Tangotiger is Exclusively Consulting for the Cubs

[Guest]

This is Tom Tango, right? Excellent. He is the guy i was most hoping they would target, assuming they would also target someone to fill the consultant role filled for the Red Sox by Bill James. Good luck to everyone applying for the job opening!

 

Yes, it is Tom Tango. He did a bit of a Q&A with ESPN Chicago here.

 

thanks for posting that

From today's FanGraphs chat with Dave Cameron

 

Is Tango now working for the Cubs? If so, will this affect the public's ability to receive Marcel projections?

 

Dave Cameron: His deal with the Cubs is similar to ones he's had with the Blue Jays and Mariners in the past. He can still work in the public space, but he's limited to what he can write about with regards to the team he's working for.

 

A couple of others not related to Tango:

 

Which lower echelon team did the most to improve themselves this offseason?

 

Dave Cameron: The Blue Jays. Then the Cubs.

 

Speaking of the Cubs, it seems Theo and Jed make a very nice team in the front office. How long before you see them being serious contenders?

 

Dave Cameron: They're doing it right. Probably 2014, though.

 

Who do you think has the best Front Office in MLB?

 

Dave Cameron: Toronto, Chicago, New York, Oakland... pick one.

He mentioned Tampa later on, after being reminded.
