The Twins themselves are about where I thought they would be. Joe Mauer is a superstar, but the rest of the team is ordinary.
I am more intrigued with minor prospects Bryon Buxton, Miguel Sano, Oswaldo Arcia, Kyle Gibson, Alex Meyer, Eddie Rosario, Trevor May, Jorge Polanco, Max Kepler, and Jose Berrios. All have the look of stars with Buxton, Sano, Arcia, Rosario, and Meyer looking like potential superstars.
I now have signed baseball cards from 466 current and former Minnesota Twins. I also have signed cards from all the top prospects except for Buxton. I have signed cards from all 25 current Twins including Aaron Hicks, Pedro Hernandez, and Eduardo Escobar all of three which I got as minor leaguers.
Since my last post here is what I have gotten via TTM (names highlighted in bold are first-time successes).

was really friendly, and talked with people for several minutes which made
spending the money to get his autograph more worthwhile.
