The Minnesota Twins are tied atop the AL Central at 6-3. Let’s take a look at who’s helping the team find success and who’s holding them back.

Considering the Minnesota Twins started the 2016 campaign 0-9, holding a 6-3 record thus far is a huge accomplishment to begin the year. The offense is looking good and is helping the Twins pull out victories even when the opponent is hitting well also.

The long ball has been a friend to the Minnesota Twins early in the year. The Twins have hit nine home-runs in 9 games this season, and are showing no signs of slowing down. Even with the strong offense, there are some players that seem to be holding the team back from being even better.

In this early season edition of “who’s hot and who’s not” we will look at who’s helping the Twins find offensive success and who’s at-bats are only hurting them. Without further ado, let’s get started.
