Luis Ramirez and Hank Conger Join Baldelli's 2022 Coaching Staff

I guess we've gotten past the days of the manager coaching third base and the pitching coach coaching first base. With the trainer running the dugout.?

Thanks Seth,,, that good news that diaz has been moved out of third base coach,  I didn't think he was all that good at sending the fast runners to score when we had problems scoring runs  ,, he sent alot of slow runners to their death at the plate though  ...... 

I have to admit I have no idea what all these coaches do.  First we had bench coaches to keep the manager awake during long games and now we have an assistant bench coach to make sure the bench stays dry and then we have quality control coaches - which do?  If they kept the quality up we would have a better record.  So who is responsible when things go bad like 2021?

Great video - thanks for finding that and sharing, now I feel like someday I can be a catcher too!  lol

You can never have too many coaches, I guess. I always wondered how coaches coach those making millions more than they! And is there a stigma with prospects who work with coaches that "never really did make it big in the big leagues" telling them how to do things or make adjustments.

The real secret of success is coaching in the minors, and very glad he Twins have expanded the coaching rosters at each level, beside extensive use of coordinators for different aspects of the game, working out of Ft. Myers. And the Twins have also been generous with keeping vet talent like Oliva and Carew and even Hrbek, not to mention T.K., sometimes Steinbach, Hunter and Hawkins coming to camps and working with player skillsets.

Thankful Diaz is out at third base. We need Ron Washington there! Tony was just a rally killer, holding the speedy runners and sending the turtles. Just awful.

Ok, now let's sign a bunting coach and beat the shift back to regular defensive positions.

THANK GOODNESS !!
The Twins Figured it Out !!
The Team’s UNDERWHELMING 2021 Performance
WAS ENTIRELY DUE TO HAVING
The WRONG COACHES in the WRONG COACHING JOBS
AND
NOT HAVING NEARLY ENOUGH MAJOR LEAGUE COACHES ON STAFF !!

The Minnesota Twins will soon announce the next round of MLB Coaching additions:

Assistant to the Assistant Bench Coach

Assistant to the Assistant Pitching Coach

Assistant to the Assistant Hitting Coach

Hopefully these coaches, will add some more to the club. Having a few more guys on staff does give you the opportunity for more individualized attention for players, so as long as they are all on the same page and working as a team, then I'm all for adding a few more guys to the staff. It's a fairly low-cost means of enhancing player improvement. Giants have been effective in this recently and I'm ok with copying stuff from successful franchises.

(since they're obviously ripping this off from the Giants, it cuts against the idea that the FO are super-arrogant and always must be the smartest people in the room though...so what's going to be the reason de jour that this is a stupid idea from a FO that needs to be fired?)

Don't forget the Run Strategy Coach, the Pitch Count Coach and the Spreadsheet Coach.

Man, that video was unexpectedly hilarious!

That video was AWESOME! What is Domingo Ayala doing these days? Could he be brought in as another assistant for morale and comedy relief? Assistant catching and morale coach? I felt like I was watching a new age Python sketch, LOL.

On a serious note, one of the best things I  think the FO has done has been hiring good coaches throughout the  system, though we have, unfortunately also lost some of them. But I've also applauded them in recent years as to making their staffs more culturally varied. I think they've done a great job focusing on Latin coaches from the ML on down. That is so important in regard to not only development, but from a simple communication standpoint.

I thought we only had one turtle on the roster? ?

More coaching changes?  Yawn yawn yawn. They can't even hire recognizable coaches.  I keep saying this FO keeps giving every indication that they are going even cheaper this year.  I sure hope there will be meaningful signings or trades to improve the team.  But I doubt it will happen.

Wes Johnson is not a good fit for this team with many young pitchers. Wes has never coached in minors or big leagues, just college, can't figure out what FO or manager goal is with this young staff.

Double thumbs up on this! Calling for people to be fired is so widespread on all sports sites. Is it prudent to so casually insist on impacting others lives with a major negative event like being fired? Are those who indulge in this questionable anonymous behavior subjected to such quick trigger firings by their own bosses?

Not my cuppa.
