Again, keep telling yourself that. In the real world, any type of business, when a successful Manager leaves, on his or her own terms, conversations about a successor are had, often under the guise of "I don't want to be involved in the process", at which point something like we will let you know who we are going with will happen. TK knew and thought Gardenhire was the best for a young and upcoming team.

How long before we bring up Tovar....24, has ML experience with the Mets the last 2 years...... I really like what TR has done by signing Tovar, Centeno, and Grossman......

He needs to stay at the horse track. He's out of touch and obsolete at this point. Some of the things he said in the booth were borderline racist

TJSweens -> RE: Players and prospects III (6/1/2016 12:23:29 PM)
In what way is he obsolete? I'm just curious because people keep saying crap about a guy who basically knows about more about baseball in his his little finger than Ed Funk who knows more about baseball than the rest of this forum combined. The man won a WS with a team that had no business winning a WS and suddenly the game has passed him by.

McMurfy -> RE: Players and prospects III (6/1/2016 12:42:21 PM)
He's obsolete becuase when he was winnng titles he was 36 and 39.., he could relate to young players. It was pre internet and most modern athlete and media normailities of today. You played cards with TK, you most likely gambled. But, as he got older, he could not relate to Todd Walker, to David Ortiz, to Kyle Lohse, just to name a few guys who had success elsewhere. He lost a lot between 1993 and 2001. He started this "Twins Way" Crap. Crap that had little to do with '87 and '91, which again, was 29 and 25 years ago. The game long ago passed him by. There is no way Ron Gardenhire manages the Twins without TK at least saying "He'll be Fine"

Walker and Loshe had success playing for TK as well and had run ins with other managers. Walker had one of his best years playing for TK. In fact Lohse didn't have any run ins with TK.

The game hasn't changed significantly in that time other than starting pitchers have gotten progressively more fragile. The game long ago passed him by. Again the game really hasn't changed other than fans being more SABER headed then they used be, so that statement makes no sense.

MOVE ON. quit holding out hope he will be an important piece Meyer (shoulder) underwent an MRI over the weekend that confirmed mild shoulder inflammation, Mike Berardino of the Pioneer Press reports. Meyer has been out of commission since early May due to shoulder soreness, and it has been roughly one week since he's been able to throw a bullpen. There is no word on his timetable for a return, but given that he's still dealing with inflammation in his shoulder, it's unlikely that the Twins organization would rush him back to the mound before he's ready.

Stacey King -> RE: Players and prospects III (6/1/2016 1:56:07 PM)
Molitor said Miguel Sano will get an MRI exam on his hamstring when they get back to Minnesota as a precaution. Not sure of severity yet Sano gets MRI roughly 2 days after injuring hamstring #MNTwins gave Alex Meyer* an MRI 28 days after shoulder injury*

Mr. Ed -> RE: Players and prospects III (6/1/2016 2:02:34 PM)
Meyer apparently has been throwing bullpen before this, then saying it's sore the next day, so they did cat/mouse with that a while first.

From this article http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/events/mlb_kelly.jsp A successor to Kelly was not named Friday. Ryan now finds himself having to make his first managerial appointment since becoming general manager in 1994. He said that he would be looking within the organization and around baseball for a replacement. While coaches Ron Gardenhire and Molitor are two potential candidates, Ryan declined to discuss the possibilities. Noting that there is no timetable, he said that Kelly would have input in the final decision. "Now that's he's decided to retire, we'll try to find the best person for the job," Ryan said. "I will certainly consult and discuss with Tom the various things he has a better feel for as a manager. That's going to be invaluable for me."

TJSweens -> RE: Players and prospects III (6/1/2016 2:27:31 PM)
Which means he asked Kelley about each of him since they were all his assistants. Molitor withdrew, meaning it was Gardy, Ulcer and Newman. Meaning Kelley either assessed each to Ryan with or without an endorsement and Ryan made the choice. If Kelley gave a recommendation, he was given a choice of syphilis, gonorrhea or chlamydia. Gardy's hire is not on him. That's supposed to the GM's job. He fielded a list of 4 candidates and the only qualified one said thanks, but no thanks. Blaming that on Kelley is beyond absurd.
