The Minnesota Twins have now completed 60 years of baseball. It is year 9 of putting my pet project on the WGOM site, and this year I've partnered with Seth Stohs of Twinsdaily.com to create an e-book to go along with the rankings (see details below).
2020 obviously has been a strange year and dealing with the short season has made it difficult to determine how the top300 list should be affected. Not a lot of plate appearances and innings pitched as normal, but it still was a division championship team that saw a few jumps to the list and 3 newcomers. This year's newcomers are Kenta Maeda, Randy Dobnak, and Caleb Thielbar.
In the top 100, Eddie Rosario moved up into the top50 in what could have been his final season as a Twin. He lands at #47, up 13 spots. Miguel Sano moves up 1 spot to #60 and Jorge Polanco moves up 3 spots to #62. Right on their heels are Max Kepler (up 13 spots) at #64 and Nelson Cruz (up 22 spots) at #69. Also moving up within the top100 is Byron Buxton (up 15 spots) at #78 and Jose Berrios (up 1 spot) at #82.
Zero movement in the 101-150 range as Taylor Rogers (115), Mitch Garver (130), and Jake Odorizzi (134) all stay in the same spot with disappointing seasons.
Luis Arraes jumps up 21 spots to #171 and Jake Cave moves up 2 spots to #194. Michael Pineda moves up 15 spots to #203, while Ehire Adrianza drops one spot to #206. Marwin Gonzalez moves up one spot to #219, while Trevor May and Tyler Duffey move up several spots to #253 nad #256 respectively.
Kenta Maeda is the highest ranked newcomer coming in at #223. At 66 innings pitched, he has the least amount of innings of any pitcher in the top300, but with so many accolades and top10 statistical appearances in the short season he jumped up the list pretty high for only 11 starts. Randy Dobnak (#293) and Caleb Thielbar (#296) just sneak into the top300.
Falling out of the top300 this year are Terry Muholland, Larry Casian, and Martin Perez.
I stole the idea from when Aaron Gleeman started his top40 list over a decade ago, but just decided to expand to a nice big round 300. The below quote is his, and the rest is an excerpt from a book I put together at the 50 year mark. I’ve updated the list and stats through 2020.
“The rankings only include time spent playing for the Minnesota Twins. In other words, David Ortiz doesn’t get credit for turning into one of the best players in baseball after joining the Red Sox and Paul Molitor doesn’t get credit for being one of the best players in baseball for the Brewers and Blue Jays. The Twins began playing on April 11, 1961, and that’s when these rankings start as well.”
I used a variety of factors, including longevity and peak value. Longevity included how many years the player was a Twin as well as how many plate appearances or innings pitched that player had in those years. For peak value, I looked at their stats, honors, and awards in their best seasons, as well as how they compared to their teammates. Did they lead their team in OPS or home runs or ERA for starters or WPA? If so, that got some bonus points. I factored in postseason heroics, awards (gold gloves, silver sluggers, MVPs, Cy Youngs), statistical achievements (batting titles, home run leaders, ERA champs, etc), and honors (all star appearances), and I looked at team success as well. If you were the #1 starter on a division winning champ, that gave you more points than the #1 starter on a cellar dweller. I looked at some of the advanced stats like WPA, WAR (as calculated by fan graphs and baseball-reference.com), WARP (as calculated by Baseball Prospectus), and Win Shares (as calculated by Bill James). For hitters, I also looked at OPS and the old school triple crown statistics like batting average, home runs, stolen bases, and RBI (and not only where you finished within the AL in any given year, but where you appear on the top25 lists amongst all Twins in the last 60 years). For pitchers I looked at strikeouts, innings pitched, win/loss percentage, ERA as well as ERA+). If there was a metric that was used for all 60 years of Twins history, I tried to incorporate it. I tended to give more credit to guys who were starters instead of part time/platoon players, more credit to position players over pitchers (just slightly, but probably unfairly) and starters over relievers (and closers over middle relievers). There’s no formula to my magic, just looking at a lot of factors and in the end going with the gut in all tie-breakers. Up in the top10 I’m looking at All star appearances, Cy Young and MVP votes, batting average or ERA titles or top10 finishes, etc, and placement in the top25 hitting and pitching lists in Twins history as well. In the middle 100s, it’s more about who started a few more years or had 2 good seasons rather than 1 with possibly an occasional all-star berth or top10 finish in SB or strikeouts. Once you’re in the latter half of the 200s there are none of those on anyone’s resume, so its basically just looking at peak season in OPS+ or ERA+, WAR, Win Shares, and who started the most years, had the most at bats, or pitched the most innings. What the player did as a coach, manager, or broadcaster is not taken into consideration for this list, so Billy Martin, Tom Kelly or Billy Gardner weren’t able to make the top 300 since they were poor players and Frank Quilici and Paul Molitor didn’t improve his status due to his managing career.
