A look at the Minnesota Twins with fantasy Baseball in mind. Basic Stats: Final Record: 85-77 Runs: 7th Home Runs: 16th Stolen Bases: 9th ERA: 19th Saves: 12th Strikeouts: 29th We kick off the playoff teams with the first team eliminated in the 2017 Postseason, the Twins . A great story for Minnesota in 2017 as they go from the worst team in 2016, to a playoff team trending in the right direction. A balanced offensive unit backs a below average pitching staff with one of the worst strikeout totals in Baseball last season. Will this change in 2018? Let’s take a look towards 2018. The Superstar: Brian Dozier The Twins best player in 2017 was the same guy who was their best player in 2016. Dozier has been pretty consistent in terms of production over the past several seasons. Since 2013, Dozier averages 29 HR 16 SB 81 RBI 99 R and a .252 batting average. He’s had at least 101 runs every season since 2014. Expect similar numbers in 2018 which makes Dozier a safe bet as a top 40 player in fantasy Baseball. The Sleeper: Ervin Santana Santana is an interesting player heading into 2018. The now 35-year-old SP is coming off perhaps his best season in his 13 year career where he finished as the #12 SP in fantasy. Why is he being ranked outside the top 200? top 250 in other places? I get the strikeout rate (7.1K/9) is tough in todays landscape. Ask Santana’s owners in 2017 if they were hurt by owning him? I’m guessing that’s a no. Santana ...
