October 31, 201412 yr Darren Wolfson @DarrenWolfson · 10h 10 hours ago Hmmm. “@DavidADorsey: I have a very strong gut feeling that Mientkiewicz will be named Twins manager between tomorrow & Monday. Stay tuned.”That would be a surprise. The last interviews/meetings with Molitor and Lovullo were mainly to let them down gently? Part of me would be disappointed because Doug seems more old-school, but he also seems like he could be much more entertaining (than Molitor, at least) -- which is an overlooked factor in these discussions.

I am entertained by good baseball and a winning team. I don't think Doug is on par with the other two guys to provide that. on a side note, who is David A Dorsey?

October 31, 201412 yr I am entertained by good baseball and a winning team. I don't think Doug is on par with the other two guys to provide that.Probably not, and frankly I am not sure how entertaining Doug would be otherwise (occasional tantrum/ejection aside). But Molitor in particular seems like he could be a real bore (although yeah, if he can fire up the team and win, who cares). Entertainment was a primary factor in my Maddon interest, though. The manager who tweets!
October 31, 201412 yr jay, on 30 Oct 2014 - 06:44 AM, said:Yet another example of jumping to conclusions and making false facts out of preliminary, partial information?Shocking. JB:Or maybe someone quickly reached out in the last day or so to cover their b*tts. ChiTown:Or maybe not. Either they were covering their b*tts or incredibly slow off the mark. Neither are desirable IMO. And really- though some fans can be in denial all they want- when it comes down to it, the Twins have demonstrated over recent times that these two undesirable traits aren't mutually exclusive of one another.
October 31, 201412 yr David Dorsey @DavidADorsey · 1h 1 hour ago Well, I woke up this morning, and my gut feeling completely changed. I now seriously doubt Doug Mientkiewicz will be named Twins manager. Good grief...April 1 is still 5 mos away!

October 31, 201412 yr The last interviews/meetings with Molitor and Lovullo were mainly to let them down gently?They flew out to California to let down another team's coach gently?
October 31, 201412 yr They flew out to California to let down another team's coach gently?Hey, I was just trying to construct a theory to support that tweet about Mientkiewicz getting the job. I don't necessarily subscribe to it.
October 31, 201412 yr Hey, I was just trying to construct a theory to support that tweet about Mientkiewicz getting the job. I don't necessarily subscribe to it. My theory is that a local reporter wanted to get his name out there nationally. You would assume the first tweet had some merit or actual journalism to it. Turns out it was a "gut feel"
October 31, 201412 yr And really- though some fans can be in denial all they want- when it comes down to it, the Twins have demonstrated over recent times that these two undesirable traits aren't mutually exclusive of one another.Moderator note: please be very careful (everyone) about dismissing differing points of view. By suggesting other posters are 'in denial' because they have something else to say that is opposite of what you believe to be true is bordering on disrespect. This thread has already seen its share of warnings and editings. Just say you disagree and say why, but saying things like this is akin to saying they just don't know any better.
