2004

He started the season with the team, but he was injured twice and spent the majority of his time in 2004 on the disabled list.

In, he competed for the starting job at second base, which he eventually won, and in became the starting third baseman.

Punto was one of four Twins players nicknamed "the Piranhas" by then Chicago White Sox manager, Ozzie Guillén.

The other Piranhas were Jason Tyner, Jason Bartlett, and Luis Castillo.

2007

Punto also posted a −27.1 VORP in 2007, 8.5 runs worse than the second-worst position player in baseball, White Sox infielder Andy González.

However, he has always played excellent defense and believed in his defensive abilities which the Twins are so keen on.

On May 27 during an MPR broadcast Punto said, "I take too much pride in my defense to ever let (offensive struggles) affect me or affect my team. The one thing I can control is how I play defense."
