Lee Elia for hitting coach?

[b_wiggy_66]

This from Newsday today:

 

"Lee Elia, Lou Piniella's longtime buddy, has held talks about becoming the Cubs' hitting coach."

Von Joshua, man...get Von...

 

Or Chambliss...

[UMFan83]

The same Lee Elia that stated that he had extra motivation to 'fix' Corey Patterson because he came from the Cubs?

Keep Von down in AAA to help guys like Pie plz.

 

Also, Lee %@ing Elia back with the Cubs would be hilarious.

Haha. That's great. I wonder what he thinks of over 30,000 people coming out everyday now. Higher unemployment rates? :D

Papa Jackson, plz. Or Chambliss (second choice).

 

Keep Von Joshua in the minors...it'll be interesting to see what he can do with Ryan Harvey and Brian Dopirak.

Lee Elia, who has worked as a coach under Lou Piniella in Seattle and Tampa Bay, may be joining the Cubs as a scout and working mostly from his Florida home, but also showing up in Mesa, Ariz., at spring training. Elia served as the Cubs' manager in the early '80s

That doesn't surprise me. He resigned his position in Baltimore because he wanted to be with his family more.
