Pick Your All-Time Twins Team

Over at Friarhood, a great Padres site, Steve Adler and Drew Silva put together a fun exercise. Essentially, just like in certain fantasy baseball leagues, you have a payroll for your team. Your job, should you choose to accept it, it to put together a team within your budget.

I've gone through Twins history, position-by-position, and I've done my best to pick out the five best players from eleven positions. Rankings have been adjusted for a combination of performance and legacy (things like All-Star teams and playing meaningful post-season baseball), and for the most part I've tried to stick guys at the positions where they logged the most innings while with the Twins. Mostly, it should be a list of the five best players at each position.

There are 11 positions. Your budget is $33.

In case you don't have a pen and paper handy, here's the matrix to give you a hand. What will your team look like? Also I'm sorry but I couldn't make Ron Davis worth negative dollars. My dad won't mind, though. He's a fan.
