Could it be that playing only a handful of games a year in the most claustrophobic, most poorly lit (or so it seems on TV) domed stadium in professional sports does something to take visiting teams off their game? Outfielders getting a late jump on line drives? Visiting batters picking the ball up a few milliseconds later than normal?
I don't dispute the author on his basic theme: The Twins run their show right, and they're not afraid of their own farm system as a source of talent.
But let's not forget the building they play in. It may be worth 5-10 wins a year.
