    Re: Hendry fired

    Remaking the Cubs begins with critical GM choice - MLB - Yahoo! Sports



    What They Could Do with a Payroll Division

    Kevin Towers, GM, Diamondbacks. A year into a two-year contract (with two options that could take him to 2016), Towers required about two weeks to make the Diamondbacks relevant.

    Ned Colletti, GM, Dodgers. Chicago-(and Cub-)bred, Colletti gets the culture of the city and its team. He had the Dodgers on the verge of the World Series twice before the franchise collapsed around him.

    Larry Beinfest, president, Marlins. While the Marlins skimp, Beinfest consistently puts electric talent on the field.

    Billy Beane, GM, A’s. A huge name with a contract through 2014 and an ownership stake in the A’s, Beane has shown little desire to leave Oakland.

    Mike Rizzo, GM, Nationals. He’s been out in front of the Nats’ plan to rise in the NL East through scouting and development.

    Cubs interested in Cashman, Friedman and … Colletti? | HardballTalk

    Colletti, eh? Really? And he appeals to the Cubs, why exactly? Here’s one explanation:

    one attraction to him, a source said, is the likelihood he would try to bring Ryne Sandberg back to the organization as the Cubs’ manager.
    So when Ned Colletti tell me Ryne Sandberg free for most premium package...I jump in it. /russian_accent

    I'm just going to keep my belief that there is absolutely no way Ricketts hires Colletti.

    Yeah, well, what do you know? It's also your belief that the Cubs are going to sign Pujols.

    Re: Hendry fired

    It's 1 of 3 things

    You at some point stated that you'd like to see the Cubs sign Pujols so mofo read that as "the Cubs will sign Pujols"

    You said the Cubs will sign offensive help via free agency and mofo read that as "The Cubs will sign Pujols"

    or some other Cubs fan said the Cubs will sign Pujols and since you're a Cubs fan that means you said it as well.

    Re: Hendry fired

    I see no point in fans being vague about who they'd like their team to add in terms of offensive help via FA when we all know it's Pujols or Fielder.

    Re: Hendry fired

    What are you talking about? When have I ever been vague about it? I think the most I've mentioned about the Cubs and Pujols/Fielder was that the organization was hinting towards not offering a contract like that, which I found hard to believe. Fuck yeah I would like to see Pujols or Fielder in a Cubs uniform next season. But I never said that they were going to sign either one.

    I think you're just getting pissy because you want Colletti to leave so bad, and the media is teasing you with the idea.

    More like you're pissy over the media entertaining the possibility of Colletti going to the Cubs while you're hoping for your white knight assistant GM.

    Please take Bill Bavasi as your next GM. I don't think I can put up with more stupidity like that we have seen of late from the Reds and Bavasi would be stupidity on Steroids. How about if you take Bavasi you can have Dusty back free of charge and we'll cover any relocation costs .
