Apparently the scouting, drafting player development left us with guys that takes a minor miracle to win with. I'm looking forward to utilizing analytics in our scouting, drafting and player development. Then again I do like to watch winning teams vs hoping analytics is a fad/trend.
As I told my wife JUST YESTERDAY, I would be all for this hire just to have a manger named Rocco.

I'm a little shocked that I'm the one "breaking" the news here - Rocco Baldelli is your new Twins manager. Thoughts?

Hmmm. Name's "Baldelli" and he's from Rhode Island. I suppose it was either this or running a waste management company.
I like it. I like it a lot.
I'm not. Hiring the youngest manager in MLB is right up the current regime's alley. Not impressed.
As always, we will see. Dude has always been highly thought of as a coach and an eventual MLB manager. The two downsides from where I sit:
Total lack of experience as a manager at any level
The health condition that led to his retirement as a player could hinder him as a manager. It causes fatigue, and fatigue and burnout are what gets to even the best managers over the long, long season.
I didn't realize Tom Kelly was that young when he was hired. He sure looked older than he was.
