    Unless the guy has Johnny Bench's bat I can't imagine any manager, old or new, staking his future to a guy who after 9 years of minor league ball is still nowhere near being even an average defensive catcher. Not quite ready to say he's got Johnny Bench's bat.

    16 of the 29 guys drafted ahead of Michael have yet to hit the big leagues including 6 who also played college ball. It's not a race.

    I don't care if they hire from outside the organization or inside the organization. I would not have cared if they had been the first team to fill their managerial opening and I won't care if they are the last. The only thing I care about is that the choice they make is the right one as validated by sustained success on the field. If the choice is Molitor, I'm OK with that. But if it is Molitor, please don't rationalize the choice with any statements that includes the phrase "He's a Hall of Famer." The entire list guys who have won a World Series ring as a manager AFTER being enshrined in Cooperstown as a player includes-NOBODY. It's never been done. So please don't use it as a selling point.

    It's not a race. The object isn't to get it done first. The object is to get it done right.

    Always amazed at fans that think that since Mauer moved to first base he's suddenly going to become something he's never been and most likely never will be--a power hitter. Why would you expect a guy who has only hit more than 13 home runs once in eleven years to hit 30 big flies? It's not going to happen and that's not the reason he was moved to first base. He was moved to first base to avoid an even steeper decline in his productivity than he experienced in 2014. And, yes, it is possible, maybe even likely that 2014 was just a blip on the radar screen and for the next few years he reverts to being a .300 plus hitter with an .850 OPS, 15 home runs, 40 doubles and 85-90 runs scored and RBI. But he is NEVER going to be a monster power hitter. Stop fooling yourselves.
