Molitor turning page on 2016

By:Bill Ladson / MLB.com

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- Hall of Famer and Twins manager Paul Molitor has worked in Major League Baseball since 1978 and called last season the worst of his career.

It didn't help that the Twins lost a Major League-leading 103 games. Molitor was hoping to build off of the previous season, when Minnesota surprised everybody by winning 83 games and finding themselves in the Wild Card race until the last week of the season. But things went south last year.

The Twins finished last in the American League in pitching and defense and ranked 21st in offense. Molitor admitted last season left a bad taste in his mouth, but didn't lose his temper in front of his players.

"You can look at analytics and try to explain 103 losses, but it [was] pretty simple for me; we were the worst in pitching, we were worst in protecting the baseball and catching it," Molitor said to the podcast, "Newsmakers." "Pitching and defense -- we heard it for decades. If you are bottoming out in those areas, it's not going to bode well in the wins column."

Molitor plans to turn the page, but doesn't intend to forget what happened in 2016. He said there is going to be a lot more competition for jobs this year.

"I'm not assuming anything for anybody," Molitor said. "Part of my message was: We don't have a lot of people in the position to be on scholarship anymore. We have to go out there and earn the at-bats, earn the innings and hope for the competition to help us along with more experience."
