Sandberg

[98navigator]

Sandberg will manage his first Spring game this Saturday. He is eager to help the players develop and he's hoping that the hard work that they put in, the last few weeks, will be reflected in the games.

 

"I've had my stern moments" "I've had team meetings already. I've had to stop fundamentals drills to get them done right.

 

"There's discipline and accountability almost daily. You have to set the tone early. Things that happen now can carry over for the next five months if you let them."

If his Yahoo.com columns are any indication of his managerial style, I'm very pessimistic.

I'm glad he finally decided he needed the minor league time, instead of thinking he should go right to the majors. Hopefully after spending time in Lou's presence, and under his influence, he'll open his eyes a bit from his very narrow view of the game. I think a couple seasons in the minors, and then maybe some time as a bench coach under the right manager would help him a lot. But he won't be successful if he sticks to the rigid mentality of yesteryear.

As a Sandberg fan, I'm pulling for him. I think like most things in life, your eyes open and your methods change with time and experience in a field. He'll learn hands on in the system and hopefully improve.

I surely hope Sandberg becomes a valuable addition to the Cubs organization. As my favorite player when I was younger, seeing him succeed is nice. But right now, I'm fairly certain I don't want him managing the Cubs ever unless he changes some of his thinking.
