Rice we do know that; however, the manager is on their mind and want to get a new manager before making moves. That's my guess and does make sense.

The team can be built regardless of who is manager. The manager is just there to write lineup cards and not **** too much shit up.

im not big into this saber metric shit but yesterday on Club Confidential on MLB NETWORK they broke down WAR of manager across the league. The 2 highest WAR was LAA mangaer at 4.6 and Guillen at 4.2. If they were players at that WAR they would be making around 10 mil. So dont say managers dont mean shit cause they do. They can be difference being team in playoffs or out of playoffs. Why do you think picking managers takes while. Its more then just filling out the lineup card.

Even the two managers you cited do stupid shit regularly. You just hope that the manager doesn't out-stupid the other manager :lol:
The construction of the team is leaps and bounds more important than who their manager is.

Yes true. The manager usually is not involved in any moves during the off-season. But Theo and Jed are worrying about naming a new manager over makeing moves right now. However, that looks to be over now and moves will be the #1 priority.

They're not going to make any super major moves anyway until after the arbitration deadline for free agents and maybe not even until the Rule 5 draft.

Yeah maybe... The moves will come during the Winter Meetings in a couple weeks. The GM Meetings is a start up to the WM.

My favorite teams
People weren't excited about Francona in Boston.
The manager's job for Theo is to not screw up the lineup Theo has.

Seems to me like the kinda guy they would end up with
Never did I think Francona would take the job, atleast not with this Cubs team.
