One team player....body of work shows a bi-passing of AAA....was able win 16 games between A and AA ball in 1969.... plus a AA tally of 11 in 1970....called up but thrown to the wolves as the Twin’s relief pitching imploded in 1971.....remained for 5 seasons in a Twins uniform.... enduring a downswing from contenders to years of mediocracy....never fully established in one role; fluctuating starter, fireman, and middle relief roles....averaged just over 12.67 starts and 12.33 games finished a year.....closest to a member of the starter rotation was 1972 with 19 starts and resulted in his best and most prolific season.....Crossed over in 1973 into the bullpen, leading the team in saves after Ken Sanders flopped and mid season call up Bill Campbell was not ready to be the prime closer.....Campbell takes over in September 1974 and does not relinquish....Corbin’s production suffered and was relegated to mop up work and outright release.
