Thank you for posting this, Seth. I noticed that the Twins have really increased the number of coaches, as you have pointed out. Probably the number of support guys(health, strength and conditioning) as well. This is one area that I think is probably a good idea to beef up.

 

With all the changes the Twins have made, it is good to see a certain amount of continuity as well. I think the development staff has done a decent job of getting players to the majors over the last few years. Good work should be rewarded.

Really happy to see Brian Dinkelman get his shot to manage in Cedar Rapids. With all the new blood coming into the development side of the organization, it's great to see that a guy who has worked hard and devoted his energies to making young players the best they can be is also getting his shot to prove himself as a manager.

Looks like Twins are going to follow the Astros by going to straight computer print out with the MILB staff.I wonder if they are going to ask Pensacola to add slow motion cameras around the stadium. 

Did I miss Jake Mauer's name somewhere?  Is he not coaching this year?

Jake went full time into the car dealership business a year ago. Didn't manage/coach anywhere last season.

Who have the Twins hired for the major league strength and conditioning staff?

Pitching Coach Frank Jagoda had accepted the job of running USA Baseball today, an will be leaving the Twins. Here is his message to the team.

 

 

Here is the article explaining what his duties will be with USA Baseball, which will essentially be running the 18U, 17 U and 16U teams.
