I wrote about Brooks Lee's dramatic defensive improvement and why the midseason move from shortstop to third base was so successful right away: www.aarongleeman.com/twins-notes-...

Twins notes: New pitching coach Brian Reith and Brooks Lee's golden move to third base

Reith was the Triple-A pitching coach in the Rays' organization and replaces Pete Maki, who was fired by the Twins after they ranked 25th in ERA this season.

Twins have hired Brian Reith as their new pitching coach. He replaces Pete Maki, who was let go last month. Reith, who pitched briefly in the majors for the Reds from 2001-2004, spent the past five seasons as the Triple-A pitching coach in the Rays' farm system.

Brooks Lee named a Gold Glove finalist at third base, which is remarkable considering he moved there in mid-May after struggling at shortstop. Lee went from a weakness to a strength in the field, and from mid-May forward he was the Twins' best defender. x.com/RawlingsSpor...

I think the Twins' three biggest roster holes this offseason are the exact same as their three biggest roster holes last season. Now we'll see if they make the same mistakes again: www.aarongleeman.com/what-are-the...

Three glaring roster weaknesses require outside help, and the Twins can't afford to repeat the same mistake as last offseason by ignoring their largest holes.
