Tuesday was an off day for the Twins — a chance for players to get their minds right (and perhaps their bats, gloves and arms as well). I doubt it was an off day when it came to fans fretting about an 0-7 start, but indulge me for a few moments as I venture into an area where a Twins player can be a winner simply by walking to the plate, no matter what happens. Yes, let's talk about the 2016 Twins' walk-up music.
Here are my power rankings, from top to bottom:
14. Oswaldo Arcia ("La Gringa," Silvestre Dangond): This song doesn't make me want to swing the bat. It makes me the exact opposite of calm. I'm glad Arcia likes it.
13. Brian Dozier ("Jugg," Fetty Wap): Is this a "Saturday Night Live" parody of a rap song? It's not? Oh.
12. Joe Mauer ("What You Know," T.I.): I actually like this song. I'm just tired of this song. I bet I've heard the start of this song more than 1,000 times because of Mauer. I bet he has it as his wake-up alarm ringtone. I bet when he's 80, he'll still listen to this song every day.
11. Eddie Rosario ("Blin Blin," Don Omar): I can see how this would get Eddie ready to hit, I just don't like the beat. Personal taste more than anything.
10. Miguel Sano ("El Mayor Clasico," De Vitrina): Makes me want to do 37 things at once, not concentrate on the difference between a fastball and a slider.
9. Danny Santana ("Levantate," Morzat La Para): This song is upbeat and harmless, though a little bland.
