toughguy Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Who's the new manager going to be? I just hope they go with someone outside the organization - Not Molitor, Doug Mientkiewicz, Mauer's brother etc.My vote is for Ozzie. He is a 180 change from Gardy.

kfk Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I'd like to see Doug Mientkiewicz get a chance to manage if they stay inside of the organization(I think he's a talented manager), and if not, I'd like to see Ron Washington given consideration if he'd want the job.

Borch Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Gardy will be working soon if he wants a job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonBo Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I liked Gardy, but it was time to let him go. I only hope the rest of the staff, all of them, will be right behind him. Time to clean house and start new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBMasterAngler Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 If they could somehow get Mike Redmond from Miami, that would be a great hire! I don't think the marlins are going to let him go though. Ozzie would be my next choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzie Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 All I want is a manager to manage a player for what got them to the big leagues and fine tune their inabilities instead of changing the player to fit the system!!! Can't believe Terry Ryan is staying as GM. To me Gardy has been a big part of the problem but he got us within sniffing distance of the WS and wasn't given an arm or bat to help down the stretch a couple times.

greebs Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Sounds like he has been offered some kind of position with the organization. Regardless it was time for a change and I'm glad it occurred. I could see him resurfacing as a mgr some where's else. For his sake hope it's not a team in rebuild mode because we've seen that is not his strength. He needs a team of established vets who can more or less run on auto pilot as was the case with team he inherited. Those gigs don't come up too often though..I'd really like to see Dave Martinez get a shot at this team. Have a feeling though they stay with the organization and go with Glynn. If they stay within hope its dougie alphabet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PierBridge Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 So Gardy inherited a good team that lost 90 games in 4 of the last 5 years before he was hired to coach the Twins?LoL.Tom Kelly had 4 90 loss seasons in row. His last was just over 500 before Gardy led them to 6 playoff appearances. Anyway, anybody but Ozzie works for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Getanet Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 My vote is for Jeter. He's out of a job and looking for work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishersofmen Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I could live with Ozzie even if its just for the humor factor. I cannot see him working well with Terry though and highly doubt he will even get an interview.I would be shocked if he goes outside the organization.

Eric Wettschreck Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I like Gardy but as stated, it was time to clean house.Whadda yous guys think of bringing Tom Prince back and put him on staff. Not saying as manager but I think he would be a great addition to the dugout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssaamm Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Molitor as manager, Jack Morris pitching coach, Brunansky as hitting coach, and Steinbach as bench coach. Maurer platoons in right field with Arcia when Arcia doesn't DH. No more Parmalee either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner55 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 +1 for Molitor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_Bay Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Molitor as manager, Jack Morris pitching coach, Brunansky as hitting coach, and Steinbach as bench coach. Maurer platoons in right field with Arcia when Arcia doesn't DH. No more Parmalee either. Brunansky has to go. Let's go all Minnesota and bring in Winfield as the hitting coach.

Black_Bay Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 How's this for a lineup? Catcher: Joe Mauer First Base: Jusin Morneau/Kennys Vargas Second Base: Nick Punto Shortstop: Garret Jones Third Base: Miguel Sano Outfield: Michael Cuddyer, Torii Hunter, Carlos Gomez, Byron Buxton, Denard Span DH: David Ortiz Pitchers: Liriano, Garza, Neshak, Hughes, Perkins, Nathan, I bet they may still have those guys jerseys around someplace still.
