New GM brings hope for Minnesota Twins

Well, the 2007 season was painful for Twins fans, as it saw the end of their 6 year winning streak. They didn't even make it to the playoffs, though maybe that's less traumatic because they never seem to make it all the way to the World Series anyway. It seems that a major reorganization is in order, so Terry Ryan stepped down to be the Senior Advisor to the General Manager, Bill Smith was promoted to Senior Vice President/General Manager, Mike Radcliff was promoted to Vice President/Player Personnel, Rob Antony is now the Assistant General Manager, Deron Johnson is the Director of Scouting, and Brad Steil is the Director of Baseball Operations. The real question is, will all these changes bring improvements, or will they just weaken the team? I guess we'll have to wait until next season to see.
