Jarrod32 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 You get to vote 25 times...not all my ballots were the same.1B...you're right. Tough call between Morneau and Hrbek. Hrbek was there longer, and has the 2 World Series. My ballots were split between these two...most going to Hrbek. I also threw a couple votes for Mientkiewitz...there was about a year and a half that the guy dominated the "Web Gems" segment on Baseball Tonight.2B...Knoblauch.3B...Gaetti. SS...Gotta give a mention to Guzman...for the "All Metrodome" team, the guy had a lot of turf hits and triples...my ballots were split between Gagne and Guzman.C...Mauer is the best, but some of my ballots had Laudner...for posterity.SP...Santana, Viola, Blyleven, Radke...my ballots were split among these four. Radke was there, every fifth game, for a loooong time.RP...Nathan and Aguilera, but a few of my ballots had Reardon.DH...Mostly Molitor, with a few ballots for Chili Davis.edit: completely forgot the outfield...Kirby, Torii, and Gladden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solbes Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 1st Hrbek, Morneau obviously deserving as well2nd Kboblauch3rd GaettiSS Gagne, but would have been Guzman had he played more years C Mauer, some to HarperOF Pucket, Hunter, Bruno. Gladden and Jones are closeSP Santana, Viola, RadkeRP Nathan, AguileraDH Davis and Molitor.

DoubleLunger Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Brian Harper as catcher. Mauer if he can stay healthy for a few more years without a dought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UdeLakeTom Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 My son thought about Ortiz, but thought some might mix up Jr. with David...All I remember about Borders, is he was supposed to get us over the hump that year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wookiee Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 C- Brian Harper and Joe Mauer is definitely on his way to be one of the faces of the Twins but not yet its too soon and needs to prove he can stay healthy.1B- Kent Hrbek (all-time and dome) Morneau is definitely on his way though but not yet2B- Chuck Knoblauch(dome) Rod Carew(all-time)SS- Greg Gagne or Zoilo Versailles all-time3B- Gary Gaetti just dome definitely a better fielder than Harmon Killebrew all-time OF- Kirby Puckett, Torii Hunter, Tom Brunansky(Just dome), Tony Oliva(All time)DH- Paul Molitor or Chili DavisSP- Johan Santana(All time and dome), Frank Viola(dome only), Kevin Tapani(dome only), Jim Kaat(all time), Dean Chance or Jim Perry or Bert Blyleven(all-time)RP- Rick Aguilera(dome), Joe Nathan(all-time and dome), Ron Perranoski(all-time)PH- Randy BushManager- Tom Kelly (All time) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jarrod32 Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Carew probably did...he played with the Angels until the early to mid '80s, didn't he? But it would have been as an Angel... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
