The Best We Ever Had?

[Nosferatu]

I'm curious as to who y'all think is the best player the Twins have ever had.

I was a huge Killebrew fan as a kid. Living in California I didn't get to see him play very often, but being a paperboy, the first thing I did every morning at 4:30am was open the sports page and checkout the box scores for the Twins. I remember checking out the HR leaders in the AL and seeing how the Killer was doing against Boog, Howard, and eventually some upstart named Reggie Jackson.

and then again, there was game six....

I gotta go with Puck since that's the guy I always watched as a kid.

I can still hear the announcer call his name...

Doug Mientkiewicz

Good thing we kept him and got rid of Big Pappy.

I went with Puckett. Reason being, he was the total package. Hit for average, power and played a gold glove center field. Obviously a leader in the clubhouse as well.

Actually I believe we kept Matt LeCroy instead of David Ortiz. Ortiz first year in Boston was 2003, Mientkiewicz ended up n Boston in 2004.

Rod Carew. But I always had a soft spot for Bert. Hell, if Johan had gotten another 3-4 years in Twins stripes, it might have been him.
