It was while with the Miracle that Watkins became more of a utility player.

In 2003, he made his debut as a first baseman (8 times), and played all three outfield positions (38 total appearances), as well as making 28 appearances at third, 17 at shortstop, and nine at second.

2004

Watkins spent ten years in the minors, all with the Twins, before making his major league debut.

Red Wings Manager Stan Cliburn stated that Watkins' promotion to the big leagues "was one of the most emotional call-ups [he had] ever been involved with."

The announcement "set off a joyous celebration in the clubhouse, because of everyone's love, passion and respect for Tommy."

He recorded his first major league hit August 15, 2007, while playing the Seattle Mariners.

He is the first player in Twins history to wear No. 61.

According to Twins manager Ron Gardenhire, "He has a good smile in his face and comes to play every day. You can play anywhere you put him, outfield, infield, so it will be fine to have him up there."

Watkins played nine games, with his major league debut being as pinch-hitter, August 10 against the Los Angeles Angels.

He started the remaining eight games he appeared in, all at third base (he shifted to shortstop for the last two innings of one game).

His first hit was a single off Jarrod Washburn on August 15 at Seattle.
