Minnesota Twins-Detroit Tigers Series Preview

8.30.19-Kyle Gibson RHP (12-6) 4.49 ERA Vs. Edwin Jackson RHP (3-7) 8.70 ERA

8.31.19-Martin Perez LHP (9-5) 4.53 ERA Vs. Matt Boyd LHP (6-10) 4.47 ERA

9.1.19-Michael Pineda RHP (10-5) 4.16 ERA Vs. Spencer Turnbull RHP (3-13) 4.18 ERA

9.2.19-Jake Odorizzi RHP (14-6) 3.55 ERA Vs. Jordan Zimmermann RHP (1-9) 6.24 ERA

The Twins At A Glance- The Twins started out a crucial ten-game road trip with a three-game sweep of the Chicago White Sox this week. They out-scored the Sox 21-8 in the three games and lead the Indians by 3.5 games in the American League Central. The Twins are a little banged up. Max Kepler has a sore knee, Marwin Gonzalez has a slight oblique injury, and Miguel Sano left Wednesday’s game after being hit in the arm. The Twins need to get through two games and can add players on Sunday with September call-ups. Willians Astudillo appears to be ready for activation on Sunday. LaMonte Wade has been on a rehab assignment over the past week. The Twins will likely add bullpen help too on Sunday. Jonathan Schoop had a great series in Chicago. He went 6-for-13 with three homers and five RBI’s. Nelson Cruz went 4-for-11 with three RBI’s against the Sox. Jake Cave is hitting .400 in August and has five homers and eight RBI’s. The Twins got three solid starts this week in Chicago. Michael Pineda went five innings and allowed a run. Jake Odorizzi and Jose Berrios got through six innings to rest the bullpen. Randy Dobnak threw three innings on Thursday and was the only arm used out of the bullpen. All the bullpen arms except him should be ready to go for this series. Trevor May has a 0.79 ERA in the month of August. Sam Dyson has allowed just one run in his last seven outings since returning from the injured list.

The Tigers At A Glance-The Tigers have struggled a lot in August with a (7-20) record this month. The Tigers were swept by the Indians this week in Detroit. The Indians out-scored the Tigers 16-3 in the three-game set at Comerica Park. Victor Reyes hit 3-for-12 in the series, which were the most hits by a Tiger in the three games. The Tigers went 1-for-6 with runners in scoring position in the three-game series. Detroit could not hit at all and tallied fourteen hits in the series. The Tigers got six decent innings from Spencer Turnbull on Tuesday, six solid innings from Jordan Zimermann, on Wednesday, and Daniel Norris only threw three innings on Thursday. Drew Verhagen piggy-backed him with four innings and one run. Joe Jimenez has four saves and has blown five saves on the year. Jose Cisnero is becoming a solid set-up man with a 3.91 ERA. Buck Farmer is the eighth-inning option for Ron Gardenhire. Look for the Tigers to call up Jeimer Candelario, Christin Stewart, and a third catcher when rosters expand. Daniel Stumpf, Caleb Thielbar, and other relievers could be called up on September 1st.

What To Watch For- The Twins are (8-4) against the Tigers in 2019. The Twins went (6-3) in nine games at Target Field and took two out of three from the Tigers in June at Comerica Park. There are seven games left between the two clubs and every game is in Detroit. Kyle Gibson is (9-9) with a 5.37 ERA in 21 career starts against the Tigers. Edwin Jackson went (1-5) with a 6.33 in eleven games against the Twins. Martin Perez is (2-3) with a 5.50 ERA in seven games against the Tigers. Matt Boyd is (6-6) with a 4.71 ERA in eighteen starts versus the Twins. CJ Cron has two career home runs off Boyd. Michael Pineda is (2-2) with a 4.28 ERA in seven starts against the Tigers. Ronny Rodriguez has two homers off Pineda. Spencer Turnbull has a 5.17 ERA in three games against the Twins. Jake Odorizzi is (5-1) with a 3.05 ERA in ten starts against the Tigers. Jordan Zimmermann is (4-5) with a 6.89 ERA in ten starts versus the Twins. Eddie Rosario and CJ Cron have homers each off Zimmermann. The Twins need to take another series against a bad Tigers team this weekend.

