(I'll be YOUR MVP any day, Justin)
Since the playoffs are pretty much not worth watching anymore, mostly because I don't really care who wins, it's time to focus on our Minnesota Twins and what they should work on in their down time this fall/winter. Today, we will start with Mr. Morneau.
Justin Ernest Morneau:
DOB: 5/15/1981
Birthplace: New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada
Height: 6'4
Weight: 230
Bats/Throws: L/R
MLB Debut: 6/10/2003
| Year | Team | G | AB | R | H | 2B | 3B | HR | RBI | TB | BB | SO | SB | CS | OBP | SLG | AVG |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2005 | MIN | 141 | 490 | 62 | 117 | 23 | 4 | 22 | 79 | 214 | 44 | 94 | 0 | 2 | .304 | .437 | .239 |
| 2006 | MIN | 157 | 592 | 97 | 190 | 37 | 1 | 34 | 130 | 331 | 53 | 93 | 3 | 3 | .375 | .559 | .321 |
| 2007 | MIN | 157 | 590 | 84 | 160 | 31 | 3 | 31 | 111 | 290 | 64 | 91 | 1 | 1 | .343 | .492 | .271 |
Let's Consider those stats compared to the stats from 2008
| G | AB | R | H | 2B | 3B | HR | RBI | TB | BB | SO | SB | CS | OBP | SLG | AVG | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2008 | 163 | 623 | 97 | 187 | 47 | 4 | 23 | 129 | 311 | 76 | 85 | 0 | 1 | .374 | .499 | .300 |
Clearly, he hasn't done bad for himself.
Positives: He played in every game this year. That's something, huh? Not to mention, a .300 batting average isn't too shabby. Also, 76 BB and 85 SO. That's respectable.
Negatives: 0 stolen bases in 1 attempt. You're faster than that, J. Morneau. 23 HR? This will not cut it if you are to be our biggest home run hitter. I'll need to see more of that next season, Justin. I'm serious.
Positive: Let's bring that back
Negative: You're responsible for this
In conclusion, I miss the Justin I used to know. . . the Canadian man who hit walk-offs against the CHW. Come back to me, please.
