Some Dubious Milestones - Hitters

Before you get to 3000 hits, you have to get to 500. With that in mind, I offer you this list of completely arbitrary achievments that Twins players could reach this year. The numbers that I thought I'd make note of are generally nice round numbers. They hold pretty much no significance whatsoever, but it's kind of interesting to see where players are. The pitcher's version of this list will come out tomorrow.
