The Minnesota Twins have always been pretty fortunate when it comes to having a guy at the back end of the bullpen who can seal the deal. Names such as Eddie Guardado and Joe Nathan come to recent memory, yet the current closer for the Minnesota Twins may be one of the best in baseball — his name is Glen Perkins.
Perkins, 32, has been featured on the Minnesota Twins roster dating back to the 2006 season, where he made his Major League debut. After seeing what the southpaw could do out of the bullpen, the Twins tinkered with the idea of having Perkins start games.
