I have no idea how to play or even what all the rules are, but if you choose the best season from a player from each position my team would look something like this:BigRedLedbetter wrote: Mabe we can sweet talk PHATJ into running a Twins team? We need lament's handsomeness, chud's negotiation skills and the muscle of skitch to talk him into it.

If you look at those seasons there are several MVP awards and most of those years have 1.000+ OPS. I hadn't even thought about pitching. Also, there are guys from the Senators that I didn't include that had even better seasons. I didn't include them because I don't really consider them Twins.BigRedLedbetter wrote:Pretty damn good team.

His penchant for giving up homers was so notorious that one 90's Sega video game claimed its action was “Real as Radke” and featured Radke watching homeruns sail out of the park.philpritchard wrote:I just remember the wicked changeup.PHATJ wrote:I liked him too, but he loved giving up first inning home runs.philpritchard wrote:I loved Brad Radke.

1997 was Radke’s breakout year, when he went 20-10 (winning nearly 30% of the Twins’ 68 wins), with a 3.87 ERA and a career-high 174 Ks in 240 innings. He also started a MLB-high 35 games. He finished in the top 25 in MVP voting and was third in the AL Cy Young voting behind Roger Clemens and Randy Johnson. He also won 12 consecutive games in 12 consecutive starts, only the third player since 1950 to accomplish the task.
