The Minnesota Twins know better than to mess with
success. Wednesday afternoon the Twins announced that
the entire Fort Myers Miracle coaching staff will
return in 2004. Almost.

Jose Marzan will lead the Miracle for the fifth season
in a row after leading the Miracle to the Florida
State League playoffs last season.

Eric Rasmussen will be back for his sixth season as
pitching coach. Larry Bennese will again be the team's
trainer.

Only hitting coach Mike Tosar will not return. Tosar
will be replaced by former major leaguer Floyd
Rayford.

Rayford played third base and catcher for the
Baltimore Orioles and the St. Louis Cardinals during a
seven-year major league career. Rayford hit .224 with
38 home runs and 117 RBI in 390 games. Rayford hit
.306 with 18 homers while with the Orioles in 1985.
