First Ice-Mike

Recommended Posts

Here are my picks:

1B- Morneau - tough pick between him and Hrbek

2B- Knoblauch

3B- Gaetti

SS- Gagne - Favorite Twin Player

OF- Puckett, Hunter, Gladden

C- Mauer

SP- Viola, Santana, Blyleven

RP- Nathan and Aguilera

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

1st Hrbek, Morneau obviously deserving as well

2nd Kboblauch

3rd Gaetti

SS Gagne, but would have been Guzman had he played more years

OF Pucket, Hunter, Bruno. Gladden and Jones are close

Here's some questions for you old farts.

Puckett or Allison (Hmm tougher)

Pitchers Viola or Mudcat Grant

Santana or Kaat

(gets tougher again don't it)

Any others bring the bigger question?

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 yet

2B- Chuck Knoblauch(dome) Rod Carew(all-time)

SS- Greg Gagne or Zoilo Versailles all-time
