Besides, Punto seems to enjoy even/contract years lately, so why don't the Twins just tell him he's a backup infielder, then shift him to starting SS after a month? (I'm partially joking).<br /><br />It frustrates me that the Twins (especially Gardy) judge talent the traditional way.Bryznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11215059.post-57325936859188467992009-09-11T16:59:29.191-05:002009-09-11T16:59:29.191-05:00Also, bringing back O-Cab would not be good if you...<i>Also, bringing back O-Cab would not be good if you are a believer in team chemistry.
