"Steven Michael Liddle" was a Major League Baseball third base coach for the Minnesota Twins. He was previously the Twins' bench coach from 2002-2010 before swapping roles with Scott Ullger. In October 2012, after two 96 plus losing seasons, it was announced Liddle's contract would not be renewed thus ending his stint in Minnesota.

We have to develop from within.
