MINNEAPOLIS -- After the dust settled on a Twins season that saw them surpass outside expectations by remaining in postseason contention until the second-to-last day, Twins general manager Terry Ryan met with the media for an hour at Target Field on Tuesday.
Ryan said he was pleased with the way the season went, but he believes they can and should be better going forward. He said that while many labeled the Twins' season as surprising, it isn't viewed that way by the organization.
"Early on in Spring Training I told people who wanted to listen we had a chance to be pretty decent here, and we got off to that very difficult start and it made me look foolish," Ryan said.