A team-by-team breakdown of the AL Central clubs at the start of spring training

A team-by-team look at the American League Central entering spring training, including key players each club acquired and lost, and dates of the first workout for pitchers and catchers, and the full squad:

Kansas City Royals

Manager: Mike Matheny (first season).

2019: 59-103, fourth place.

Training Town: Surprise, Arizona.

Park: Surprise Stadium.

First Workout: Feb. 12/17.

He’s Here: Manager Mike Matheny, RHP Trevor Rosenthal, RHP Braden Shipley, RHP Greg Holland, 3B Maikel Franco.

He’s Outta Here: Manager Ned Yost, INF Cheslor Cuthbert, RHP Trevor Oaks, RF Jorge Bonifacio.

Going campin’: The biggest moves for the Royals this season came away from the field.

Longtime owner David Glass, who died last month after a long illness, sold the franchise to a group led by Kansas City businessman John Sherman in a deal worth about $1 billion.

News of the sale became public about the time Yost announced his retirement and the Royals hired Matheny, who had been serving in an advisory role with the organization. It will be up to Matheny to continue a massive rebuilding effort that began shortly after the club’s 2015 championship season.

Young players such as SS Adalberto Mondesi, 2B Nicky Lopez, RF Hunter Dozier and OF Bubba Starling have already arrived and gained valuable experience last season, and a wave of pitching prospects could arrive late this year.

Success in 2020 will be measured less by wins than by the progress those players make as they position themselves to contend in 2021 and beyond.

Minnesota Twins

Manager: Rocco Baldelli (second season).

2019: 101-61, first place, lost to Yankees in Division Series.

Training Town: Fort Myers, Florida.

Park: Hammond Stadium at CenturyLink Sports Complex.

First Workout: Feb. 12/17.

He’s Here: 3B Josh Donaldson, RHP Kenta Maeda, RHP Homer Bailey, RHP Tyler Clippard, C Alex Avila, LHP Rich Hill, RHP Matt Wisler, RHP Jhoulys Chacin, LHP Blaine Hardy.

He’s Outta Here: RHP Brusdar Graterol, RHP Kyle Gibson, 1B C.J. Cron, 2B Jonathan Schoop, C Jason Castro, LHP Martín Pérez, RHP Ryne Harper, RHP Trevor Hildenberger, RHP Sam Dyson.

Going campin’: The high-priced addition of the big-swinging, slick-fielding Donaldson boosted an already deep lineup that produced a major league record 307 home runs last season.

Then came the agreement this week on the pending blockbuster trade with the Red Sox and Dodgers to land Maeda for the middle of the rotation, with Graterol, a 21-year-old flame-thrower, going out in a signal the front office is all in on 2020 on the heels of a breakthrough season.

Maeda or not, spring training will be an important time for starting pitching prospects Randy Dobnak, Devin Smeltzer and Lewis Thorpe, all of whom made their major league debuts last year.

With Michael Pineda serving the remainder of his suspension for taking a banned diuretic until mid-May and Hill recovering from elbow surgery until probably mid-summer, innings will need to be logged by some of the youngsters. Chacin, in camp on a minor league contract, is another candidate.

The position players are all but set, with Miguel Sanó needing to get in a groove with the glove at first base after Donaldson’s arrival pushed him off the opposite corner.

The spotlight will also be on center fielder Byron Buxton and his latest attempt to get healthy following shoulder surgery last September.

There will also be new coaches on Baldelli’s staff for players to get accustomed to, with Mike Bell the new bench coach and Edgar Varela the new hitting coach. Bell replaced Derek Shelton, who became manager of the Pirates. Varela replaced James Rowson, who became the bench coach for the Marlins.

Cleveland Indians

Manager: Terry Francona (seventh season).

2019: 93-69, second place in AL Central.

Training Town: Goodyear, Arizona.

Park: Goodyear Ballpark.

First Workout: Feb. 13/17.

He’s Here: 2B Cesar Hernandez, OF Delino DeShields, RHP Emmanuel Clase, C Sandy Leon.

He’s Outta Here: RHP Corey Kluber, 2B Jason Kipnis, OF Yasiel Puig, RHP Tyler Clippard, INF Mike Freeman, OF Leonys Martin, LHP Tyler Olson, RHP Dan Otero, C Kevin Plawecki, RHP Danny Salazar, RHP Nick Goody.

