Brooks Robinson belongs in a higher league.

In fairness to Dmitri Young, if you're going out there and asking him to be Brooks Robinson and you don't think he's going to make an error now and then, you shouldn't do it. What you do is pick your spots. I think he's a pretty good athlete, I think he's got good hands, and I know he can hit. I've always liked him.

I would go anywhere to see Brooks Robinson. He was the best third baseman ever. Nobody played third base like Brooks, and he was one of the nicest guys to ever play the game.

Colorado State's personnel is a little different than when we played them last. (Freddy) Robinson is really helping them. He has stepped up the last four of five games. They have gotten a lot better in the half court defensively. Their size can cause us problems.

The bottom line is that this guy doesn't belong in this league. Anyone you refer to as 'Mister' belongs in the big leagues. I think he's going to be ready for whenever the Twins want him.

I've been wrong about six times as far as that goes. Now I am hoping they do something, but I sure am not optimistic. I am less optimistic as every month goes by.
