Imagine what someone of the diverse players on the team feel like. If this is an article on how noticeable the Twins and what they lack, talk to the players and see how the feel. It’s don’t weird that most of the players leave the Twins and have success else where. Just look at the teams that make it. Have to have different insight and be able to relate to your players. 

I was aware of that shameful remark plus others made by Cal Griffith. It was commendable of the Twins to remove his statue outside of Target Field. Now it's time to remove the lingering stench of racism and bring in a manager that reflects the players of today's game.

Well, they did have a pretty big sign in RF saying "END RACISM"

So, Pohlads, put your money where your mouth is!

I agree with you, Coach. One of the greatest qualities of a manager is being able to relate to all players, & brings continuity & unity to the team. Also IMO, bilingual should be a qualification for a manager. IMO, these, along with baseball smarts are very important & all other qualities that are lacking can be supported by the bench coach & assistant coaches.

Thank you, Harldson, for this blog. I can see the same problem, where I created a blog  

I, too, believe that Falvey isn't racist but he is biased towards his analytics & he ignores the human elements of the game. Diversity isn't very important to him as a manager. Because of it he doesn't communicate well with players or fans & destroying the team & fan culture. IMO, the most important quality for a manager is being able to relate, be patient, encourage & rally all players no matter race, age, religion or abilities; to be able to see the importance in each player & be able to bring that out (IMO, that's why college coaches make good MLB managers). Also bilingual is important to bring continuity to the team. They say that Baldelli is a player's manager because he was laid back, but IMO he lacked some of these qualities. 3 of my top 4 manager candidates aren't white & each has their own attributes. IMO, restoring club & fan culture & relational as I stated before is most important. Therefore, Tori Hunter is my top candidate. Charlie Greene is my 2nd choice because he checks off most of the boxes & I'd like him as my Bench coach, because he's very supportive. Ron Washington, is my 3rd. He's great at fundamentals; he might not be open to managing but he might be open to be INF & 3B coach, to help out his buddy Hunter. 4th is Nelson Cruz he's bilingual, a great hitting mentor, so I'd like him as MLB hitting & 1B coach. All have baseball smarts, a grasp of practical analytics, great people skills & all would make great managers in their own right. Only Wash has MLB managerial experience.
