Did anyone read what he had to say in the Pioneer Press couple of days ago? I just shook my head. What a dope. He talks about how he is not being used properly and how he is underappreciated. He talked about how he wants to move on and how he cites David Ortiz and Casey Blake flourishing by leaving Minnesota. When I read that stuff, I just said to myself how stupid I was for reading it.
The reason why J.C. is used as a situational reliever not a seventh inning guy is because this guy is a disaster waiting to happen from time to time. Did anyone saw how bad he was in the final two weeks in September last year? Did anyone saw him struggle this season? How about three years ago when he blamed A.J. for his struggles.
This guy just doesn't get it. It's never his fault when things go bad. He has to someone to blame. Maybe if this guy start pitching better, he would be used more and properly. The fact of the matter is that he is a guy that is not mentally tough enough to come through. We see it time after time.
I wasn't happy to see him come back in the first place. He was out and the feeling is mutual. With Travis Bowyer likely coming to the majors next year, J.C. doesn't have to worry about coming here. Here's hoping he keeps his mouth shut and just perform so that the Twins could get something for this child.
