Minnesota has arguably a worse 2011 team set than the Houston Astros. (They total 80 fewer points despite having one more card.) They have better pitching, but since Houston’s season was more affected by their trade deadline firesale than Minnesota, the Twins lack some of the base set batters that helps the Astros avoid being a complete dumpster fire of a team set.
Starter Scott Baker earned the foil, but it was a tough decision whom to make a foil here.
There are former-MVPs and/or future Hall of Famers past their prime, like Justin Morneau, Jim Thome and Joe Mauer. There are future stars like Pennant Run rookie foil Liam Hendriks – but he’s a 0 Control, 90 point starter in this set. There are a few interesting cards here, especially in the bullpen, but as a whole, it’s not good.
Foils: Scott Baker, Liam Hendricks (PR)
