New GM/Cubs Future News Articles
jersey cubs fan replied to Clem Fandango's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Castro is a nice piece, but he is nowhere near the kind of player you worry about "wasting" his cheap years. That is such an incredibly stupid comment to make. He's exactly the kind of player you worry about wasting his cheap years. Not only is he already far ahead of what anybody could reasonably expect, once he does become expensive, he's going to stay expensive for a long time. He'll be a free agent before he's peaked. That doesn't happen. -
Bears preseason week 2; Monday August 22nd at the Giants

So you thought it made sense to gloat about the second half of a preseason game that did not even follow your team? Second half of a preseason game? -
Are you for serious? I hope he mixed up Bruce Miles and Bruce Levine. Bruce has been one of the only people in the media to question Hendry's ability to do that job based on his outdated philosophies. He's been the only one pointing out the flaws in Hendry's be aggressive, swing swing swing, give me some athletes, damn the computers philosophy. But he's a beat writer who does it more subtly than a bombastic columnist would. Others have attacked Hendry, but they only do it because attack is their only style. And they don't even know what they are attacking.

You never bank of an elite player becoming available in his prime a couple years down the road. -
It worked that way on Liar, Liar so I assume that's true.

Mostly.

He moved to the US with his family as a kid in the 90's and got himself set-up in high school then college. I'm pretty sure all the other guys who got busted with visa issues came in with a much different route. Although if the Cubs sign him I'd happily join the group who thinks it's ridiculous to question his age. -

No reason not to play hard ball with him. Big money secondary contracts to RB routinely end up biting the team in the butt eventually. He's not a free agent, and he's not elite, so he shouldn't expect elite RB money. -
Hendry was a game over .500 too. This means nothing. W% matters.

Baseball guy means that from the time you left high school baseball was the primary factor in your life. You either played in college or got drafted into some minor league organization. You stayed involved at many levels and when your playing career was over you went right into some coaching or scouting capacity and worked your way up.

Who gives a crap what Boers and Bernstein say about what Kenney considers himself. The guy is a business executive for a company whose primary business is to play baseball. He is a baseball executive. So freaking what.
-
Perhaps one who heard Ricketts say today that the new GM will report directly to him, and recognizes that hearsay about Kenney doing nebulous things like "meddling" would be a ridiculous reason to pass on an opportunity as great as the Cubs GM position. I hoppe you are right and that Kenney has no effect on the hiring process. Although, Kenney getting launched would make me feel a lot better about that. He runs the business side of the Chicago Cubs. That fact has been clear as day for years. It's been repeated by those in charge many times.

According to Jon Heyman of SI:
-
Mark Shapiro and Paul DePodesta are two guys I know who've admitted the same thing. Kenney isn't a GM or even baseball ops FO guys like those guys are... I understand that. I was just trying to speculate on why people randomly hate him. Because he's a suit, and people are conditioned to hate the suits. The term baseball guy gets bandied about because all you really have to do is be around long enough. Outsiders are hated. He's tied in with the Tribune and people blame the tribune for the failures of the baseball team

Jim Hendry was fired today.
-
Hollandsworth is fellating the fanbase more than I fellated Tom Ricketts today, and given how sore my jaw is, that says a lot. I keep getting kicked off the site, am I posting too much?
-
Hollandsworth is about 20 feet from third base right now. Ramirez should go hurt him.
-
Hollandsworth going on about the really long contracts that created the byproduct of this team we see. Quade coming up soon.
-
Kerry Wood at the podium for some dumb reason. Sad day for him.
-
maybe we could just cuddle until you are ready?
-
Tom, do you need to pop some viagra to keep this going? I'm not done yet.
-
cubs just sent me an email. Jim Hendry was fired. more at 11

sullivan asked hands tied question and about Zambrano decision. We were in close communication, he handled it properly. Obviously it's really unfortunate. His behavior was unacceptable to team and organization. Right now it is between players union and baseball. Can't talk openly today. 100% support Jim and our decision to put him on disqualified list.
