A managing job for Joe Girardi?

He's a great young manager, he could have another 30-40 years to manage, so don't worry too much about just this year, though it is insane that some team couldn't scoop him up, there must be things going on behind the scene that we don't get to see.

I think that he would be a great fit for this team.  I like the pinstripes.  Phillies Pinstripes are much better than that crappy new york team ____um(lol)  I really dont think that ny owns pinstipes--really I dont

Yes, in a few ways.  He'll help them win during the season.  He'll give them a huge advantage in the playoffs (if they can make it) because this gives them two A+ pitchers along with A pitcher.\n\nLastly, he'll help them make a pile of money every time he pitches.  The park will sell out (or get close) every time.

I am a Yankee fan through and through, but I do think the Cubs are moving in the right direction. Hopefully Sweet Lou can come on board and make some changes. Soriano is a great player. Personally, think the Yankees should have never traded him. So, I think the Cubs will have a better season. I do think it will take them time to build but the are on their way.

I would consider him to be a start in turning the franchise around.  No single player with the possible exception of Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle and a hand full of others were capable of carrying a franchise on their shoulders.

I agree that soriano made out like a bandit , but who doesn't these days. I think hitting him lead off is totally crazy though , the guy hit 46 homers last season. I don't care how fast he can run , he would be perfect in the 5 slot , right behind Aramis Rameriz. I would put him in left field , Murton in right and try to find a good lead off hitter that can play center field. I think the cubs are on the right track and maybe with Andy McPhail gone they will spend the money. I know he wasn't the one paying the players but I am sure he had a big influence on the money decisions.

There is talk of them signing one of the Alex Gonzalez's, which one I am not sure.  Probably the one who was with the Marlins the past few years.

barry zito i think he could thrive in that park and wouldnt be affected by the pressure\nroberts would be a nice fit too \n\ni wouldnt go after suppan hes not exactly a good big market pitcher (see: Suppan with Boston)

I'm sure Met suits weren't happy but what do you expect?  Zambrano stinks and the sooner they admit they made a colossal blunder trading Scott Kazmir for this guy the better.  Gary Cohen is one of the best play by play guys in MLB and hopefully he won't be punished too severely.

I would try and trade glavine for an average releif pitcher, he had a great game and looks good now, but he is old and won't finish well. There are always a few closers who take the job from someone else and have a good year, i'd keep a free spot and get ready to grab one of them. Don't dismantle a good team for a closer.

The team is playing very good, but he has  a bad management

Historically poor management, coupled with a psychology of failure derived from years of losing. That is why Baker is a great manager for the Cubs. He is always positive and reenforcing. He is not the most technically skilled manager, but he is what the franchise needs as a manager.\n\nTake away Pujols, Carpenter and Mulder, or Konerko, Buerhle and Garcia, and see how good a manager LaRussa or Guillen would be.\n\nIf anyone is to blame currently, it is the GM Hendry who supplied the roster of mainly under-achieving players. Furthermore, in case no one noticed, this is the first year in many that the CUbs have tried switching to a speed, defense and pitching team. It was working, too, even without Prior and Wood, until Lee went down. Let's see what happens when he gets healthy. They probably won't win it this year, but they will give other teams a very hard time.

I agree with the previous answer.  There is a very good chance Jenks will lose the job at some point. Guillen is impatient and tends to switch closers more than most managers.  Jenks' reporting out of shape is also common.  It held him back during his minor league career.  Combined with his spring ineffectiveness he could be the first closer to lose his job.

Rick White was a middle reliever who's claim to fame was his similar appearance to David Wells (at least for me).  He does indeed need to be fired, wherever he is.  I'm upset about Zambrano too, but let's see how he does tomorrow...either way, it was a bad trade.

I don't know if O'Reilly is even in hockey anymore.  They need a GM who is seen as being totally independent, not a puppet of Sinden.  Somebody with credibility and experience.  Perhaps a Pat Quinn, or a Brian Sutter.  As for coach, that should obviously be the new GM's decision.

I'd definitely be on the look-out for a replacement for Loaiza... If he keeps pitching (if he is allowed to by the A's) like he has been, any one of those pitchers you mentioned might be the better option this year...

Right now the Yankees are not in a position to trade. They really don't have anyone in the farm system b/c they have traded them all away. They have one good young player in Robinson Cano which is a player that they could maybe get some good value out of in a trade but I don't think the Yankees are willing to trade him. \n\nSeriously who do the Yankees have to offer to get a guy like Miguel Cabrera or good young pitching. No one, other teams don't want to take on the bloated contracts of A-Rod, Jeter, Giambi, Johnson, Damon, Pavano, Mussina and so on for their inexpensive young talented players.
