The Minnesota Twins have some great writers covering them. “Linking around Twins Territory” is small a collection in one place for Puckett’s Pond readers.

One of the greatest things about writing about the Minnesota Twins at Puckett’s Pond is that we are no different than most of you reading us. We are fans. And like you, we are reading all the other great content that is being written about our favorite team the Twins.

Below is a collection of some of the most recent pieces being written around Twins Territory. Enjoy!

There are few things more exciting in baseball than when a minor league player gets that first big call-up to the majors. There is something absolutely pure in a world that rarely is that about a guy getting his first shot at his dream. The only unfortunate thing, in this case, is since the Twins were pretty bad they had quite a few of those debuts and Seth Stohs takes a look at eight of those players did in their first taste in the majors.

If you follow the Twins there is a good chance that you follow Brandon Warne. He recently asked all of his Twitter followers to submit questions for a Question and Answer post. There is quite a few great responses throughout the post that I encourage you to go take a look at.

Even though we did nearly a whole post on links that covered takes on Nelson Cruz recently, we had to squeeze just one more into the mix. Charlie Gillmer gives his thoughts at The Runner Sports on the Twins big signing and lists out some Pros and Cons as the Twins add the veteran slugger. For what it is worth, I believe the Pros far outweigh the Cons.

As we close out the year of 2018 and turn the calendar to 2019, Benjamin Chase (formerly of Puckett’s Pond) of Call to the Pen wrote up his review of the Twins season. As the title explains, the good, the bad, and the ugly of the season that we recently finished taking in.
