Yea we heard that Baker was a big draw for free agents to, and how many top notch free agents came to the Cubs while he was here? And the statement about Torre being a big draw in the ticket office and that is a reason the Cubs should hire him is absolutely ridiculous. The Cubs sell out every year regardless of who the manager is. And the managers "marketabillity" should have no bearing on whether the Cubs hire him or not. Torre underachieved while in New York, and he led St Louis into the ground while there. I never said the Yanks troubles were all Torres fault, but with the teams hes had they should have more WS championships. And as for him managing better on the northside without the pressure, thats ridiculous as well. Lets all hope and pray Torre retires, because he is vastly overrated as a manager.
