Oh, what a start to the offseason...

 

Trib[/url]"]ANAHEIM -- Larry Rothschild turned down a lucrative offer to join new Detroit manager Jim Leyland and will return as pitching coach of the Cubs in 2006.

 

Rothschild left a guaranteed three-year deal on the table, according to major-league sources, preferring to remain in Chicago. He was not given a multiyear contract with the Cubs but decided to say no to the Tigers because of his loyalty to the organization and his pitchers.

................

With Rothschild returning, the Cubs are expected to announce Tuesday that Dusty Baker's entire coaching staff will be back in 2006.

Well, kiddies, Set back and enjoy another season of 120 pitches through 5 IPs for the Cubs staff, as they "RACK UP THE STRIKEOUTS." And watch the Cards win the division EVEN quicker then this yr.

In his four years as Cubs pitching coach, Rothschild has helped in the development of Mark Prior, Carlos Zambrano and other young pitchers.

I think by "development" he means "all sorts of f---ing arm trouble". You'll have to excuse him, he used the wrong synonym.

It is simply amazing to me that an organization that has gotten progressively worse over the past two seasons has done nothing. I guess they really must believe that injuries are the root cause of the problems with this team.

To be Nero, wouldn't Andy have to destroy the fabric of something currently great?

 

I am not that opposed to Rothschild returning, though I would have liked a whole new coaching staff. However, there is also something to be said for a consistent approach. One of the things about the Braves is that they've been very stable, so the systems have a chance to get ingrained.

 

The fact that many of us aren't fans of the systems being ingrained is more of an issue, I realize. I guess I'm just saying that I didn't want change just for change's sake. If we couldn't get House, Peterson or a few other particular guys, then I would just as soon stay with Larry. He's not a bad pitching coach by any means.

 

Now Clines & Sarge, on the other hand...

 

I want Von Joshua.

Yes, but the Braves coaches are good. That tends to make a difference.

Rothschild is a good pitching coach. He's just not a great one.

 

Every coach is going to have guys he's able to bring along and ones that he's not. Larry has done a very good job with some of the pitchers on the staff, including Clement, Dempster, Z and others. He's not done as well with some others. I'd like to see a much greater focus on bio-mechanics, hence my preference for House and Peterson.

 

But Larry is not a bad PC at all.
