Quade - two year contract w/ club option for 2013

[JustinTCB]

Sandberg disappointed, will seek other jobs - Chicago Breaking Sports

He'll get a base coaching job somewhere at the very least.

I saw when I watched him. He's been under Piniella for 3 years or so and he now has his tactics. You'll see when the season comes. The only different is he's not afraid to bench players. But, he loves Hill....

He loves Hill over Castillo. He played Soto almost everyday when he was healthy.

 

[tbo41fan]

God, I hope we dont see more hill...lol

 

[kleenexbox]

He is pretty awful but I don't think it's that big of a deal that he played instead of Castillo.

That's a obvious choice (Soto) and that's what I meant.

good move for the cubs.

He is basically a filler that is on the cheap to help get the cubs back on their feet financially and to get the youth some more experience. hiring an expensive manager such as girardi would be a waste of money right now just do to the fact that the cubs will not be contending for a couple of years until more money is freed up.

^^yes.....no need for a big money name to sell tickets to a team that isnt going to win a world series anyway

I love the move to me its the best guy out there for this team and he comes very cheap. Now lets work on dumping a big contract or two and add some pieces.

Cubs will finish 3rd or 4th, Hendry will get fired, Quade will get fired, but Sandberg will already have a job somewhere else and the Cubs will hire Larry Bowa or something.



Mostly sarcasm there, just to clarify.

because it is that easy.

Yes it is. Thanks for being supportive! Na, jkjk. It can happen, but will be as diffilcult as a man touching the sun.

Well, this makes things easy where expectations are concerned. It was nice of the new ownership to tell everyone to not bother next year. Oh, but wait, theyre not telling anyone that...they just want to sit on a pile of money. Sorry, Im not paying top dollar to watch some BS arrangement of waiting for contracts to expire.

I was really hoping this ownership would be different.

Like the move. Sandberg's old-school style of managing has no place in modern baseball, especially w/ his infatuation w/ bunting. He'd make the Cubs bunt way too much and play too much small ball, which can score you runs but if you rely on it to score most of your runs you won't score many.

The steroid era is over, dude.

you had to expect this. most knowledgeable fans knew it was win now! win now! when they went on the FA bonanza. and if they did not, than this would be the outcome. its not going to be 5 years, but it will take a couple of years. atleast you are realistic and not blowing these threads up with useless fantasy thoughts of the cubs buying players and trading away bad contracts with ease.

I'm not saying its easy guys...really its just a hope of mine I don't expect it to happen right away.

Yeah, I should have expected it when Mark Cuban's bid was rejected instead of being the highest. Selig and Rheinsdoof have been colluding in how they can get access to Cubs fans and manage the Cubs from becoming a team that will put pressure on the White Sox and Brewers to likewise spend money. The reason the Brewers became a NL team, was to get access to the Cubs fans and the gates they bring. Thats also why this Special person interleague play is still in effect. R'dorf wants to make sure his ballpark is filled at least once a year. But at the same time, they dont want the people who own the cubs to spend a bunch of money because that will put pressure on them to do the same, especially R'dorf.

And so, everyone should have known this is what was coming when Selig and R'dorf were involved with who bought the Cubs and Cuban was readily rejected.
