Hall-of-Fame former Twin, Brewer, and Blue Jay Paul Molitor has decided to pass on the opportunity to become the new hitting coach for the Minnesota Twins. With Al Newman's departure to join the staff of the Arizona Diamondbacks, a spot opened up in the Twins coaching staff. Should Molitor have accepted an offer from the Twins, it was speculated that he would have taken over as hitting coach, while current hitting coach Scott Ullger would have taken over Newman's former duties as third base coach. Molitor cited wanting flexibility in his schedule and more time to spend with his family as reasons for passing on the job.
