My favorite teams
The chance of him staying percentage keeps going down every day. Now I see a report in the Sun-Times that Girardi has shown interest via back channels. Ausmus is a name supposedly considered. What about someone like Mike Maddux?

Mike Maddux is certainly on the Cubs radar. The question is if Texas doesn't make the playoffs and a deep run does Mike Maddux take over for a fired Ron Washington. Ausmus is an interesting candidate and while he annoyed me a ton as a player can imagine him being a good manager.

Well I don't see Ron Washington leaving and same goes with Mike Maddux. There's no point to go with another rookie manager. That's why I can't see Ausmus coming.

Joe is the first choice. If Mike leaves the Angel's then I would kick the tires on that one and if it felt like a match. You have to feel that they with keep or fire based off of Rizzo and Castro. If they feel that they are bringing up Baez and Bryant to Dale and Dale already screwed up Rizzo and Castro then he is gone. Now wins losses. Game time decisions are lesser concern. Winning was not the goal. Getting the youth addapting to major league play is. So that is what the decision is based off of. Toss the win/loss out as it is not a factor. Rizzo and Castro's slump is. Now on the flip Wood, Maholm, Feldman, Sori, Schierholtz all had improved production so it is a mixed bag but those were established players. So I'm leaning 80% out the door with Baez incoming next year. They can't afford the fuck up here.

Ron Washington very well could be fired if Texas misses the playoffs or is out after a game. If that happens then Mike Maddux probably takes over. If Washington stays then maybe Maddux would.consider leaving to take on a manager spot.

Yeah I see what you mean and it could happen. But right now, I'm leaning towards no and didn't Nolan Ryan or the GM already say he's coming back? Maddux may look for a managerial job, but I can't see him getting one with the Cubs.

Yeah remember someone on here and I expected him at least in the $15-16 mil/year range which I knew the cubs weren't going to pay. I never saw Pence as a realistic option.

Some say if Washington is fired, Maddux may get promoted. But more often, when a manager gets canned, his coaches all go as well.
Contrary to one post in another of the 15 threads on this subject, Theo won't base his decision on what the media says about the team regressing. Do people honestly believe upper management reads the morning paper and bases their decisions on that?

They read of of the shit, but there's no way they base their decisions off of it. The FO sees behind the scenes and goes from there.

Yeah, but I think that's too much money. The Pence contract just made Choo not a candidate for the Cubs and of course, Ellsbury as well.

the only way sveum gets fired monday is if they have a better veteran replacement already in mind..
their not going to go thru another process of interviewing managers and basically come out with another dale sveum..
if sveum is fired , i have to think joe girardi will be the next manager..
would of been interesting if ryno was still available, funny how the phils tied him up to 3 yrs when word got out that sveum was on hot seat..

I would be very surprised if the Cubs don't get Girardi. The Cubs are his preference and Girardi is the Cubs preference. It seems like it's in the last stage trying to get a contract together.

I don't think we know either of those things to be true at this point. There is a lot of maneuvering going on right now and I think a grain of salt is needed with all of those "reports" of interests between the parties involved. I wouldn't be shocked if Girardi ended up in Chicago, but I wouldn't be putting money on it at this point.

I wouldn't put money on Girardi yet until when and if Sveum is indeed fired. If Sveum does get the ax, I would think about putting money on it.
