extremely move people rare saw teams year
It's been an extremely rare year where you saw very little movement, ... I don't have an explanation for it. It was just one of those years where people didn't want to move players. I don't know if it was because more teams were in it, or what.
building bunch days everybody five four game games gone guys haven hit home homer pitching profess share since stereotype stress teams tremendous won worry youngest
First off, we're always young. We're one of the youngest teams in the game every year. Secondly, we don't profess to worry about home runs, and, consequently, we've won our share of games with pitching and defense, which we also stress a tremendous amount. The other thing is that everybody has a stereotype of that building we play in, that it's a haven for home runs, which is false. It isn't a homer dome. Those days are gone ? since about '87 when we had four or five guys that did hit a bunch of them.
except good losing proud sit
He's prepared. He's done about everything you can do except sit in the (general manager's) chair. I'm proud of him, but we're losing a good man.

It was complicated -- so many teams, ... I can see why things get bogged down. I don't know if deadlines are a good thing or not, we were real close.

He got his feet wet. Everybody's in consideration right now.

Forget speculation. Let's talk about reality. People were talking about Brad Radke being traded seven years ago, and he's been with us for 11 years.

If I was a left-handed pitcher coming into this camp, I'd be very excited.

I don't want to hear about him coaching. His No. 1 goal right now should be playing ? getting to Triple-A and then getting to Minnesota.
blow earn feeling guy opportunity seeing type worked
It's a blow to us, but there's no better feeling than seeing a guy who has worked to earn this type of opportunity get an opportunity. I know he's ready.
days ended sad saddest twins
It's sad that it has ended this way. This is one of the saddest days in Twins history. Only 45 years old. . . . That's way too early.
sit sudden
If you go out and get an outfielder, and all of a sudden Stewart comes back healthy, then what? ... Do you sit him?
changed couple everybody guy hall inside might next remember sad
He never changed, even after he got into the Hall of Fame. He might have changed physically, but inside he was the same guy ... Everybody is going to be sad for the next couple of days, but when you remember him, you're going to smile.
earn people relatively repeating rushing themselves
He's 25. He's still a relatively young man. Sometimes, it's healthy, repeating a league. I don't like rushing people. We try to make people earn themselves promotions.
burst far nice ready year
He had a nice year (in the minors) and an even better fall, but as far as him being ready for that (major league) level, I don't want to burst anybody's bubble.
