Capps Nursing Sore Shoulder
Posted on 26 Jun 2012 by Mike Schlottman.
The Twins placed Matt Capps on the 15 day DL due to some shoulder inflammation that's been bothering him. “Nobody wants to go on the DL. That's kind of a no-brainer,” Capps said before Monday's game at Target Field. “This is my job. I don't want to be sitting around. I don't want to watch my teammates out there on the field. Sometimes this is what it takes to get right. I'm no...

Wild Looking To Add Scoring
Posted on 12 Jun 2012 by Mike Schlottman.
With this year's draft, the Minnesota Wild are hoping to add what they need the most — scoring! With guys like Mikael Granlund, Charlie Coyle, Johan Larsson, and Brett Bulmer they are hoping to solve that issue. Seemingly, though, the biggest problem surrounding the Wild each and every year is the under-performing they tend to get from proven scorers in the past. Hopefully that will...

Ex-Twins Are Making It Just Fine
Posted on 7 Jun 2012 by Mike Schlottman.
The Twins have the night off tonight, so I thought use this blog post to take a look at a few of the ex-Twins that are still in the league and see….how are they doing now that we've let them go? Torii Hunter: he has been in the league for 13 years and is starting to show his age. He's batting only .238 with 6 homers and 16 RBI. Of course there's been the off-field drama caused by hi...

The off-season hasn't been that long for the Wild and already, some players are moving around. Here's a look at what's going on: Erik Christensen, who was picked up in February, has signed with a KHL (Czech) team and is leaving the Wild. He was brought on as a shootout specialist, ranking 3rd overall with 29 shootout goals in his career. He didn't impress the Wild, though, accumulating on...

Chen Superb as Twins are shutout
Posted on 5 Jun 2012 by Mike Schlottman.
Bruce Chen had his way with the Twins tonight going 7 inn and giving up 0 ER on 4 hits. He had command of his pitches, walking none and striking out 5 on the night. Minnesota was blanked after having scored 10 runs on 12 hits the night before as tonight they managed to scatter just 5 hits and left 6 runners on base. Francisco Liriano pitched very well going 6 innings, giving up 1 ER off o...

Twins Select Byron Buxton #2
Posted on 4 Jun 2012 by Mike Schlottman.
For the #2 pick overall in the 2012 Amateur draft, the Minnesota Twins selected OF Byron Buxton. The Twins said they had their eye on Buxton since last summer and they like that he's an athletic, 5 tool player. Being that Minnesota desperately needs pitching, it was rumored that they would select RHP Mark Appel from Stanford, but the Twins said they wanted to go with the best player availab...

Posted on 3 Jun 2012 by Mike Schlottman.
As of last Thursday night, Kenny Florian officially announced his retirement from the UFC. He has been struggling with a back injury and stated that if he can't go out and train and perform at 100% then it's time to hang it up. He will stick around the UFC scene, however, as he is the co-host of UFC Tonight on FUEL TV. The 9 year MMA vet posted a career record of 14-6 and was the only UFC f...

Exercise in Futility
Posted on 28 May 2012 by Mike Schlottman.
The Minnesota Twins need a win….badly! The problem is, so do the Oakland A's. Both teams are undergoing the types of losing skids that makes them almost unwatchable. The good news for the A's and the Twins is that regardless of how awful they've been playing, one team will emerge victorious and end their losing streaks. The A's and the Twins have each lost 5 in row and the skid will...

Complete Game!
Posted on 23 May 2012 by Mike Schlottman.
The past couple of years have been a struggle for P.J. Walters. He spent most of that time in the minors with brief stints in the Majors with the St. Louis Cardinals and then with the Toronto Blue Jays. Over that span he started all of 4 games posting an ERA of around 8.00. In 2012 he got another shot, this time with the Minnesota Twins and their questionable pitching staff. Walters went ...

Back to reality
Posted on 21 May 2012 by Mike Schlottman.
The Minnesota Twins got a beat down yesterday at Miller Park, losing to the Brewers 16-4. It was so bad that back up catcher Drew Butera had to come in and pitch the 8th. But enough about that mess. They get a much needed day off today, so I thought I would take this opportunity to list the top 10 prospects in the Twins farm system and their 2012 stats. Enjoy! 1. Miguel Sano, 3b/ss ...
