Though it hasn't been officially reported by the Twins, my sources tell we have a new pitching coach, Neil Allen. He was the Triple A pitching coach for Tampa Bay the last several years and is responsible (or taking credit) for all their great young pitchers. He's never been in the Twins organization and has never been a teammate of Paul Molitor. He's as "outsider" as you can get as a coach. His reputation is solid.
For those keeping track:
At this point the Twins have filled five of the seven coaching slots:
Pitching coach: Allen
Bench coach: (Vacant)
Third base coach: Gene Glynn
First base coach: (Vacant)
Hitting coach: Tom Brunansky
Asst. hitting coach: Rudy Hernandez
Bullpen coach: Eddie Guardado
Whar are the credentials for bench coach? I am thinking about applying.
