The last four years have been very disappointing. We've heard these numbers in one form or another for years now, so I won't drag it out, but I want to highlight just a couple of the most disappointing statistics: In four seasons 383 losses..

He is a Hall of Famer who has been involved in pro baseball for nearly four decades. His knowledge of the game is lauded by individuals around the league. He is a St. Paul native with plenty of local ties. That...3161Fri, 24 Oct 2014 01:29:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-gm-terry-ryan-talks-about-the-search-for-a-new-manager-r3160/The Minnesota Twins search for a new manager remains a fluid situation however, the hunt has seemingly narrowed to three final candidates in Paul Molitor, Doug Mientkiewicz and Torey Lovullo. While we know who the applicants are, what is not known is how and what the organization is looking for in...3160Thu, 23 Oct 2014 12:40:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/and-then-there-were-three-r3159/It was three-and-a-half weeks ago that General Manager Terry Ryan announced that manager Ron Gardenhire would not be returning to his job in 2015, and we still don’t know who will be guiding the Twins on the field next season. But we’re getting closer. After considering, by my count, at least sev...3159Thu, 23 Oct 2014 12:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/powering-up-the-bullpen-r3157/There are only so many worthwhile takeaways to be gleaned from an examination of the Kansas City Royals' incredible postseason run up to this point. It's just been one of those miraculous stretches of baseball where everything has kept on clicking. (At least until Game 1 of the World Series.)

While not every Twins fan was happy, the consensus was that the Twins had opened their wallets wide to get a guy who would guarantee them innings and competitive starts. In other words, while Nolasco...3153Tue, 21 Oct 2014 12:55:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/let39s-just-roll-with-what-we-have-r3154/It may mean a bunch of losses in 2015, but the Twins need to use their next season to evaluate what they have. Next off-season, they can look at the trade and free agent market and search for a way to supplement their 25-man roster, but for now, they need to commit to the youth movement. I'll take...3154Tue, 21 Oct 2014 12:41:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/postseason-review-parmelee-nunez-and-schaefer-r3147/This will close out my postseason reviews of position players.
