A Helpful Guide To Your New Favorite Twins

Last fall, we went deep into the fan's psyche to discover what your favorite Twin says about you. Unfortunately, some of those players have since left town; those of you who loved Matt Tolbert (and have gone into debt to buy pull tabs) are in the market for a new favorite player.

Well, we here at Twinkie Town consider our site to be one of the premier educational resources available today, right up there with a World Book encyclopedia from 1984 and your uncle Chuck who did two semesters at Iowa State before he got caught selling stolen cigarettes out of the back of his Pinto and was expelled. And so we've studied each of the newest Twins to try to find out what kind of person might like him. Below, a handy guide.

(Editor's note: the three spots at the back end of the Twins' bullpen are in a state of flux. These spots could be filled by players that are known to fans like Kyle Waldrop, or guys signed over the winter that nobody anywhere has ever heard of before last December, like Terry Doyle. As such, the next paragraph is written for any of these players. To represent them all, we'll use the king of the fifth-inning relievers, Mr. Palmball himself, Tony Fiore.)
