All time Twin Silver Sluggers

[mikelink45]

Arraez getting utility Silver Slugger, which is a position in Silver Slugger history I have never heard of makes me wonder who gets the Silver Slugger for each position (not career, but one year).

Give Utility to Arraez

DH - Cruz

C - Mauer

1B - Killebrew

2B - Carew - sorry Knoblauch

SS - Versalles

3B - Castino

OF - Oliva, Puckett, Bostock 

P - Kaat 

What are your choices

1988 Gary Gaetti blows anything Castino has done out of the water.  We are talking about 1 good season instead of career, right?  Since Bostock had an awesome season with the Twins before going to the Angels.

What would also be interesting, since the silver slugger didn't start getting awarded until 1980.  What would be the Twins Silver Sluggers from each position since 1980???
