I've gone back and forth on Molitor, never being quite completely sold. I wouldn't be upset if that's the way the Twins decided to go, but Mientkiewics would be my first choice. While yes, it would be a 'promote from within' route, I still think it represents a much-needed younger, energetic winning outlook and I get very enthused with the thought of it. While Molitor has shown he's willing to embrace some of the more 'new-fangled' ideas and technologies available, in my mind he still seems like that 'older expected safe standard' that I think is now the time to move away from. Not that age should be a factor, but Molitor is older than Gardy. I think the new manager should be able to 'run with the kids' for years to come. I've stated before I think it's time for change, but I wouldn't be irate if Gardy were allowed to finish out his contract sans Anderson. If he wants to resign before his contract is up, then so be it and let's usher in the era of Dougie Baseball. (Btw, I am not in agreement of a manager starting a brawl as being some kind of awesome but that's perhaps a different discussion.)
