Marty34 Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 I might add that my highly placed source believes Buddy Bell's input in the make up of this year's team is as much to blame for where we are now as anyone's. That includes Ozzie. Needless to say my source is NOT a Buddy Bell fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 29, 2010 Author Share Posted April 29, 2010 Interesting, because the only player that Bell should know really well (and have approved acquiring) would be Teahen, and he's been pretty decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bell is adamant that he can play third base. My source said paraphrasing, how can anyone look at Teahen and be so stubborn in that opinion. My source went on to say it's an example of the kind of talent evaluation that Bell provides that has our minor leagues all screwed up.

WCSox Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 (edited) QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 06:25 AM) Without knowing Gordon personally...my guess is that's exactly the kind of stuff he needs. They've moved him around too much over the past year, but I basically agree. Learning how to deal with adversity is part of becoming a professional in any line of work.

southsider2k5 Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 01:11 PM) Nope. Yes http://www.chicagobusiness.com/cgi-bin/blo...agobusiness.com You have harbored some aspirations to work as a general manager and you even sought to have a role in the ownership group of one of the prospective buyers of the Cubs. Does this long-term contract with the Sox mean that you've put aside those aspirations? Life takes some strange turns. I thought I would broadcast the Cubs my entire career. As we know, it didn't work out that way. I thought I would be with ESPN for a number of years. The number was two. I do know. I've signed a long-term deal and if it works out that I'm here the rest of my career — hope it's another 20 years — I'd be happy with that. These people here are terrific. On the other side of the coin, it's not a question of looking around the next corner, but sometimes you have to adapt. Knowing the vagaries of life, you never know what life will present. Just when you think you have it all planned out, life has a tendency to throw you a curve. You have to be open to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanne Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 I always wanted Carlton Fisk to manage this team some day...but that was quite a while back. I know he doesn't have any experience...but I can't think of a more commanding presence in the dugout. It was a pipe dream like 10 years ago...

ThunderBolt Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 (edited) My man love for Davey Johnson is unabated. He's hasn't coached in the majors in 10 years but he's been managing internationally and now works in the Nat's front office. He's a man made of fire and passion with a heart insulated in steel that was forged in the bowels of hell. He also studies the game, is willing to take risks in the Weaver-Ball mold, knows how to run an offense, and has as many rings on his fingers as Ozzie does.
