Many of them were rookies. So, who would get your vote for the top performing rookie on the team in 2013? To keep it somewhat limited, I only looked at those rookies that were with the team for long enough that the...2091Thu, 03 Oct 2013 07:02:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/season-wrap-up-r2090/Now that the season is over, I thought I would return to write down a few of my thoughts regarding this season. Third 90+ loss season in a row Yes, the Twins have once again lost over 90 games, after showing the possibility of maybe winning 70 even at the beginning of September.
