Hopefully the Twins will finally fire Ron Gardenhire at the end of the season. And he can take that worthless pitching coach Rick Anderson with him. I'd get rid of everybody except Terry Steinbach (bench/catching coach), Tom Brunansky (hitting coach), and Paul Molitor (bench coach). Promote either Steinbach or Molitor to manager. Also, see if I could find anybody stupid enough to take on Joe Mauer's contract this winter, and start the youth movement.
The Twins have a lot of young guys that are either ready or close to it. Buxton and Sano were both set back a bit this year with injuries, but I think both will be midseason callups next year. All we need is a little more starting pitching. Next year we should start making some strides. I expect them to contend by 2016 if we can get our pitching in order. We do have some arms with pedigree in the minors, but you just never know.
