Derek Shelton is already making additions to his staff. The Twins' new manager has brought on LaTroy Hawkins as Minnesota's newest bullpen coach, bringing some hope to fans that an organizational legend can help uplift a pitching staff that needs plenty of work.
Hawkins pitched for nine seasons with the Twins. He began his big league career with this team from 1995-2003, but he has maintained strong relationships within the organization. Hawkins has not only been a special assistant within baseball operations' staff, but he was also on the call for Twins games.
