Twins vs All-stars

With only one position player from the Twins historically good first half offensive making the all-star game this year, I got to wondering how the Twins 2019 starting lineup would fare if playing against AL all-star starting lineup. Of course Polanco would have to play all time offense and would be a push but how about the rest of the team? Here’s a look at stats position by position. While it’s clear the all-star starters would have the upper hand, the Twins as a team would be only 69 points behind in OPS and 20 points behind in Slugging. Those would be pretty evenly matched offenses and by the numbers, the Twins should really have had 2 more starters on the team. But who cares about an exhibition game. Pretty cool that the Twins have been fielding a near All-Star caliber lineup top to bottom this year. Let's enjoy it!
