Forum: Minnesota Twins

Now that the Twins got swept by the Yanks, I think it's a great time to evaluate the roster. These are what I think are our biggest priorities: 1. Pay Joe Mauer as soon as possible. I do not want another situation like with Johan. 2. Outfield- Cuddyer and Span are the only two I would...

I believe the 'MINNESOTA' block lettering is gone. The away cap design will feature a red bill. Scott Baker is in the new away uniforms which I think look horrible. Denard Span is in the new Saturday specials, which look pretty nice. Also, the 'M' cap will still be used. ...

My wife and I will be traveling to Minneapolis next summer to see Target Field and I'm hoping that there is a local or two who can fill us in on some things to do or see while we're there. We're staying downtown and planning on walking around to see everything we can see. So, what are the things...

Well, it's another season opener just around the corner...time for everyone to get in their "remember that I was the first to tell you..." moments.

Virtually limitless are the adjectives one could utilize to properly describe Joe Mauer — unbelievable, incredible, marvelous, unprecedented. One in particular, however, may hold credence above all others — historically significant. In just six seasons, Mauer has already cemented his name...

Thoughts? This should clear the outfield logjam, and give us some more righthanded power.

What an interesting series. The small market Twinkies who do it the right way and always seem to compete in their division vs the Yankees who flat out bought a playoff birth. One team showing you way baseball is great and one showing you why the current system is unfair and stupid. Not only that...

and give the Cubs Denard Span thoughts?

I can understand if the Twins wanted to build a baseball-only stadium. I understand if they wanted to play the game outdoors. What I don't understand is why they chose not to build a stadium with a convertible roof. I heard once that the Twins have a fan base from around the midwest and they...

John “Jackie” Collum, who shared a dugout with Hall of Famers during nine seasons of Major League Baseball, has died at age 82. Collum, who was born in Victor and lived in Grinnell for much of his life, pitched in the 1950s and 1960s. Advertisement He died Saturday at Mayflower Health Care...

I have some questions for Twins fans. Why doesn't Joe Mauer hit for more HR power? :shrug: He's listed at 6'5" 220 lbs. He hit 6 home runs in just 35 games in '04. Is it his swing?

Next season, the Minnesota Twins will wear new uniforms. It will go along with the opening of the new Target Field.

I just read this, although it happened a week or so ago. Thought you might be interested.

It’s been nearly 68 years since the Splendid Splinter batted .406, but despite a hot start and two batting titles, Joe Mauer has more than history working against him. The position that he plays. Even with watered down pitching, a strike zone designed to protect hitters and all the battle...

Just reported by Jay Crawford on ESPN First Take that Pavano has cleared waivers and has been dealt to the Minnesota Twins.

The MLB Trade Deadline is fast approaching. With the Twins not too far out of the playoff picture, is there anything they need to adress? Any trades that need to be made? Your thoughts? Here are mine: Solid: C, 1B, 3B, RF, CF, DH, SP, CL Needs Imporvement:2B, SS, LF, RP What the Twins...

Is this the beginning of the end or the middle of the season's end...for the Twins?

According to my sources, the Twins are trying to acquire infielder Freddy Sanchez from the Pirates. The Pirates are "pushing" for a deal, taking a look at all offers, including offers from the Twins, Cubs, and Rockies. Sanchez would most likely be used off the bench or at second. So, questions...

Whenever Target Field hosts the All-Star Game....... Who will be in the Celebrity Softball Game? Important question, I know. I was just watching this years edition, so thats why I thought of it. But who do we got? Some possibilities:
