First let me preface this by saying that I realize that Spring Training results and stats are practically meaningless. But with this in mind here are some raw data from the spring along with a ranking of the 30 organizations.

• OPS – Twins 20^th with a .739 OBP

• OBP – Twins 19^th with a .336 OBP

• SLG – Twins 18^th with a .403 SLG

• Batg. Avg. – Twins 20^th with .250

• HR’s – Twins 12^th with 19

• 2B’s – Twins 24^th with 20

• 3B’s – Twins 29^th with 0

• SB – Twins 9^th with 15

• CS – Twins 12^th with 4

• BB – Twins 24^th with 55

All of these are not surprising. They are not showing a dominating offense at this time. A few of their players are struggling. But here is the eye opener.

• K’s – Twins 30^th (best) with 111 in 501 AB over 15 games

What great news for a team that at times has not been able to put the bat on the ball, especially when it was really needed.

I’m hoping that this continues into the regular season.
