Cubs looking to hire assistant GM

[RynoRules]

I would think that if you intend to apply you should harp on your applicable experience - if you have a degree or background in statistical analysis for example. If you are just going to say, "I am a die hard Cubs fan and watch lots of baseball", I think you'll find they will place your app ever so gently in the circular drawer.

Heh, my thoughts as well.

 

I'd probaby go "Do you know what is a OBP? How about a WHIP? Or how about OPS?

 

Then go on to explain the OBP. In baseball statistics, on base percentage (OBP) (sometimes referred to as on base average [OBA], as the statistic is rarely presented as a true percentage) is a measure of how often a batter reaches base for any reason other than a fielding error, fielder's choice, fielder's obstruction, or catcher's interference (the latter two are ignored as either times-on-base [TOB] or plate appearances in calculating OBP). OBP is added to slugging average to determine on-base plus slugging (OPS).

 

Yeah, that should get me the job. :lol: :wink:

Well, where do I fax my resume?

Not sure. But if you want to mail it, send it to:

Cover Letter

 

Dear Mr. Hendry

 

I am a life long Cubs Fan, and would very much like to be considered for the Assistant General Manager Position. I watch baseball everyday on television and occasionally partially drunk in person. I have excellent player evaluation skills. During a house party in 2002, I told a random person that Mark Belhorn would be an MVP candidate in two years. I am also very proud of my baseball playing career. I played pitcher and outfield on my town's 7th grade B team. In two innings I once had 5 strikeout, along with 6 walks, 3 wild pitches, and I cried in front of everyone when the ball was hit back to me.

 

I also have wonderful decision making abilities. I gave my fiance a Neifi Perez jersey for an anniversary present. She said she wanted a diamond heart pendant, but Mr. Hendry, I know women as much as I know baseball.

 

Please call me to set up an interview

 

Sincerely,

 

Nik Nadkarni

AM 1000 is reporting the Cubs will name Randy Bush Asst. GM this week. Said he is a special assistant under Hendry presently.

That sounds like a pretty good choice if true, certainly much better choice than Wilken which was mentioned in the paper.

Isn't he a MacPhail guy?

He played under MacPhail in Minnesota. Not sure how much of a disciple he is in terms of front office work.

Bush was hired to work under Hendry when Hendry was firmly established as GM. I've only seen him when he was scouting the Chiefs.
