is a very good chance he's been on the Twins radar for awhile. A senior with local ties could be added late

Minnesota Twins Minor League Hitter of the Month - May

Earlier this week, I handed out the “awards” for Twins minor league relief pitcher and starting pitcher of the month for May. Today, it’s time to recognize the hitters. You’ll certainly notice that I ranked a top 6 for the two pitching categories and yet, today, I rank just five hitters. I wanted to give six, but there were a lot of guys that were in the same range, and none quite made me say that he had to be added. Miguel Sano, for instance, had an 0-24 stretch and a 1-39 stretch, and yet, he

Friday Night Minor League Lights

On Friday night, the Twins watched Carl Pavano struggle through another rough outing as he tries to find a way to fight through the shoulder problems that have plagued him in 2012. In less than five innings of work, Pavano gave up two home runs including a grand slam. By the time he left the mound, the Twins were in a 7-0 hole and it can be a challenge to come back from that big of a hole.   The three-game winning streak for the Twins came to an end on Friday night so let's look around the mino

Series Preview: Minnesota (June 1-3)

http://www.letsgotribe.com/2012/5/31/3056126/series-preview-minnesota-june-1-3#storyjump   The preview is done from the letsgotribe site, I wanted to throw my opinion out in lieu of the story, again it is fun looking at the preview from the other side. We do get labeled the worst team in the AL once again.   The Twins are going to be facing 3 straight RHP this weekend series, Low, Tomlin, Masterson   Derek Lowe's last start was vs the White Sox, his line was 2.1 IP, giving up 8 ER, and 10

Covering the Twins 2012 MLB Draft

Originally published at The Tenth Inning Stretch ----   It has been pretty much a tradition at The Tenth Inning Stretch to live blog the MLB rule 4 Draft from the Twins' perspective. I will cover every single pick all 3 days of the draft   I will follow what I did in 2010, which is:   Live draft coverage on each day of the draft, both with live blogging and on twitter. I will tweet each pick as happens, then I will blog details about the player including scouting reports, projections, videos e

Coming Soon at Twins Fan From Afar

[Originally published at Twins Fan From Afar]   http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VfULudsD8f4/T8jMCnbiG7I/AAAAAAAAAYA/OPJFAJIBus4/s320/NB.bmp   Since March, I have been providing Rock Cats content on this blog, whether it's game reports from contests I have attended, player stats, the latest on the potential change in affiliation, or recounts of events I have attended, like the pre-season welcome home dinner.

Profiles of the Top 22 Pitchers for the 2012 MLB Draft (Bonus) : Mitch Brown

Originally published at The Tenth Inning Stretch ----     With the Twins having a severe need for pitching in the organization as well as six picks among the top 100, it is certain that more than one of those picks (and probably the second overall pick) will be used to draft a pitcher. To this respect, I am presenting profiles of the top 22 pitching prospects for the 2012 MLB draft.   I have been presenting these alphabetically, and at the end I will rank them. I will be doing about one a day a

Friday Links-N-Thinks

Original post from North Dakota Twins Fan ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Get out the brooms because the Twins just got done sweeping the A's in a series at Target Field. It wasn't the prettiest of sweeps but a walk-off home run from Josh Willingham and an interesting outing from Francisco Liriano put the cap on the three game set. The A's aren't exactly the cream of the crop in the American League but at this point the Twins are just trying to play better baseball.   The Twins head to Cleveland for a weekend s

Jim Kaat and the 1965 Opener (players arriving by helicopter)

I get a regular e-mail from Richie Decker with "legal blasts" related to baseball. He had this, Opening Day memories, from Jim Kaat that includes the 1965 Opener:   Blog #27 - New Legal Blasts (and Unrelated Baseball Opening Day Memories) 05/23/2012   In 1965, I was scheduled to start against the Yankees. I left for the park in Minnesota, but there was a huge traffic backup. I got out of my car and a guy told me that the bridge was closed because of a big rain storm, and the river was flooded an

Day off after a 3 game sweep. Thoughts

I have to say watching the last 3 Twins games were fun to watch. 3 Things that got my attention in those 3 games.   1. Capps obvious excitement getting the save in the first game. I love seeing true emotion and he was very excited getting that save. 2. What a boring second game!!!!!!!!!!! Then turns exciting in about a 1/2 second cuz we all knew that Willinghams shot was going to be a walkoff, and the Twins needed something like that at home. 3. Liriano on the mound taking care of bu

Stop With the Premature Trade Talk Already

This article originally was posted on May 30 at Knuckleballsblog.com. I know Twins fans aren’t quite accustomed to dealing with having their team be uncompetitive right out of the gate, but that’s no excuse for being rediculously stupid.   It seems like some folks just don’t know how to enjoy the rare good performance when they see one. No, it has to be immediately followed by, “Let’s trade him!”   http://knuckleballsblog.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/MorneauST11h-221x300.jpg Justin Morne
