30 MLB Teams in 30 Posts - 2022 Edition: #10

Welcome back to the next post in my 30 MLB Teams in 30 Posts countdown (plus the contest - see the bottom of the post for details on that).

#10:  Minnesota Twins (Previous Rankings - 2019, 2020: #15, 9)


We've finally reached the top 10 best teams in MLB as decided by me.  This year, the Twins fell back one spot from my last ranking but they still kept a toe inside the top 10 which is good enough!  Minnesota is one of those teams where I basically think of a single player (Joe Mauer) and then wonder who else they have playing for them.  I rarely watch Twins games - but I would like to make it up to Minnesota some day to catch a game in their ballpark!  Maybe then I'll know who plays for the team?

Actually, I do know a few Twins (Byron Buxton is a favorite when he's healthy, for example).  Also, Correa is a fun addition to that team and I have Jose Miranda on my fantasy team and he's supposed to be pretty good for the Twins this year (he hasn't been great thus far, but I'm still hoping).

  1. Going with Pirates this time. As an aside, I LOVE the designation of AL umpire in that Lenny Webster card. I miss the days of umpires being assigned to a specific league.

  3. For a moment your opening made me think Joe Mauer was somehow still playing.

    Going to say the Pirates again. Maybe this time.
