Beat me to it. This is a fantastic addition to the Twins. The newly named assistant bench coach, Mike Rabelo, is also a great hire. Along with Sizemore and Gardenhire the Twins have done extremely well on their new additions.

The news today actually makes me think we may see some positive player moves.

I really had hope Rowsen would join the staff as the bench coach. But Helberg from the Giants, a well run team, and his resume, sounds like outstanding to me as another choice.

I had honestly forgotten who Mike Rebelo was until I looked him up. Memory fades. I always love former catchers as coaches.

Hawkins and Sizemore seem like HR hires, pardon any pun.

I think Shelton has a really nice staff assembled. I don't like losing Suggs as an assistant pitching, and I'm still unsure about retaining Amicone and Sierra as assistant batting coaches, but what do I know? They seem to be young and smart. 

I'm really starting to like what Shelton is putting together.

Mike Rabelo was a part of the trade for Miguel Cabrera. Miggy was one of my favorite players of all time. He could hit.
