Only the third MLB manager ever hired after being inducted to the HoF as a player (Sandberg, Ted Williams).
There have been many others who managed before being voted into the Hall.

Very interested to see who ends up on Molitor's staff, particularly who his pitching coach will be.

Gene Glynn has been promoted from manager of Class AAA Rochester to third-based coach with the Twins, according to a report in the Rochester Democrat & Chronicle.
Glynn, 58, is from Waseca, Minn., and has been the Rochester manager for the last three seasons. He was one of three finalists for the Twins managing job.
The Rochester web site also reported that Doug Mientkiewicz, who has been the manager of the Twins' Class A team at Fort Myers, would be a candidate for promotion to Rochester.
Glynn is the second coach to be named to new manager Paul Molitor's staff. The team announced last week that Tom Brunansky would return for a second season as hitting coach.

They're saying Guardado is going to be the bullpen coach.

Four of the Twins' brightest prospects were added to the team's 40-man roster on Thursday to shield them from next month's Rule 5 draft. Now the question is: When will they become part of the 25-man roster?
Third baseman Miguel Sano, second baseman and outfielder Eddie Rosario, right-handed starter Alex Meyer and left-hander Jason Wheeler became part of the major-league team on Thursday, the deadline for setting rosters before the Rule 5 draft.

This ####### town deserves this team. Oh my god he was a Twin back when they were good! Let's bring him back and give him all the money and at-bats that should be going to younger players! This signing isn't pointless at all!

Thank god they tendered Brian Duensing.

I like the odds of Hunter hitting for a better average, about 280, and more HR's, about 18 then any other OF on the Twins on the roster. I don't pay to go to Twins games to watch prospects, if I wanted to watch prospects, I buy season tickets to the farm clubs schedule.

You know who else got $10 million per year? Jason Hammel. Who do you think makes more sense for this team?

Jason Pridie is still out there unsigned, don't know what the Twins are waiting for.

Hey Ryan Doumit's unsigned! He was a high character, good clubhouse guy when he was here. He'd be a terrific addition.

Do you think Pelfrey and Suzuki have a special high five they do to remind each other they each got 2 year contracts for some reason? And then they giggle?
