For the Minnesota Twins it has always been about defense and pitching, which is why expectations for the team have been rather low over the past few seasons.
The Twins have consistently ranked toward the bottom of the league over the past six seasons in team ERA, runs allowed, quality starts and strikeouts.
However, with manager Paul Molitor entering his second season and a youth movement that has the team and its fans excited for a promising future, it seems the Twins’ focus has been less on what brought them success when they were winning division titles in the 2000’s and more on what the highlight reels really enjoy showing.
