What happened to the Minnesota Twins in 2016? It’s a fair question. Minnesota notched a mark of 83-79 in 2015, their best overall record since 2010, and was in position to earn a wild card spot until the penultimate game of the season. Then in 2016 the bottom completely fell out. The Twins plummeted into the AL Central basement and lost a major-league high 103 games. [+]

Which team is the real Twins? Probably neither. Minnesota isn’t as awful as the Twins looked in 2016 but they also aren’t contenders for postseason play. Expect another tough year in the Twin Cities but perhaps not another horrific summer.

Even terrible teams have some talent and in Minnesota, the straw that stirs the drink is second baseman Brian Dozier. 

Dozier clouted 42 home runs in 2016, drove in 99 runs and fashioned an POS of .886. He also scored 104 runs and collected 336 total bases.

Pitching was Minnesota's Nemesis

When scouring for the main source of the Twins' downfall, while their overall hitting was below average, Minnesota's pitching staff was absolutely abysmal.

The Twins posted an American League-worst 5.09 earned-run average, and the Minnesota bullpen's ERA of 4.63 was also at the bottom of the league.
