Tue, 15 May 2012 11:30:27 -0700 The Minnesota Twins will continue to give playing time to INFs Trevor Plouffe, Jamey Carroll and Alexi Casilla at third base while 3B Danny Valencia works in the minors. "We're just playing everybody," manager Ron Gardenhire said. "Valencia is down in Triple-A trying to get his stuff right. Plouffe is up here trying to get his stuff right here. So we don't have a total solution. We have people we're going to try to mix and match." Casilla has more work to do at third base, and he's played third just eight times in his career.
Wed, 09 May 2012 20:40:13 -0700 The Minnesota Twins optioned 3B Danny Valencia to Triple-A Rochester Wednesday, May 9.
Tue, 08 May 2012 16:45:12 -0700 Minnesota Twins manager Ron Gardenhire doesn't plan to bench slumping 3B Danny Valencia. Valencia is hitless in 17 at-bats in May and is hitting .207 with an OPS of .536 on the season. "I've given Danny a couple days," Gardenhire said. "He's good to go. Danny's ready to play. I don't think he needs a day to relax. I know he's pressing a little bit, trying to get hits like everybody else in our lineup. But a good two-hit day would probably make him feel pretty good about himself."
Fri, 04 May 2012 13:46:19 -0700 The Tampa Bay Rays are searching for a versatile player that they could move into another role when 3B Evan Longoria (hamstring) returns from his injury. However, the only third basemen that are known to be available are Baltimore Orioles 3B Mark Reynolds and Minnesota Twins 3B Danny Valencia.
Fri, 27 Apr 2012 12:17:51 -0700 The Minnesota Twins are interested in signing free-agent 3B Brandon Inge (Tigers), and they could use him as part of a platoon at third base with 3B Sean Burroughs, which would send 3B Danny Valencia to Triple-A Rochester for more seasoning.
Mon, 12 Mar 2012 14:23:21 -0700 Minnesota Twins 3B Danny Valencia is hitting .353 with two home runs and five RBIs in six spring games, and he's also looked comfortable on defense at third base. "Danny has been working at it," manager Ron Gardenhire said. He has two doubles to right field already after putting an emphasis on driving the ball the other way. "He's attacking the ball a lot lower," manager Ron Gardenhire said. "His legs are underneath him a lot better. The big thing with us is not standing up and going after a ball. He's staying low now. He's using his legs a lot better. That will help his movement automatically, because he's going to be closer to the ground rather than standing straight up in the air and having to go back down."
Sat, 03 Mar 2012 18:06:01 -0800 Minnesota Twins 3B Danny Valencia had a double to the gap in right field in the fourth inning Saturday, March 3, in Grapefruit League action against the Tampa Bay Rays. He had only three extra-base hits to opposite field in 2011.
Tue, 28 Feb 2012 15:05:43 -0800 Minnesota Twins SP Francisco Liriano said he felt great during his live throwing session Tuesday, Feb. 28, despite plunking 3B Danny Valencia and allowing a homer to 1B Justin Morneau. He will start one of the split-squad games Sunday, March 4.
Sun, 29 Jan 2012 16:52:58 -0800 Minnesota Twins 3B Danny Valencia studied video of his defense last year, in which he committed 18 errors, the most by a third baseman in team history since 1990. "I had a couple false steps when I would move (leaving his head out of position)," Valencia said. "I also realized I could set up a little earlier and stay lower defensively." He made corrections mechanically and worked to improve his speed and agility this offseason. He also studied his at-bats and made a small change concerning his hands; he is now bringing his hands straight back in his swing, giving him a much straighter path to the ball instead of trapping his hands toward his body, forcing a longer swing.
Sat, 24 Sep 2011 09:56:32 -0700 Minnesota Twins 3B Danny Valencia and OF Denard Span are in the starting lineup for the first game of a doubleheader against the Cleveland Indians Saturday, Sept. 24.
