Dear Nick Punto,
I know the season has yet to start, but I just wanted to let you know that I’m rooting for you.
Really—you’re my favorite Twin under 5’10”.
I’m hoping for some more amazing catches and crazy behind the back throws this year. And maybe some more leap-frogging.
And head first slides.
But…no more bunting.
Please.
Really, Nicky, I hate to say it, but you’re going to have to step it up this year at Spring Training.
C’mon, remember when you used to bat second? I do. They were glorious days. But it looks like they’re trying to put some new guys in your turf. I mean—Mike Lamb? That name does not strike fear into balls that fly into the hot corner like ‘Nick Punto’ does. The guy isn’t even a piranha! Not to mention, he looks real scary in his roster picture...
I think you should shoot for 2nd base. You’ve got quick hands and a good arm. And the leap-frogging.
I guess, Nicky, all I’m trying to say is that if you don’t somehow have a spot in the line-up this season, my heart will be broken. You were my first Bat-Girl style Boyfriend.
And those ties run deep.
All I’m tryin’ to say is, Nicky, I want you to be back in the top of the line-up.
But, no matter what, no bunting.
Please?
Love,
L

Those headfirst slides into 1st base are entertaining, but a little scary too. I don't want LNP to hurt himself!
I definitely was at a game last year when he slid from like 20 feet away form 3rd and somehow his helmet magically came off...And he didn't even need to slide. I think he was just so excited to be at 3rd...
LNP is my baseball boyfriend. I hope that he is able to earn a regular spot in the rotation because is defense is nothing short of brilliant.
