Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team.  That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity.  As such, we are very happy to present our post 2022 revision of our top 50 Minnesota Twins.

As for all of our top 50 players in baseball we look at the following:

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the American League.

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, Minnesota had a decent year, though was mildly disappointing.  There is one new entrant into the top 50, with no other fluctuation.

As always, we present our top five, which had no changes.

1. Walter Johnson

2. Rod Carew

3. Harmon Killebrew

3. Kirby Puckett

5. Joe Mauer

You can find the entire list here.

The only new entry is Outfielder, Byron Buxton, who enters at #47, who knocks out Bump Hadley from the Top 50.  Notably, Max Kepler and Jorge Polanco almost made this portion of the list.

We welcome your input and comments and as always, we thank you for your support.

Again, did we ever say this would be fast?

We here at Notinhalloffame.com have completed our next all-time top 50, this time that of the Minnesota Twins.

As for all of our top 50 players in baseball we look at the following:

1. Sabremetric tallies while with that team, mostly WAR.

2. Traditional metrics and how they finished in their respective league overall.

3. Playoff accomplishment.

4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.

Remember, this is ONLY based on what a player does on that particular team and not what he accomplished elsewhere and also note that we have placed an increased importance on the first two categories.

Here is something else worth noting: While the Minnesota Twins really don’t acknowledge much of their Washington Senators past, this is part of it according to the official history of the organization according to Major League Baseball. The Minnesota Twins Hall of Fame may not have any Senators in it, but this list does…until MLB tells us not to recognize this as franchise history.

The complete list can be found here, but as always we announce our top five in our news. They are:

1. Walter Johnson

2. Rod Carew

3. Harmon Killebrew

4. Kirby Puckett

5. Joe Mauer

So which team is up next?

The New York Yankees, the most successful team in North American team sports. Look for that in a week.

As always, we here at Notinhalloffame.com thank you for your support.

“The Big Train”, Walter Johnson is not just the greatest Pitcher in Washington Senators/Minnesota Twins history.  He has a case as the greatest Pitcher of all time.

Johnson only played for the Washington Senators and his accomplishments are earth shattering:
