Nope. Mediocre

Agreed. Mediocre. On the one side, he understands the analytical side of the game well, but everything cannot be 'fixed' by looking at tendencies. According to sources, he isn't that interested in fundamental exercises like BP and defensive routines.

In all honesty, I think he has handled the pitchers well overall. The hitting is atrocious and the fielding isn't that great.

I think the Twins tend to lack focus in the crucial moments in the game when it is the most critical....this is Bruce Bochy's number one rule. Everyone needs to be focused, so everyone knows exactly what they are supposed to do when "X" happens.
