Another stiff in the bullpen. Billy Smith is scraping the barrel, just like he did with Hernandez, Lamb, Everett etc. His track record sucks as GM, and now we get this. Smith, please resign.

Yes, Justin is in a slump right now--he'll be fine. The good news is that the Twins have won w/o him during his recent slide...when he gets hot again, and he will, it should make the team that much more dangerous.

That's an average of 124.33 RBI per (162 game) season. So he does more than his share, normally. Morneau has 340 RBI in 443 games in the last three years.
