MINNEAPOLIS - The search has begun for a new manager of the Minnesota Twins for the first time in 13 years. Caleb Sturgis Jersey . After four straight seasons of at least 92 losses, the mandate to find a fresh perspective in the dugout has been made clear.Were going to change the voice and change the presence, general manager Terry Ryan said.This is an organization that has historically promoted from within. In discussing Ron Gardenhires dismissal this week, both Ryan and team President Dave St. Peter acknowledged their belief in the benefits of hiring an internal candidate. Can the Twins do that and steer the team new direction at the same time?Well certainly open it up to anybody and everybody that is capable of managing a major league baseball team. I dont think we ought to just stay within, although that would be a nice preference if you could, Ryan said. That will be addressed and certainly explored, but also there are people outside the organization you should consider. Well get it done as soon as we can.Ryan added: Itd be nice to get a guy thats inside because he knows the workings of this organization and the market and the ballpark and the personnel. That would be great, but sometimes its not meant to be.Paul Molitor has been widely assumed as a favourite to succeed Gardenhire since he was added to the coaching staff for the 2014 season. Born and raised across the river in St. Paul, a product of the same high school as Twins first baseman Joe Mauer, Molitor has Hall of Fame member on his resume plus a long list of tributes from players in the organization whove worked with him during his 10 years as a roving minor league instructor.Though Molitor is an internal candidate with strong roots to the Twin Cities area, that doesnt mean hes in the same mould or from a similar style as Gardenhire. Molitor was the teams bench coach in 2000-01 under manager Tom Kelly, but he withdrew from consideration when Kelly retired due to the unsettledness around a franchise on the verge of being eliminated by MLB owners. Gardenhire got the job and kept it for 13 years.Molitor took a step back before rejoining the organization in 2003 to teach minor leaguers about base running and infield play. He was Seattles hitting coach in 2004 but came back to the Twins the following year.Second baseman Brian Dozier is a proud protege, having worked with Molitor two years ago during his transition from shortstop on footwork and positioning.He takes so much time and effort to do that one thing, to get it down 100 per cent correct, to get all the information we need ... whether thats offence or defence or whatever it is, Dozier said. Hes probably the most knowledgeable guy about the game of baseball Ive ever been around.That would clearly fit with Ryans stated preference of qualities for the position.We want him to be a strategy guy. Id like to have him be an attention-to-detail guy. Hes got to be a leader, a tactician, handle the media, involved in the community, take an interest in our minor leagues and scouting and so forth, have a grasp of the organizational policies, Ryan said.Molitors influence on the up-and-coming players would certainly figure to work in his favour.Maybe a manager brings less to a more veteran team, but a manager can bring a ton to a younger team, owner Jim Pohlad said.This will be Ryans most important decision since he returned to his post in 2012, and the entire organization has taken the failures of the last four years seriously enough to realize the importance of assessing outside-of-the-box options.Among the other potential internal candidates are bench coach Terry Steinbach, former first baseman and current Class A Fort Myers manager Doug Mientkiewicz, and Triple-A Rochester manager Gene Glynn.With so many young players from Venezuela, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, a Spanish-speaking manager could be a wise move, so New York Yankees bench coach Tony Pena might be considered. Pena interviewed with Ryan in 2001 and was hired the following year as Kansas Citys manager. Other well-regarded bench coaches around the majors include Dave Martinez of Tampa Bay, Chip Hale of Oakland and Torey Luvollo of Boston.Lots of options outside. Still, that lure toward the inside will be strong.Just because folks have been inside, St. Peter said, doesnt mean that we dont believe they could be successful if given the platform to have their voice heard and that they couldnt be a part of establishing that winning culture.

ST. JOHNS, N.L. -- The sound of the final buzzer going off on Saturday night was music to St. Johns IceCaps goalie Michael Hutchinsons ears. Hutchinson earned a 42-save shutout to lead his team over the Binghamton Senators 1-0 in American Hockey League action. "I was pretty excited when the final buzzer went," Hutchinson said. "I didnt even realize when it first went off, I was getting ready for the guy who was about to take a shot. "After that, everything hits you and you start reflecting and enjoying it once you get in the locker room." IceCaps head coach Keith McCambridge said the star of the game tonight was an expected one. "I thought our best player was obviously who everybody knows it was, its Hutchinson," McCambridge said. "It was all him. He bailed us out numerous times, and credit the guys who were blocking shots." The IceCaps were aware what they were up against playing the Senators, who lead the league in goals scored this year. "They are the number one ranked team offfensively in the league, and they showed that tonight," McCambridge said. Derwin James Jersey. "We turned over too many pucks, to give them opportunities." Hutchinson says playing against a team with the offensive production of the Senators is a welcome challenge. "Its always really fun to play when we play against a team with as much offensive power as Binghamton has," Hutchinson said. "You know youre going to face shots and youre going to be relied on." Eric ODell scored for the IceCaps (34-19-4). Andrew Hammond made 24 saves for the Senators (33-19-4). St. Johns opened the scoring 11:41 into the game, as Kael Mouillierat found ODell headed to the net. ODell finished off a low one-time wrist shot. St. Johns was outshot 17-8 through the first period but held on to the lead due to strong play from Hutchinson. Halfway through the second period, Hutchinson made the save of the night, sprawling with his left pad to shut down Corey Cowick on a cross-crease opportunity to preserve the lead.
