    Sorry, didn't invest the time to watch a video, but I'll offer the quick opinion that at his present pace he'll come in somewhere around 5th all-time among Twins seasons (not Senators).  Kirby had a monster year in '88, Mauer in '09, Knoblauch in '96, and of course Carew twice '75/'77.  This factors in defense which is a great portion of Byron's value - so Killebrew suffers by the modern view of value.

    Just by offense alone (OPS+) he could continue at his present pace and be top-20, and Harmon earns his place far above (along with Joe and Sir Rodney).  But that's not enough to define Byron's "Best".
