I agree with everyone saying this is a scapegoat and that not much is likely to change with the current folks in charge. Which is why I think they need to hire someone who will at least change the clubhouse vibe. And the right guy is theoretically available: Torii Hunter.
We know he wants to manage and he would set a very different tone in the clubhouse. It's just a shame it seems he doesn't have the best relationship with the Twins these days, just recently left the Twins for the Angels, and might get an opportunity to manage the Angels soon.
If they do manage to hire Hunter, though, it would be the first positive PR decision they've made in a long time.
