The2000 Minnesota Twins seasonwas the 40th season for theMinnesota Twins franchise in theTwin Cities ofMinnesota, their 19th season atHubert H. Humphrey Metrodome and the 100th overall in theAmerican League.

The Twins compiled a record of 69–93 during the2000 Major League Baseball season. It was the team's last of a consecutive string record of eight losing seasons and it was characterized with weak hitting but slightly better pitching. The team was managed byTom Kelly and contained the nucleus of future managerRon Gardenhire's team that would reach the postseason only two years later.

Offseason

Regular season

Offense

[edit]

The most solid offensive year came from the team's lone all-star representative, right fielderMatt Lawton. Lawton hit .305 with 13 home runs, 88 RBI, and 23 stolen bases. Also notable this year were shortstopCristian Guzmán's major league leading 20 triples (a Twins record). Like most of his career with the Twins,David Ortiz spent much of the 2000 season rehabbing injuries. He did, however, play in 88 games as the team's designated hitter. The Twins also experimented withButch Huskey in the DH spot. Not surprisingly, this was not a successful experiment, with Huskey playing in only 39 games at the position.

Pitching

[edit]

The starting rotation showed flashes of brilliance withBrad Radke,Eric Milton,Mark Redman, andJoe Mays in for most of the year. Radke, Milton, and Redman all had ERAs of under 5. The fifth starter was uncertain, withSean Bergman making 14 starts, andJ. C. Romero making 11. Romero's ERA of 7.02 did not suggest the dominant reliever he would subsequently become.

Despite uncertainty as to the identity of the closer, the bullpen was stellar.LaTroy Hawkins,Bob Wells,Eddie Guardado,Travis Miller, andHéctor Carrasco all had strong years out of the bullpen. Hawkins led the club with 14 saves.

One notable presence among the pitching staff was rookieJohan Santana, acquired from theHouston Astros via theFlorida Marlins in theRule 5 draft. In order for the Twins to keep Santana under Rule 5, Santana was required to stay on the major league roster for the entire season. He did, and his numbers did nothing to suggest he would one day win aCy Young Award. His ERA was 6.49 and he struck out 64 batters in 86 innings. He was used almost exclusively in mop-up roles, although he did start five games. He spent most of the2001 season in the minor leagues. The Twins' foresight in keeping him on the roster during the 2000 season must be regarded as one of the greatest uses ever of the Rule 5 draft.

Defense

[edit]

The infield was mostly steady withRon Coomer at first,Jay Canizaro at second, Guzman at short,Corey Koskie at third, andDenny Hocking backing them all up. The 2000 season saw the inception of the "Soul Patrol" outfield ofJacque Jones,Torii Hunter, and Lawton. Nobody was able to establish himself as the everyday catcher, withMatt LeCroy playing in 48 games at the position,Chad Moeller in 40,Marcus Jensen in 37,A. J. Pierzynski in 27, andDanny Ardoin in 10.
