Just a random thought

Is it a coincidence that the end of Maddux's player contract (ends next year, If I'm not horribly mistaken) coincides with the long-awaited End of Dusty's mangerial contract? Could Hendry be aiming to replace Dusty with Maddux? And, if so - would it be a good idea? I personally think Maddux would work, but I'm wondering what you all have to say. Any major objections to Maddux? Again, just a random thought.

I don't think that's the case at all, and I have no idea if it would be a good idea. My guess is no.

I don't believe this is the case, mainly because Greg, from what I know, wants nothing to do with managing or coaching once he is done playing. But would I like to see it? Hell yes.

I wouldn't mind giving him a shot at pitching coach.

Yes.

You wouldn't mind? I'd embrace it fully. Any guy that could emphasize control with this organization I would welcome with bells on. His stats with respect to BB's are awesome. And that's a huge problem with our pitchers.

Well considering Maddux was signed to a 3 year deal after the Cubs went to the NLCS and Dusty was at the height of his popularity in Chicago leads me to believe that...no