Feel free to pick it apart and decide in your opinion, who was slighted, and who's overrated.

Thielbar!
Dobnak snuck up there quick too.
Definitely a little strange to be adding pitchers like Dobnak and Maeda with so few innings, but they both ptiched (mostly in Dobnak's case) a full season and ended up on some leaderboards.
Thielbar was very close to the cut line on his previous stint, so his nice showing in 2020 put him in more easily.
I'm fine with it.
I'm not - isn't there someone else that could have bumped David West off the list??
#300 always seems to be an unpopular player. I thought the tortuga would for sure join the top300 this year as he as close at the end of 2019, but nope. Josh Donaldson should be knocking out Mr. West with a good few months of 2021.
Just curious: could a post-career event like Mauer entering the HOF affect ranking?
Good question. My immediate response, would be no. I didn't move Bert up when he made the HOF after years and years of debate. But, that doesn't seem right in that scenario that I would punish Bert for lack of accolades when he played, but not reward him for the accolades he got upon retirement. I made the list well after Kirby made the HOF, but would I have him #2 ahead of Carew if he didn't make the hall while Rodney did? Probably, but hard to say.
As for Mauer, I think the gap is still significant between Rod and him so that a HOF on Joe's resume wouldn't be enough to make him #3. I think the first 3 are very close and 4/5 are very close and 6-9 are very close, but I see lines after Carew and after Oliva.
Also, based on the low vote totals for recent players with shiny saber numbers, but relatively short careers (for the HOF) like Rolen and Edmonds, I can't see Joe making the HOF until maybe some type of veterans comittee push in 20+ years.
It was a hypothetical; much as I like Joe no way he supplants Rod.
I'm going to disagree on your last statement, though; Joe doesn't exactly compare with Rolen or Edwards -- even with the short career, he's still ranks very highly among all-time catchers, so I think he's got a lot more going for him than those two.
Joe is a unique case, I grant you that. We'll have to see how the traction goes when he's on the first ballot in a few years. I think his 5 best years are definitely HOF-worthy, but he's going to run into Johan Santana issues of HOF voters liking to see years 6-10 also at the elite level and he doesn't really have that.
Pussy singles hitters don't get elected to the Hall.
I so, so, so very much wish that he could have avoided the traumatic brain injuries and been able to perform at Joe Mauer levels for a couple more years as a primary catcher.
Even so, dude ranks well above the average HOF catcher on rWAR, WAR7 and JAWS. It would be ridiculous for him to not be elected.
In addition to those ranks, he did some truly historic things with batting average for a catcher (indeed, given the rarity of those feats, I'd even move him ahead of Carew... admittedly, Mauer is my generation's guy, so I'm biased).
And for as silly a thing as it is, he got robbed for a fielding grammy at 1B, which would have moved his case forward even more.
No way Joe's over Rod. Forget a single position -- only three players period have more BA titles than Carew.
I ain't here to badmouth Carew. He was clearly a great player. But his accomplishments don't stand out as unique in my mind. I mean, if we're talking BA, he's 34th overall in baseball career BA.
And you absolutely have to take into consideration positions - especially catcher. You wrongly diminish Mauer by forgetting the position. Not to mention, Mauer was good defensively while accomplishing what he did with the bat.
No, that's not what I'm saying. I'm not diminishing Joe's position; Carew's overall accomplishments stand up regardless of position. And we're talking about Twins ranking here: Rod is #1 BA, #1 WAR, #1 OB%, and this is including the Senators.
It's obviously somewhat arbitrary, but I think Joe's accomplishments stand out as unique. It is certainly a much closer call than I think your repeated (and seemingly emphatic) "no way"s would imply.
No way!
btw, Carew is ranked as the 6th best second baseman all-time (vs. Joe's 7th at catcher) and his peak is 25% higher than Joe's.
Bytheway, if you want to pick nits with a largely statistical argument, it would see Puckett would be the easier target than Carew for Mauer to leapfrog.
I had had the thought, and agree with it. I'd be comfortable with Mauer as #2. 😉
As someone who's spent the better part of a decade arguing for Mauer's greatness I love that someone else thinks I have him underrated. I just can't really consider him for the top3, he doesn't have the same resume as Carew/Killer or the "flags fly forever" moments like Puck.
