Guest Jules Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Really? I thought he got his dream job with the Cardinals.Yeah in the end he got a good gig, but he didn't want to leave and wasn't happy with the way it went down. Farmer wanted to do play by play and kind of forced the issue. Yeah I really thought the Jeter thing was a misprint when OilCan posted that. Wow. Link to post Share on other sites

cryptique Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Heh. So I guess the new Cubs ownership is off to a great start. Something tells me they'll regret that one someday. Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 I thought Sandberg said he did not want to manage in the minors, anymore.Oh well - it was a dumb move by the Cubs. Link to post Share on other sites
The High Heat Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 I thought Sandberg said he did not want to manage in the minors, anymore.Oh well - it was a dumb move by the Cubs.He's basically out of major league options and it wouldn't be wise for him to sit at home and be out of the game. He hasn't actually had any major league coaching or managing experience, so, even though he's a HOFer, Sandberg still has to show dedication, especially after a setback/disappointment. I am surprised the Phils didn't name him 3B coach instead of Juan Samuel. If Sandberg was to replace Charlie Manuel in a couple years, he'd be better served working with him on a daily basis.

The High Heat Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Braves acquire Dan Uggla from Marlins. You'd think the Fish could've gotten a little more from Atlanta, seeing how they're in the same division and several other teams were interested in Uggla. Link to post Share on other sites

Here is a nice quote from Sandberg regarding with him signing with the Phils - makes sense to me: ''I didn't think it was in the best interest for me or the Cubs or their ownership to be at the Triple-A level,'' Sandberg said. ''I didn't think it would be fair to everyone involved, including the fans and the new manager, Mike Quade, with the perception of me waiting for something to go wrong in Chicago or for the ax to fall in Chicago. I wish Mike Quade and the ownership of the Cubs the best of luck. For me, this was the perfect fit.'' Link to post Share on other sites

caliber66 Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Gardenhire needs to win some playoff games before winning manager of the year.Leaving aside the fact that he won playoff games in '02, '03 and '04, clearly he doesn't need to win playoff games in order to win MOY.

Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Gardenhire needs to win some playoff games before winning manager of the year.Wrong...Gardenhire has won his division 6 of his first 9 years. He overcame some really critical injuries and got the most out of his team. The most egregious actions in the voting is people leaving Ron Washington off the ballot. If I had a vote I would have Gardenhire #1, Washington #2 (although I can make a damn strong case for him as MotY) and Francona #3 Link to post Share on other sites
