Impact Rookies: Detroit Tigers: via Twins MVB March 14, 2010 at 10:51 AM; The 2010 Detroit Tigers are an odd blend of veterans and rookies.

Evaluating a Draft: 2000: via Twins MVB February 13, 2010 at 11:59 AM; Although the season is just around the corner, there is still plenty of time to start a mini-series, isn’t there? As we follow the latest (and most likely inaccurate) Joe Mauer rumors, here is a review of the first round of the 2000 draft, along with a few other notable picks. 1st Round (2nd overall) – [...]
Evaluating a Draft: 2001: via Twins MVB February 13, 2010 at 11:59 AM; Evaluating a Draft: 2001 The 2001 MLB Draft could be labeled as a success, if for no other reason than bringing Joe Mauer to the Twin Cities. In 2001, the Twins focused on a thick crop of prep talent, as their first four picks were fresh out of high school. So far, it looks as if [...]
Happy Nick Punto Day: via Twins MVB February 13, 2010 at 11:59 AM; A couple weeks ago Twins blogger and Twins MVB contributor, Andrew Kneeland, asked the Twins blogging community to come together to celebrate February 12 as Nick Punto Day. Kneeland knew that Punto has been one of the most polarizing and head-scratching players for the Twins over the past six years. My feelings for Nick Punto are [...]

The Intriguing Story of Erik Lis: via Twins MVB January 27, 2010 at 09:53 AM; Erik Lis seems to have flown off the radar these days. After putting up a .283/.353/.462 batting line in his second consecutive year at New Britain, I gave Lis the 47th position on my Top 50 Prospects list. Should he be higher? After all, the guy has hit everywhere he has been. As a 25-year old in [...]

Hudson’s extended availability after the 2008 [...]

Thome Could Add Bench Depth: via Twins MVB January 23, 2010 at 07:11 AM; So the rumors are true, the Twins are having conversations with free agent slugger and long time Twins-killer, Jim Thome. The 39-year old Thome is looking to find at bats his options appear to be down to the White Sox or Twins. Joe C. from the Star Tribune has a great piece covering the topic. Besides [...]

Anticipating an Outfield Jam: via Twins MVB January 20, 2010 at 01:35 AM; While we sit and wait for some meaningful news to float out of the Twins’ offices in Target Field, anticipating the future is one of the best ways to pass time.

A Few Notes For These Quiet Days: via Twins MVB January 15, 2010 at 11:41 PM; Just a couple quick notes from the action of the last few days. First, I do apologize for the lack of content on my part.
