Some of the Padre fans there bring up Darren Balsley coming to Chicago too. Do they know something we don't? As pitching coach or manager? Would be pretty ballsy to bring in a pitching coach before you've named your manager. Is Jaramillo still under contract as well?

 

You're right, it would be pretty Balsley.

Did a nice job of drafting with San Diego. Always had rave reviews when he was an understudy in Boston. Sample is too small to evaluate his tenure in SD, I think. Not so sure about the Gonzalez trade being a great package. Most of those guys look like future role players at best.

More from GasLampBaseball.com:

 

Me, personally? I still kinda don't think Jed Hoyer would go and I don't want him to go. DON'T GO, JED HOYER. That would be a dick move. Showing up all young faced and handsome just out of college and then cutting and running. Like San Diego's some stepping stone job.

 

Oh, what's that, Dave Winfield? It is a stepping stone job? Hmmmm... Adrian Gonzalez? What's that you say? You don't blame him? Well, yeah Sandy Alomar, I get it, but still... No. No... I totally understand, Padres Pitching Staff, there are good opportunities. No, Ghost of Jake Peavy's career, I don't even want to hear about Chicago from you, a-hole. Seriously, Paul DePodesta. Don't you pile on. Ah... eff it never mind.

a great part about hoyer and macleod getting hired and announced now is that it totally shreds what little leverage boston has. they can't hold us hostage now.

 

 

I suggested he do that a couple days ago, only said Byrnes instead of Hoyer.

 

So I'm really smart.

The reports were that Epstein has a lot of respect for Wilken so I'm not sure he would have any problem with this string of hires.

Yeah, but if you look at who didn't give up a lot to get AG we still come out a winner...

Number 2 daughter renamed Jed Hoyer...

 

I dunno, I think "Number 2" was a great name.

 

I've been in a bad mood all day and this was the first thing that made me chuckle today for some reason.
