It's kind of different, because I'm used to having Jacque (Jones) and J.C. (Romero) and all those guys around. When I came up in '99, I played with those guys in the minor leagues, so we had the chemistry already. There are a lot of new faces in here. A lot of guys, I don't really know their names.

Hunter is the fearless face of the fearless Twins, who were a fashionable preseason pick to win the World Series but are at this moment baseball's forgotten championship contender.

And the boisterous Hunter has led the Twins' charge In June, during which Minnesota has won six of seven games, the center fielder is batting .552 with a 1.034 slugging percentage and is on pace to have the finest all-around season of his career despite bone chips in his elbow, a separated joint in his left shoulder, and a broken toe.

I've been with Brad forever, I've known him 13 years, and it's tough to see him go through this. He's such a great guy and it might possibly be his last year. To see him go through this, this early, we know he can still make a good comeback. And that's what we're banking on.

I still don't understand why we couldn't pick him up. But we missed that opportunity. We have Tony, and we're going to have to deal with that. Pitchers still know the name. He's a threat. If you make a mistake, he will knock you out.
