Exit Terry Ryan

As I was driving around this afternoon I heard the news - Terry Ryan, the GM of the Twins, is resigning, with all of his underlings essentially moving up one spot.

This is interesting news, especially given the timing. The Twins have had a magical run over the past 6-7 years, largely due to the efforts of Ryan and his team to keep finding good, low-cost players and building a pitching-rich farm system. Given the meager resources provided by the Pohlads, it's been nothing short of amazing to see what Terry Ryan has been able to do. This can't be good news that he's decided to take a smaller role within the organization.

It's good to know a Janesville Parker guy can make good, though.
