Ding Ding Ding. 

That was quick.  Really pretty amazing considering the relatively short time he played here.

Wrong on the other guesses though.  Keep trying.  Matt's OBP question really is a great one.

OBP should give you a good indication on the AVG, Ed.

He's number one in trips to the pitching mound by a positional player other than the catcher.

Thanks for telling me my question was a great one, Dustin.  I agree.  I am great.

I figured Mauer would be tricky because of the plate appearance minimum...and also because what's right in front of your eyes is sometimes easily overlooked. 

Carew and Knoblauch...pretty easy.

Lawton shouldn't be all that surprising, but when you consider all the great players who have played for the Twins, his name certainly doesn't top many people's lists.  Roids don't directly help plate discipline...it has to be learned.

Oops...wrong.  I just checked.  Didn't know the true #4 had enough Twins plate appearances.

 My OBP choices were

Carew
Knobby in that order and then I had
Killer with a ?

This before I looked.  I had dismissed Mauer....I didn't know he had met the 2000 at plate appearances.

Matt Lawton was the surprise at fourth.

But Killer comes in at 5th with all those walks.

He must be the all time leader in ops with his 514 slugging and 378 obp.

And refresh my memory....why did Shane Mack sign a 3 year deal with the Japanese league after the 94 season?????  Was the Twins offer so pathetic?

Again, I get #4 wrong.  Oliva must be #5.  Oliva had 34 fewer runs than #4.  Not shocked by #4....but a little bit surprising.

Oliva is #5 after the #4 guy.

Status: offline 		Piggybacking off Miles saying Killebrew must be #1 with OPS...

Name the Top 5.

Killebrew is #1 by a mile.

I am very surprised by #4 leading #5.  Similar players, though it seems like #5 had so much better batting averages than #4, that his OPS would be higher, considering similar power.

 One guy that has to be in there is Shane Mack.

I am going to try:

1.  Killebrew
2.  Mauer (yeah, I know his slg is tiny)
3.  Mack
4.  Carew
5.  Oliva

And I didn't look at an OPS chart.  I will now to check my answers.

 Matt,
After the ops, ask for the adjusted ops+ ranking.
