With Sandberg's honors as PCL Manager of the Year, I'm not as worried about inexperience now.

How does the MOY have anything to do with his experience? Either way he still has 4 years under his belt.

quade has a ton of minor league experience as well Mike Quade - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

sandberg seems to be the sentimental favorite by the fans, ricketts will probably give into that, plus he will come cheap. if girardi pops his head up and says he wants to coach the cubs, i would jump on it.

It's not Rickett's decision. It's Jim Hendry's. Rickett's said that he is going to leave the decision up to Hendry.

well within reason yes. he cannot just go out and sign whoever he wants for whatever price tag. and his comment about that is basically his way of saying that hendry is staying without coming out and saying it.

Bring in Sandberg, then Andre Dawson could come in as a manager. That would be pretty sweet.

He was talking about, if he can coach down there ad win MOY, he would be fine for the majors. I think that's what he meant.

I just wasn't sure he could be a good manager. But he was called the best PCL Manager, so I'd assume he wasn't that bad of a manager.

I know Giradi grew up in Chicago, has family here, and has a history with the team... but who in their right mind would leave the Yankees job for the Cubs?

Lou Pinella won manager of the year in 2008. So that argument is moot.
