Brunansky, Davis Will Not Return To Twins Coaching Staff

The new bosses liked the pitching?

I do not know. I did not comment on it so why are you asking me? 

The Twins aren't teaching fastball control in the lower levels? My assumption is that there isn't an organization in baseball where that wouldn't be taught.

Isn't it command that kept Meyer in the minors?

did not say it was not being taught, just not as high a priority as pitch development.  Rays do not seem to let pitchers advance too far without that command.  It also seems to be why Rays pitchers called up to the majors seem to be more likely to succeed at this level.

To be doing this project Allan must have been told he was likely to be retained and what he would change given another year in the organization.  Only hope it may be that simple.

The lack of advancement must be leading to why they traded for so many of their pitchers.

I can see more changes being made next off-season.  I assume Falvey and Levine know a bit about the coaching staff/front office, but have not really seen them in action.  If incumbents who are staying go about their routines the same way they have in the past and get the same results I assume they will not be here long.

Bruno should not be missed by many. Would the consider Torii?

My kids have had a HS coach who would do that.  Drives me crazy - if you haven't taught them how to hit before they step in the box, it's too late.

It wasn't just Buxton.  Gladden pointed it out when this happened many times last year, I think he got sick of hearing it.  Rosario was another favorite target.
