Nobody hit more round trippers in the decade of the 60’s than the “killer” himself Harmon Killebrew. Put it down in ink that “the killer” will be hitting cleanup and crushing balls deep into the night. His old teammate Tony Oliva, who IMO is a HOF caliber player, will be in right field and hitting just in front of Killebrew. Stars of the 80’s like Kent Hrbek and Kirby Puckett will join the stars of the 60’s to make this a very potent lineup. Newly elected HOF’er Bert Blyleven will lobby for the #1 slot in a rotation that has former Cy Young award winner Frank “sweet music” Viola and everyone’s favorite lefty, Jim Kaat. “Aggie”, aka..Rick Aguliera will be the closer. Rod Carew will be at the height of his base hitting machine powers. Marvin Sik will be returning for his league record 11th straight season as Twins skipper. Next to Killebrew and Hrbek, Marvin is the most beloved figure in Twins franchise history. Prior to managing the Twins in KOD2, Marvin cut his teeth in KOD1 as a mid season replacement manager for the ‘79 Pirates.
