Fantasy baseball: 2020 Minnesota Twins fantasy preview
By Mike Marteny
30 teams in 120 days of quarantine: Minnesota Twins fantasy preview
The wait is almost over! Fantasy baseball returns this week, and most of you are getting ready for draft day. I’m here to help! This series of baseball previews is down to the last four!
Most of you, like me, have played DFS for quite some time. We have never seen anything like this before. A bare lobby. No upcoming contests. E-Sports touts are in hog heaven. Even most DFS touts are trying to become E-Sports touts. It’s nuts!
Most of you, also like me, still play season-long fantasy baseball. Some for money. Some not. Some just because it’s the only interaction you have with some friends anymore. Whatever the case, we can use this break in DFS to get us polished up for our fantasy baseball drafts, whenever those may be.
We started at the bottom and are slowly moving up. The Minnesota Twins set a major league record with 307 home runs last season. They also won 101 games, the fourth most in the majors and second most in team history. The 1965 team that lost to Sandy Koufax and the Dodgers in the World Series that year still holds the record with 102 wins.
The Twins promise to be among the top home run hitting teams again, especially with the addition of Josh Donaldson. What about the rest of them?
Here we will examine the Minnesota Twins projected lineup and rotation, and who to draft and in what general spot. We will also take a look at prospects that could make their debuts and have a fantasy impact in 2020. The 2019 stats are in parentheses. Let’s get started!
