The Minnesota Twins will be inducting two former members of the organization into the team’s Hall of Fame on Saturday evening when former General Manager Andy MacPhail and former outfielder Michael Cuddyer receive the honor.
Puckett’s Pond contributor Nate Palmer examined the legacy of MacPhail on Wednesday. Tonight, we’ll look at Cuddyer.
Michael Cuddyer
In the midst of the team’s doldrums at the end of the 1990s, Michael Brent Cuddyer was drafted 9th overall by the Minnesota Twins in 1997 out of high school in Virginia. Due to old signing rules, Cuddyer did not sign in time to get any playing time in 1997.
