How in the world has Rick Anderson not been fired? When was the last time he made any pitcher better? More pitchers get worse than get better under Anderson.

For what it’s worth, LEN3 says that head trainer Rick McWane was also let go.

100% in agreement with you, because its been a problem for a while.

I honestly think Pohlad needs to nuke all of management. Of course I’m not in any of the GM’s offices, but I see three floundering teams in the Cubs, Astros, and Twins and two of them seem to be on the right track.

And neither of them are the Twins. Blurgh.

They fire Stellie when the bullpen was one of the few things that performed moderately well for the Twins the past year. After years of Liddle as bench coach and Ullger as 3B coach, they swapped positions before the 2011 season. I guess Gardie decided he liked Ullger better on the bench.

I need five good reasons why the medical staff hasn’t been cut. Anyone have ANY clues? Also, idea for future topic: Where in the world is Carl Pavano?
