You couldn't find 10 reasons to like Twin's Daily so you came up with this?
IThe only affiliate I have seen play is New Britain, and that was almost 5 years ago om he road (in Norwich, CT, against the Cnnecticut Defenders). I would say the Cedar Rapids promotions of hitting home runs and winning games are the best.
When I toured the farm system last year and saw all the teams I got to compare their game-day experiences. The A affiliate was Beloit, not Cedar Rapids, so I don't know how they compare, but I found the best experience, including promos, in New Britain. Elizabethton was a close second.
This adjustment was expected. We've known the type of hitter Arcia is for a few years now. It was expected that pitchers would start to try and make him chase out of the zone. Good analysis Parker. I'd like to have the inside info about how they are trying to get Arcia to adjust.
I don't know. How many starts before Correia is over 5 for the season?
First, "views" does not equal "reads" does it? I have often wondered what percentage of "viewers" ended up being readers. Also, I like your idea, though I am not sure about Meyer. I liked Albers when the Twins first signed him and he has really produced.
This was awesome. I am glad I found it after all this time.
From what I've heard, Buxton seems like the kind of guy who has that desire to win. I could be wrong though.

Fun read. Thanks for sharing. But how DARE you besmirch Ah-Ha.
Isn't Ball a little more out of the picture for the Twins than guys like Manaea and Meadows (whom you profiled in the last couple days)? He is certainly intriguing. Is there a reason we haven't heard him mentioned alongside someone like Kohl Stewart?
Yes, how about a rotation that includes BOTH Gibson and Deduno!?
I would prefer Gibson just because he is someone to hope on for the future. If everything works out for Deduno at best he is a 1 or 2 year fix. Gibson is a long term solution to this team's biggest weakness -starting pitching.
Thanks for this Shane, for the record I read your 1B breakdown and look forward to future installments.
Chris Colabello works for me. Doesn't play the OF, but that doesn't matter.
Hey! This article compares Walker to Stanton....and here is a quote from MLB.com's Twins top-20 list about Walker: " His body type and power potential remind some of Giancarlo Stanton, a fellow former second-rounder, and the Twins wouldn't complain if that's what Walker becomes"......! Only problem is that Walker was a 3rd round pick, not 2nd
I don't do this ever, but I have to say: sheesh, REALLY? This is not worthy of comment? I am finishing up the second base stuff for tomorrow, but damn. should I even bother?
Rock Cats have lost 8 in a Row! The season can get away from you fast. They need to put together a winning streak.
Buxton has been terrific, but it is probably the correct move to keep him at Cedar Rapids at least until midseason. How many MiLB teams have won 30 games. I'm guessing there aren't many in affiliated baseball.
