Twins

With the addition of Ervin Santana via free agency, the Twins have essentially sealed up four of five spots in the 2015 rotation. Barring an injury or a dramatic turn of events in spring training, Santana, Phil Hughes, Ricky Nolasco and Kyle Gibson are all going to be there on opening day.

That leaves one final opening, with several names in the mix to fill it. Who should be the leading candidate?

With the 73rd and 74th picks of the night, the Twins drafted Jose Miranda, a prep shortstop from Puerto Rico, and Akil Baddoo, a prep outfielder from Georgia.

With the 56th pick of the 2016 MLB Draft, the Minnesota Twins select Wisonsin prep C Ben Rortvedt.

With the 2020 season undoubtedly becoming more of a sprint than a marathon, throw traditional thinking out the window. It affords for a whole lot to go differently than everybody expects and I believe opens up a window for some players to unexpectedly pave the way for the rest of their team. Today I’m giving my predictions for the Twins award winners in a 50-60 game season.

With the 2020 Offseason Handbook now available for download (grab yours here), I've been recounting the tales of offseasons past through the lenses of previous editions.

With Part 1 and Part 2 in the books, our final installment begins with the ending of an era.

With the 2020 Major League Draft in its final stages the Minnesota Twins will soon have another influx of talent to add to an already promising farm system. Last year Derek Falvey’s club picked 13th overall and had 11 selections in the top ten rounds. Now it’s time to check up on them.

With the 2020 baseball season now officially under delay, the Minnesota Twins have time to add to an already-talented team. Only this time the Twins won’t be using traditional methods of adding talent.

With the 2018 season right around the corner, perhaps the biggest topic in baseball circles right now is player projections. Whether it is for fantasy purposes or for trying to predict how your favorite team is going to play this season, people can’t get enough of them. So, I decided to create my own projections for each player on the Twins 40-man roster, and then see how my projections stack up versus some of the other more prominent projection systems.

With the 2018 MLB Draft less than a week away, it is time to reveal my top ten prospects that are available in this year’s draft. While it’s hard to envision most of these guys being available when the Twins make their pick at 20, as it always the case with the MLB Draft a couple of these guys will likely slip and could be available when the Twins make their selection. So, let’s dive in and learn a little more about the top of the draft board.

With the 15th pick of the 2016 MLB Draft, the Minnesota Twins select OF Alex Kirilloff, a prep from Pittsburgh.

With the round robin postseason set to begin for the Liga Venezuela Beisbol Profesional, Minnesota Twins outfielder Oswaldo Arcia remains sidelined with a back injury. Should one of the organization's best power threats continue to play out the winter season?

With the new Offseason Handbook available for download, we'll continue our retrospective of offseasons past. I went through the last seven years worth of Handbooks, seeking fun nuggets of nostalgia or insight and linking to previous freely accessible editions if you're hankering for a trip down memory lane.

Last time we looked at the winters of 2011-12 and 2012-13. Next up: 2013-14 and 2014-15.
