Gardenhire deserves plenty of blame.

I am not opposed to a managerial change if it makes the Twins better. That said, I don't think a new manager makes this current group of Twins better. We probably have at least one more season in Gardy before the Twins make a change. My call for the new mgr, a year out, when the next batch of good young prospects arrives, is probably somebody like Mientkieicwcykowskiovich, or however you spell his name. Anybody who brawls with the opposing mgr gets my vote, and certainly gets the attention of players. He can keep Sano, Rosario, et. al, in check. Have good day.

Gardy's contract is up. He's not going to sign a 1 year deal. If you bring back Gardy, you do so committing to him for the next 3 years.

I even said in my original post that if he still had a year remaining on his deal, I think you let him finish it out.

So he should also get no credit when they have good teams, right? If that is the case, why not hire Dave to be the manager for a lot less money.

I've come around to the opinion that a change for the sake of a change wouldn't be a bad thing. But I'm also not sold on Terry Ryan being here much longer. Does it make sense to let Gardy go and Terry hire the next manager. Then what if 2014 is another train wreck? Does Terry 'retire' again? Seems very possible. Then is the new GM stuck with a manger he didn't hire. Bottom line: Terry and Gardy should stay or go together.
