Shortstop takes lead for Twins
FORT MYERS, Fla. "—He's the selfconfident kid Kirby Puckett called "Cool Breeze" and the raw talent Chuck Knoblauch tutored for five seasons.
The Associated Press
Heading into his sixth season, Meares has become a key figure in a clubhouse filled with aging players from other teams and young players making their way through the organization.
Shortstop Pat Meares has spent more time on the Twins than any other player on Minnesota's roster.
"I don't see myself as an elder statesman by any means," Meares said Monday. "The only reason people are
saying that is b e c a u s e Knobby's gone and we've got a new second baseman in Todd Walker
Minnesota has 12 players in camp older than Meares, but none has been with the Twins longer without interruption.
this year, and we're trying to get working together."
Meares wasn't around for Minnesota's World Series title in 1991. Closer Rick Aguilera is the only player left from that team, but his Minnesota service was interrupted by a half season in Boston.
Meares has played with Puckett, Knoblauch, Kent Hrbek and the other veterans who led the Twins when they were among the American League's best teams. His importance as a leader has risen sharply this year because of Knoblauch's trade to the Yankees.
"I definitely need to be more vocal in the middle, especially since Todd and I are working together for the first time." Meares said.
Knoblausch worked with him when he first came to the Twins in 1983, and Meares said he thought he could share what he learned with his younger teammates.
charge of the game, making sure everybody's in position. Little things."
Meares especially has been consistent in the last three years, hitting between .267 and .276, hitting 8-12 homers and driving in 49-67 runs.
"Pat's read to assume that role," said manager Tom Kelly. "Taking
He also has improved steadily at shortstop, a position he didn't start playing until 1992. But Mearas chafes at his reputation as merely a consistent player.
"I guess I'm getting pretty tired of it," he said. "I'm waiting for a career year to show up. You never want to be complacent about things, and I've never been like that. I certainly don't have a problem with being consistent as long as I'm still improving, and I still feel like I'm doing that."
Greg Maddux has won four National League Cy Young Awards, played in six All-Star games, won 20 games twice and 15 or more in 10 consecutive seasons. He's running out of goals.
Best pitcher wants to be a better batter
The Associated Press
Still, he managed to find one for this season.
"Have a higher batting average than ERA," said Maddux, who's done that only once in his previous 11 seasons.
"I would love to win 20 games," he said. "I think that's every pitcher's goal. Win a Cy Young — I mean there's always things you try to accomplish."
But hitting well is something he
would treasure. The 31-year-old right-hander had a 173 career average. He managed to hit. 222 in 1994, surpassing his ERA of 1.56.
Maddux's average dropped to a career-low. 104 last season, and his 2.20 ERA won second in the league behind Montreal's Pedro Martinez's 1.90.
Maddux, who went 19-4, finished second behind Martinez in last year's Cy Young voting. He starts a $75.5 million, five-year contract this season and has a chance to add more Cy Young awards to his collection.
"It's being lucky and staying healthy," he said. "I think that's the biggest thing."
with a 2.81 ERA. In five years with the Braves, he is 89-33. Since June 1991, he is 67-1 when his team scores five runs or more.
"I understand myself. I think I have a pretty good idea who I am—what I can and can't do—and I don't vary from it," Maddux said. "If you throw a good game, it makes you smart? It's not true. You go out there and make good pitches, period. You're going to get guys out."
Maddux is 184-108 in 11 seasons
Maddux averaged 86 pitches and seven innings per start last season, walking only 20 batters — six intentionally — in 232, 2-3 innings, an average of 0.774 walks per nine innings. Only seven pitchers this century who qualified for the ERA trail walked fewer batters per nine innings.
"The one thing I can control are the pitches I make," he said. "Everybody says they'd rather be lucky than good. I'd rather be good than luck."
Maddux might be a little of each, but it doesn't matter to Atlanta manager Bobby Cox.
"All I want him to do is throw the way he has in the past," Cox said. "That's all I ask."
