Hey everyone! We at Zone Coverage — in the spirit of March Madness — are doing a bracket to determine who you all think is the best Minnesota Twins player of all-time.
As your host, I’ve chosen the eight best Twins pitchers of all-time and the seven best hitters of all-time — with a play-in game to determine No. 8 — and have put them in the brackets without at random without seeding to avoid any attempt at my bias or to sway the voters.
Here are the pitching matchups, so please head over to twitter and vote!
