Ben Revere Makes Catch of The Year
Posted on 23 Aug 2011 by Jonathan Fawkes.
Ben Revere has been a bright spot in an otherwise disappointing season for the Twins. He has shown tremendous range in the outfield and has made many spectacular catches on the run. Last night he found a way to top them all while doing his best Spider-Man/Willie Mays impression: Revere's incredible catch Revere has been a top prospect in the Twins organization for a few years and injuries h...

Why The Twins Will Win The AL Central
Posted on 12 Jul 2011 by Jonathan Fawkes.
The Twins 2011 season has been a disappointment for the most part, but they have played well enough in June and July so that they now sit just 6.5 games back of Detroit at the All-Star Break. For a season recap check out my previous article which illustrates how injuries have plagued the Twins 2011 season. I believe that the Twins will ultimately be involved in another close race in the AL Ce...

Cuddyer Is Twins Only All-Star Selection
Posted on 5 Jul 2011 by Jonathan Fawkes.
In Michael Cuddyer's 11th season with the Twins he was voted as their lone All-Star selection. Manager Ron Gardenhire has had nothing but positive things to say about Cuddyer's leadership, toughness, and versatility (47 starts in RF, 21 at 1B, and 13 at 2B). In his career with the Twins he has played every position besides catcher and shortstop. His starts at 1B have helped the Twins deal wit...

Posted on 2 Jul 2011 by Jonathan Fawkes.
Following an impressive 94-win season in their first year at Target Field the Minnesota Twins were able to capture their 6th AL Central title in 9 years under Ron Gardenhire. Although it led to yet another first round defeat at the hands of the Evil Empire, expectations remained high surrounding a 2011 Twins team bringing back its most important franchise pieces along with a reconstructed ...

O’s Losing Streak Stopped, Split Four With Twins
Posted on 22 Apr 2011 by Sven Jenkins.
Entering this week’s four game series, the Twins and Orioles were two of the worst hitting teams in baseball. After splitting the series, the Twins and Orioles are still two of the worst hitting teams in baseball. They sit at 29th (O’s) and 30th (Twins) in on-base percentage in MLB. Baltimore was starting to get desperate for a win as they entered the series on a seven game losing streak...

Fantasy Baseball Is War- Don’t Panic Yet
Posted on 8 Apr 2011 by Mo Johnson.
Don’t worry, I UNDERSTAND. It's the first week of the season and your team is already sitting in last place. In fact your team is doing so bad that you are sure the other owners are plotting to kick you out of the league. After all the pre-draft work and the feeling of post-draft glow THIS is the result!! All you can do is look at your team and just mutter, ...

Twins shouldn’t pull trigger on dealing starting pitcher
Posted on 6 Mar 2011 by TS.
Nine pitchers started games for Minnesota last year. And that was a good year. Most seasons, the Twins, like most teams in baseball, have closer to a dozen pitchers start ball games for them over the course of the depth-testing 162-game Major League Baseball schedule. So when a team starts to fret about having six experienced starting pitchers returning with only five slots available on the ope...

Amaro Stands Pat on Phillies Needs
Posted on 19 Jan 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
One month ago, Phillies Nation took the collected works of Joe Blanton – culminating with a much-ballyhooed meltdown in the NLCS – and was salivating over prospects and players that could be garnered in a trade. Most pundits indicated that the Phillies would be foolhardy to pay $17 million over the next two seasons for a “mediocre fifth starter.” Just a few weeks ago i...

Wild (Card) Week Ahead for the Yankees
Posted on 5 Oct 2010 by Stephanie Geosits.
New York heads to Minnesota to begin ALDS play on Wednesday as the AL East's wild card selection, despite having the second best record in the league. Such is the structure of MLB playoffs these days. Chaos and rumors have already ensued about the three-man rotation Joe Girardi has announced, but one thing is for sure – CC Sabathia is the Yankees' number one starter. He'll get the ball ag...

First Half Fantasy Surprises Pt 2.- Pitchers
Posted on 19 Jul 2010 by Trevor Stewart.
Pitchers are often a revolving door in fantasy baseball. You ride the hot streaks, then add and drop them like hot cakes, except for a few studs that either seem to never have bad games (i.e. Roy Halladay, Felix Hernandez, or Cliff Lee), or guys you know will bounce back and are worth the temporary slump in the end (i.e. Johan Santana, Francisco Liriano). But there are some pitchers you just di...

Seeing is disbelieving
Posted on 28 Apr 2010 by Shane Liebler.
By the grace of some unseen force (the producers at the Major League Baseball Network), the Tigers game was broadcast in lieu of a blacked out Mets/Dodgers contest here in Central New York. Cool. It's a rare treat to see my hometown team in the Yankees/Red Sox/Mets country most folks call Upstate. They just are not on unless I ask the bartender nicely to tune in the corner television at neighbo...
