So I suppose those things are the growing pains that result from calling up a player too early -- maybe a full season or more too early.<br /><br />He still looked better than Nishioka, though!Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01193037924987429075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4902093917256814919.post-34667182401464340442012-03-05T12:39:34.991-05:002012-03-05T12:39:34.991-05:00I guess I was less impressed with Revere than you ...I guess I was less impressed with Revere than you were. I thought he still took some cuts at some bad pitches, which tells me he's guessing a lot. And getting picked off 1B because he felt the need to get a jump in a 1st and 3rd situation was exactly the kind of bonehead thing that frustrated the heck out of me about the Twins all last summer.JimCrikkethttp://knuckleballsblog.comnoreply@blogger.com
