by Cloud City Twinkies on Feb 17, 2009 10:28 AM EST

With Minnesota set to say its long goodbye to the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome this season, it's time to determine the greatest players the Twins have placed under the Teflon Confines, position-by-position.

Four roster spots have been determined so far -- closer, first base, third base and shortstop -- with Joe Nathan, Justin Morneau, Gary Gaetti and Greg Gagne earning the nods.

Now we move on to DH, a spot that features a man who resurrected his career with the Twins, one who realized his potential after leaving Minnesota and a pair of local boys.

So, who you got?

Depressing that these are our choices, really. I went with Mind over heart and took Molly.

Gotta go with Chili

He certainly had the best season of any Twins DH in the baggie years. And the championship is icing on the cake. Molitor had a good year RBI wise, but that was mostly because he hit with Knobby on base in front of him twice a game.
