The Minnesota Twins may be the best baseball team in the world, but they can’t seem to find what it takes to make it to the big kahuna, the World Series that is. For the second straight year, the Twins fail to extend their post season. After the 2001 season, the Twins didn’t even know if they were going to be a team. Baseball commissioner Bud Selig had an evil plan to contract two “non-contending” Major League Baseball teams. ... But this scare did not phase the Twins! ... The Twins shut up all the critics by dethroning the Cleveland Indians and claiming the division title for the first time since 1991. The Twins marched on to the playoffs that year with an outstanding 94-68 record. After a thrilling game 7 win over the heavily favored Oakland Athletics, the Minnesota Twins were within one round of the big series. ...
The Twins put up another fight in 2003 winning 90 games and claiming a second straight AL Central Division title. But this time the Yankees stood in their way and they wanted nothing to do with the Twins getting to the big series. So, for the second straight year the Twins post season was finished early. ... So, will the Twins have what it takes to claim another division title and make a run to the World Series? You first must analyze and look at the certain details that make up a good baseball team. The Minnesota Twins can be analyzed based on their franchise history and also how they match up to the rest of Major League Baseball by looking at statistical comparisons and the roster for the upcoming season.
