Dream finally comes true for Twins coach
Twins manager Paul Molitor discusses how he expects the team to change next season and improve from 2016FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Jeff Smith has dreamed about reaching the Major Leagues since he was drafted by the Minnesota Twins in 1995.
"I've been a Minnesota Twin for almost half my life," Smith said. "I bleed Minnesota Twins."
Over two decades after being drafted, Smith, 42, will walk out onto the field this season in a big league uniform. Granted, it won't be the way he first envisioned it, but after falling just short as a player he is ready to make his big league debut in another capacity. Smith will be a member of the Twins' Major League staff this season.
