I doubt most Minnesotans know who this man is.
He's the new Twins' manager. The first thing he's trying to do this spring is find a lead-off hitter. All three of last year's guys, Grossman, Dozier, and Mauer are gone.
Everybody thinks that Byron Buxton should have the job, BUT Baldelli is smart enough to know that Buxton has the worst on-base percentage of anyone in the game's history. (Okay, that's a slight exaggeration, but you get the idea.)
Right now, he's trying Kepler, the Twins recently resigned multi-millionaire.
Zack Granite WOULD have been a good choice, but he's been reassigned to Triple A to make room for Marwin Gonzalez, who we DID sign. He'll probably be the Twins 4th outfielder when he's not playing infield.
The Twins are a puzzle with most of the pieces still missing. Let's hope Rocco can make the pieces fit, otherwise it's going to be another really long season.
