Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we maintain and update our existing Top 50 lists annually.  We are pleased to present our pre-2026 revision of our top 50 Minnesota Twins.

As for all of our top 50 players in baseball, we look at the following: 

1.  Duration and Impact.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the Major League Baseball.

3.  Advanced Statistics.

4.  Playoff performance.

5. Their respective legacy on the team.

6. How successful the team was when he was there.

7. Respecting the era in which they played.

Criteria 1-4 will make up the lion’s share of the algorithm.  Please note that we have implemented this for the first time.  This has changed the rankings all throughout the board.

Last year, the Twins had a poor season, winning only 70 games and finishing fourth in the American League Central.  There were changes within the Top 50, with only one active player moving up the list.  The new algorithm did see a past player reclaim a spot on the list.

As always, we present our top five, which saw no changes.

*Reminder, this list includes the shared history of the Washington Senators.

1. Walter Johnson
2. Harmon Killebrew
3. Rod Carew
4. Kirby Puckett
5. Joe Mauer

You can find the entire list here.

Byron Buxton is the only active player who moved up the list.  He went from #40 to #31.

The new algorithm brought Earl Battey back (at #47) and pushed Max Kepler off the Top 50.

We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.
