It’s cold. It’s snowy. And rather than shovel my sidewalk and driveway like the responsible homeowner I’m not, I figured I’d mock draft a fantasy baseball team comprised completely of Minnesota Twins. Did I mention I’m bored?
Here’s what the fantasy baseball gods at FantasyPros think of our 2019 ball club.

An F. A big fat F. WTF? Now, there are a couple of caveats regarding this super-scientific analysis. Here are the most important takeaways:
- I was allowed to roster just 24 men. One can only imagine the uptick in draft grade had I been able to add, say, a Zack Granite to the mix.
- FantasyPros took it upon themselves to slot in players. Hence, Sanó manning first base, Marwin Gonzalez roaming the outfield in favor of Kepler, etc.
- This is fantasy. Not reality. However, with that in mind, I give the 2019 Minnesota Twins roster a C grade. For the record, I’m generally pleased by the signings of Nelson Cruz, Schoop, Marwin Gonzalez and, yes, even C.J. Cron. But I can’t believe in a team that believes Kyle Gibson is a legit #2.
