According to Patrick Reusse of 1500ESPN, the Twins are set to hire Paul Molitor as their next manager.
Molitor had long been considered the favorite to earn the honor. He spent the 2014 season as an assistant coach for the Twins, with a focus on base running, bunting, infield instruction and positioning, and in-game strategy. While he has no managerial experience, he spent three seasons as a bench coach with the organization and also served as the hitting instructor for the Mariners in 2004. He becomes just the third manager for the franchise since Tom Kelly took over during the 1986 season. Nov 1 - 11:49 AM

Good luck to my favorite player of all time. Smart choice.

Very happy they decided on Molitor.

Always loved Molitor as a player. This gets me thinking, has any HOF player, after being elected to hall, achieved success as a manager? No one comes to mind so I've got to research.

Frank Robinson comes to mind.

Frank Robinson comes to mind.

No, he was an average manager. Won nothing. He was a beast of a player though.

Good move by the Twins. Always liked Molitor. I hope him and Sandberg become correct answers to the HOF/Manager question.
