Well at least that criticism of Ricketts is gone now. Still hard to care about anything not related to a new gm being hired though.

Who are the sources btw?

Tie to all of this the following: Crane Kenney is not being involved in baseball decisions at this moment in the organization. Maybe he was in the past, but he’s not now. The well-connected blogger (Cubs Insider) who told us Crane Kenney will be out by season’s start next year…well, he stands by his source even more firmly today.

Quade should go back to being 3B coach. Idk how many times, DeJesus is it now? Pissed me off by holding runners up that I thought could've easily scored.

That would be rather awkward to have Quade demoted to 3B coach again :lol:

Well either way we need to get an experienced manager. An old school type.

I don't think he needs to be old school. He just has to know how to leverage his pitchers and set up good lineups. That's all a manager does, really.

Well as long he gets us motivated and win some ball games I will be content haha.
So is Aramis' chance of returning very slim or is it all just speculation at this point?

Everything is speculation at this point, but some events have more of a chance of happening than others, naturally ;)

Yeah... I hope we don't lose Aramis. Aside from that I am curious to see what goes down this winter.

If they have gotten to this level and aren't "motivated" by now, it isn't going to happen. These are grown men, not little leaguers. Like Rice said, the manager should know how to work the pen, set the best lineup, and get out of the way.

I think that would depend on the direction of the team.

Contend = Aramis stays

Rebuild = bye-bye Aramis, and thanks for the memories

I hope we change things up here and there and try to get a contending club.
Pitching is priority #1
Then we need some patient run producers.
If they go the rebuilding route it's gonna make for a long season. Can we really build a team around a 6 foot shortstop? We need some good younger vets. We don't have enough young talent.

We're a lot closer to decisions than just speculations.

What do you know? Share...
I am most interested in what we will have for players as I don't really follow all the personnel stuff so much. I am just curious what our team should look like.
