Is there much history of two publicized managerial candidates for the same job working together as manager/bench coach?
-
I don't think that would ever happen. I think Sandberg will leave the Cubs if he doesn't get the job, especially if the new manager is young. Sandberg sounds like he will take any path to a major league managerial position he can. If no one offers one this offseason and he feels that being a bench coach will get him faster to that goal, then he would take the job. He sounds to me like its manager or bust this season. He talked about being a AAA manager being higher up than a MLB bench coach. He's getting himself thrown out of games left and right and generally trying not to be the quiet nice guy he was as a player. I get the feeling he'd spurn the Cubs if they offered a bench coach spot but accept one elsewhere just to show he's serious.

I'm more against him now that I was 10 minutes ago. I think it's even more dangerous than the baseball person who spits at stats. It's the Jim Hendry style of placating people by focusing on a couple stats to make it look like you're into it.

But it's at least more than west coast guy on west coast team that is face of franchise who might be a free agent 15 months from now. -
Sammy Sosa has some things to say about the Cubs
jersey cubs fan replied to UMFan83's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Agreed with all but the end. I believe Sammy himself said he asked not to be put in the lineup that day. This is all so meaningless though. I just googled the incident and the article said he was told he wasn't starting and that's why he left. Maybe that's not the case. -

jersey cubs fan replied to UMFan83's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
He was told he wasn't starting, so he left. It was clearly bad form, but it is also completely meaningless. The guy played 160 every year, and despite actually playing reasonably well that year received an inordinate amount of blame for the team struggling and was benched in the final game. That was an unnecessary insult. -
That is your assumption. Your are also going to spend more and for longer term, and presumably be further removed from the recession, with more teams able to spend more money. Ideally I'd take Gonzalez, I just don't see any logic in passing on a guy who fits a need now and has every indication in being ready to sign with the Cubs to wait for a guy who may never even become a free agent a year later and with no indication that the Cubs are high on his list.

No he can't. If a 1B isn't hitting he's not providing value. Defense matters at first base, just not nearly as much as most other positions. Doesn't make a lick of a difference when trying to claim a 1B that can't hit can provide value. If the Cubs have a high priced 1B that can't hit, it's gonna suck regardless of his glove.

Why is it assumed Dunn won't age well? Power hitter with patience doesn't scream to me guy can't last. It's not like he relies on his legs or supreme atheticism.
-
I think there's a good chance he'll be available, not that the Cubs necessarily will get him. That said, the free agent market will be much, much stronger (as it stands now) in 2012 than this offseason. Thus, there's far more alternatives for teams to spend on that year than there are this year. With a more shallow pool, you're looking at more of a likelihood that teams get desperate to make a splash and try too heavily for Dunn, whereas teams might start shying away more quickly from Gonzalez when there are numerous other upgrade opportunities available on the market. Well then the Cubs can go out and spend on other options in 2012 if they have 1B settled. Also, free agency always looks better the further out you go, because guys haven't signed their extensions yet.

Show me what game Sammy "walked out in the middle of" where he was in the starting lineup and was actually playing? Go ahead..I'll wait. Read better. Letting that slide because Sosa is underrated by idiots like Rozner is almost as bad as using it as an excuse to hate him for being a power hitter. He left a meaningless game he wasn't a part of. It's not good, but it's hardly a big deal. -
Holy Crap!!!!! Really?
-
You need to trade for Randy Wells.
-
Torre left with as many critics as those that revered him. Girardi is going to have to win more titles than Torre if he wants to be forever embraced by all. Girardi would be revered in Chicago with accomplishing a whole hell of a lot less.
-
I hate just about every word that came out of his mouth in this segment What the hell is he talking about? Stats aren't something you relay to players depending on game situation.
-
.306/.404/.449 in August. He's shown he is capable of hitting well, he's hitting well of late and he's one of the few remaining decent hitters on the team/in the lineup. Fukudome isn't in there. Colvin has cooled considerably. Soriano has had a rough second half and has sucked in August. I'm not sure what the problem is.
-
Reading the quotes from Cutler and Martz it's pretty clear everybody agrees he was terrible.
-
Not good for Rocket Roger
jersey cubs fan replied to hardcorecubfan's topic in General Baseball Talk
Yay, another recruit to the dark side. It's just a giant circle jerk of already overly praised people heaping praise on one another. The fact that there is a significicant portion of the population that feels bad for guys who don't get in makes me laugh. -
Should I know who this guy is?
-
I think it's really a crazy idea to pass on a guy you can get this year for the theoretical possibility of getting somebody else next year. It makes very little sense.
-
I'm still not sure how you drop that kind of dough in 1 night in Vegas without: A) gambling B) paying for female companionship C) having a LOT of freeloaders around Whatever. If the only rules they broke were the 20 year old had a few drinks, I couldn't care less. If my daddy were that rich, I'd have a good time too. It's not like Paris Hilton wasn't dropping that kind of cash all the time at that age. Why the big deal with MJ's kids? If you gave me 56k with a Monty Brewster set of rules for the day, it would be a snap.

Of course it is. But the point Pompei was making is that after watching Peppers light him up for a month, and then Williams having a bad game against the Raiders he didn't look like the guy everybody had assumed he was. It does not say the season is over find another tackle no need to play the regular season. I think you people are overreacting to somebody pointing out a potential negative. The fact is Williams has to be really good out there for this team to have a chance. He has not been very good in practice or in the only preseason game the offense has played so far. There should be some doubt and Williams has to come back and be what everybody expected him to be. It's not doom and gloom or apoplectic. It's not calling his game the worst thing that has ever happened. at his hall of fame induction ceremony, we're all going to look back on this hand-wringing and smile. I forget what I wrote about the team this offseason, no way I recall what I thought of Williams in 20 years.
