My question for Abe is, how exactly will his career end up going wrong?

He will have an amazing year, and the Twins will trade him away to the Miami Marlins for a 12th round pick.

5 of the top 7 rankings are SS?

Either this list overrates a particular position or SS is about to become stacked in the MLB

They'll force him to be an opposite-field slap hitter? Same with Miguel Sano.

Sucks to be a Twins fan. They will suck for many more years. Twins have zero pitching.

To put things in perspective... many Twins fans are also Timberwolves fans.

Things could be worse.

Yeah. Buxton and Sano are very needed shots in the arm for the franchise.

The Twins suck now but they were a great team throughout the 2000s. As a Sox fan I hated when they played those pesky Twin teams. Looks like the outdoors killed the teams small ball aspect

It's rare when one play can be used to define a season. But Torii Hunter destroying Jamie Burke at home plate changed the 2004 season for the Twins. And the 2005 season for the White Sox. They brought in Pierzynski, developed an edge of their own, and won the title.