Going campin’: The Indians missed the playoffs for the first time since 2015 last season as Minnesota dethroned Cleveland as division champion.

The team’s decision to trade Kluber, a two-time Cy Young Award winner, in December to Texas has signaled a major shift for the organization, which will count on young starters like All-Star Game MVP Shane Bieber and Mike Clevinger to fill a huge void at the front of the rotation.

Third baseman Jose Ramirez’s prolonged slump hurt the offense for much of last season, and just when he found his groove, a wrist injury sabotaged his season along with the Indians’ chances of catching the Twins.

Hernandez takes over at second, where Kipnis was a mainstay for nine seasons. The outfield remains unsettled, with Oscar Mercado, who batted .269 in 115 games as a rookie, the only one guaranteed a starting spot. Slugger Franmil Reyes is an option in right, but he’s not exactly a Gold Glover.

All-Star shortstop Francisco Lindor’s future hangs over the team, and his situation will only become more of a distraction as he moves closer to possible free agency after 2021.

Cleveland’s first-half success could determine whether the team rides out the year with him or deals Lindor at the deadline.

Chicago White Sox

Manager: Rick Renteria (fourth season).

2019: 72-89, third place.

Training Town: Glendale, Arizona.

Park: Camelback Ranch.

First Workout: Feb. 12/17.

He’s Here: C Yasmani Grandal, LHP Dallas Keuchel, LHP Gio González, 1B-DH Edwin Encarnación, RF Nomar Mazara, RHP Steve Cishek, LF Cheslor Cuthbert.

He’s Outta Here: INF Yolmer Sánchez, C Welington Castillo, RHP Iván Nova.

Going campin’: The White Sox are coming off seven consecutive losing seasons. They haven’t made the playoffs since they lost to Tampa Bay in the 2008 AL Division Series.

But there is reason for optimism heading into spring training.

Free-agent deals for Grandal, Keuchel, González, Encarnación and Cishek strengthened the lineup, rotation and bullpen. Tim Anderson, Yoán Moncada, Eloy Jiménez and José Abreu anchor a deep batting order, and slugging center fielder Luis Robert is one of the favorites for the AL Rookie of the Year award.

If Chicago can sort out the back end of its rotation — Reynaldo López is coming off an inconsistent season, and touted prospects Michael Kopech and Dylan Cease have their own question marks — it could contend for the AL Central title.

Detroit Tigers

Manager: Ron Gardenhire (third season).

2019: 47-114, fifth place.

Training Town: Lakeland, Florida.

Park: Publix Field at Joker Marchant Stadium.

First Workout: Feb. 12/17.

He’s Here: 2B Jonathan Schoop, RHP Ivan Nova, 1B C.J. Cron, C Austin Romine, C Eric Haase, RHP Zack Godley.

He’s Outta Here: SS Ronny Rodriguez, RHP Drew VerHagen, LHP Blaine Hardy, RHP Edwin Jackson, RHP Tyson Ross, SS Gordon Beckham, LHP Matt Moore, C John Hicks, LHP Daniel Stumpf, RHP Victor Alcantara, RHP Zac Reininger, LHP Matt Hall.

Going campin’: The Tigers hope the worst is behind them in their rebuild.

Casey Mize — the No. 1 pick in the 2018 draft — headlines a highly regarded group of pitching prospects. Although the expectation is that Mize and fellow right-hander Matt Manning will start the season at Triple-A, they’ll both be at spring training as non-roster invitees along with left-hander Tarik Skubal.

So fans in Lakeland will get a preview of what they hope will be some significant rotation help down the road.

Detroit’s leader in home runs last year was Brandon Dixon, who hit only 15 and is now a non-roster invitee. In an effort to boost their anemic offense, the Tigers added Schoop and Cron, who could become mainstays on the right side of the infield.

Shortstop seems like the most likely spot for utility-man Niko Goodrum, while Jeimer Candelario and Dawel Lugo are in the mix at third base. Catching prospect Jake Rogers hit just .125 in 112 at-bats in his big league debut last year. Romine gives Detroit more experience behind the plate.
