The Minnesota Twins are 9-10 and are in the middle of a slump. Let’s highlight who’s been helping or hurting the Twins lately.

After a 5-1 start, the Minnesota Twins have cooled off quite a bit. After the hot start, the Twins have gone 4-9 and are really struggling to hit the ball. Besides the likes of Ervin Santana, the pitching hasn’t been much better.

While slumping, the Twins have had a few bright spots. It’s not all been bad. As a whole, the Minnesota Twins absolutely need to improve, though. Right now, they are sitting at number 4 in the AL Central and on the verge of slipping into the cellar of their division.

Now, three weeks into the season, we will do our second version of the Minnesota Twins’ “hot or not” segment. We will take a look at who’s been most helping the Twins and who’s been hurting them lately.
