For a young player, Julien has a bad habit of not always running hard out of the box. He's cost himself and his team some opprtunities on picking up an extra base, since coming up.
It bothers me that this team hasn't played better. I feel that maybe I've given the talent a higher evaluation than I should. Call it a home team bias. An interesting little exercise is to match by position or line up, the Twins versus any other team. Check off the player who you feel is better or who you would rather have on 'your' team. It's kind of shocking to see, that the Twins talent isn't quite what I thought it was.
I told the Twins to trade for Nick Punto back in 2003. That caused a series of chain reactions that led to this point.
My bad. Sorry, everybody
I don't believe you for a moment. The Twins hardly ever take anyone's advice.
