In addition to the Iron Maiden song, .666 is the lifetime OPS of Hall of Famer Ozzie Smith. Rumors that he sold his soul to someone to get to the Hall of Fame have not been substantiated. Interestingly enough, in his case that .666 OPS translated to an 87 OPS+. Right now for the Twins, Jordan Schafer is just missing the list with a .668 OPS and he has an 88 OPS+. The more things change...
Here are the (non-pitcher) Twins' hitters whose bats are not quite as hot as Hell (I guess that might be a good assumption) :
Chris Colabello .662
Eric Fryer .635
Eduardo Nunez .632
Jason Kubel .607
Aaron Hicks .600
Kendrys Morales .584
Chris Herrmann .343
Pedro Florimon .310
Jason Bartlett .250
Darin Mastroianni .083
It is worth mentioning that only two of these guys are with the club right now (Nunez & Fryer) and a few more (Colabello, Hicks, Hermann, Florimon) are still with the organization. If I were to pick, I'd think that only the 2 previously high ranked prospects with a history of success (Hicks & Herrmann) will see some playing time in the majors next season.
