“I was very pleased with what we accomplished offensively,” Brunansky said of this year’s Twins team, according to Fox Sports North’s Tyler Mason. “We were in games. Our boys battled.”

Brunansky will return as Twins hitting coach in 2015. Pretty much a no-brainer. Youth-driven lineup was team's biggest strength this year.
