TheTruth05 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 QUOTE (Tony @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 11:10 AM) Right or wrong, no matter if you agree with the decision by management on LaRoche, this was completely mishandled. This is correct, but still, talk about a couple of coddled little crybabies acting as clubhouse cancers. Worst part is they were hailed as leaders just last year.

chw42 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 If only we didn't promise LaRoche he could bring his son into the clubhouse everyday. Then we could have spent his $12 million elsewhere last year AND had $13 million more to spend in the off-season this year. That signing looks worse than Adam Dunn's right now and it's not even about the production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually glad both are being so vocal on this issue because (a) it clearly highlights dysfunction in management of this organization and perhaps that will get addressed and (b) I always like to see players rally around one another. Plus, the fact that both see themselves as leaders on this team is a good thing, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 And/or Ventura and Hahn not being strong enough to stand up to LaRoche...which would be understandable enough if he put up MVP numbers last season, heck, a century of baseball superstition would say you don't mess with that at all, but that definitely wasn't the case.

Quin Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 QUOTE (Black_Jack29 @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 11:13 AM) If that's true, why haven't we heard about it until now? That doesn't make sense. And why would Kenny flat out lie (per the Sun-Times link)? And honestly, with Sale, get Friedman on the phone if he keeps this up. Put Eaton on the market as well. Edit: I'm not saying at this exact moment, but if they keep going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 QUOTE (LDF @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 11:12 AM) 24/7 total access???? He didn't have total access. Here is a story about him from last June. Even Conor Gillaspie likes the kid.
