Minnesota Twins Greatest Offensive Season #48: Justin Morneau 2009

Justin Morneau's 2009 season:


AB: 508
Hits: 139
Doubles: 31
Triples: 1
Home Runs: 30
RBI: 100
BB: 72
K: 86
BA: .274
OBP: .363
SLG: .516
OPS: .879
OPS+: 135 (48th best in team history)

Despite batting just .201 in 174 at bats after the All Star break Justin Morneau still had the 48th best season at the plate in team history. Fans may disagree since they can still recall many disappointing at bats Morneau had in the second half of the season in addition with his missing the last three weeks of the season with a stress fracture in his back. With that said, his first half statistics are what carries his season into the top 50 in team history. In that first half Morneau batted: .311/.390/.575 with 21 home runs, 70 RBI and 44 walks. Fans are looking for Justin to put together two halves of a season that each look similar to the first half of the 2009 season.
