Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team.  That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity.  As such, we are very happy to present our post 2023 revision of our top 50 Minnesota Twins.

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

1.  Advanced Statistics.

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

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, the Twins made the playoffs but did not go very far as they were eliminated in the first round.  There were no new entrants, and one elevation.

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

1. Walter Johnson

2. Rod Carew

3. Harmon Killebrew

4. Kirby Puckett

5. Joe Mauer

 

You can find the entire list here.

The only change was Byron Buxton, who rose wo spots to #45.

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

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

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.

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

1. Giancarlo Stanton

2. Hanley Ramirez

3. Josh Johnson

4. Luis Castillo

5. Miguel Cabrera

Of note, former Cy Young winner, Sandy Alcantara remained at #7.

The only elevation was Jon Berti, who climbed to #34 from #50.  The new entries are Jazz Chisholm and Luis Arraez who debut at #41 and #44 respectively.

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

We are very aware that Luis Arraez has only been with Miami for one year, but as we have said before:

The Marlins have not been around long.
They don’t keep good players when it is time for them to get paid.

As such, Arraez is here after a season where he eclipsed what he did in his last year in Minnesota, where he also won a Batting Title but did so after flirting with .400 (he finished with .354). He also had an OPS of .861, which was impressive for a man with only 10 Home Runs. Arraez also went to his second All-Star, won his second Silver Slugger, and was eighth in MVP voting.

Arraez would win another Batting Title in 2024, but most of that was as a San Diego Padre, as he was traded early in the season.

Jazz Chisholm, who debuted for Miami in 2020, is one of the most entertaining baseball players to watch. He is also one of the fastest players to ever grace the diamond. In 2021, Chisholm became the permanent Second Baseman and had a decent year, collecting 115 hits, 18 home runs and 23 stolen bases. He was named to the All-Star Game the following year, but unfortunately, an injury took him out of the mid-season contest and the rest of the year. Injuries continued to plague him in 2023, with Chisholm appearing in only 97 games. However, he still managed to steal 22 bases and hit 19 home runs.

The speedster became another victim of ths short-sighted Marline, as he was traded to the Yankees during the 2024 Season.  He amassed 362 Hits and 81 Stolen Bases with the Marlins.
