30 Teams in 30 Days: Minnesota Twins


Much like the White Sox, the Minnesota Twins came out of nowhere last year to compete in the AL Central. Personally, I think it's written in the by-laws somewhere that if the White Sox are good that the Twins must fuck with them.

The Twins play in the insufferable Metrodome. It's also commonly known as the worst fucking baseball stadium in America. Luckily, this is the last year the team will play in the dome before moving to their new swanky outdoor shit hole. I mean really, who builds an outdoor baseball stadium in Minnesota? Have fun getting snowed for the first month of the season, assholes.

On to the roster...

SP- Francisco Liriano
SP- Scott Baker
SP- Nick Blackburn
SP- Kevin Slowey
SP- Glen Perkins
CL- Joe Nathan

C- Joe Mauer
1B- Justin Morneau
2B- Alexi Casilla
SS- Brendan Harris, Nick Punto
3B- Nick Punto, Brian Buscher
OF- Denard Span
OF- Carlos Gomez
OF- Delmon Young
DH- Jason Kubel

The Twins feature plenty of exciting young talent; especially in their pitching staff. Questions remain about the left side of their infield and their lack of power.
