That would be great! Bad numbers can be a little deceptive. He could provide the protection for someone like Fielder. His history of trades has been decent but his big free agent signings and even one of his big contract extensions have been busts. Maybe I am being naive, but I believe strongly in both players abilities without the use of steroids or any other PED. He could help educate younger players on how to approach the game on the field and off the field. I respect Theo Epstein for being upfront about it, but it doesn’t make me feel any better about my favorite player of all time not being with the Cubs. Anyway, Mike Maddux is a great pitching coach and has a great baseball mind in my opinion. Maddux already knows the game and how to play it. The elder Maddux pitched for nine teams in 15 years, the definition of a successful journeyman. "I might pick him up and just burp him.". With that said, CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Anyway, in my estimation, Maddux is learning all the ins and outs of being a General Manager. My first choice would be Greg Maddux. Next, Dave Martinez. While Pete Mackanin showed up dressed to the nines in a gray suit and handkerchief and Dale Sveum went with a coat, no-tie look, Maddux looked like a dad at the mall. PRINCE FIELDER-ARAMIS RAMIREZ-DAVID WRIGHT. He would be my choice as manager next year over all of the other candidates. So, let’s do this! I'd be demanding, hold them accountable. I would think with his resume, a majority of the younger players would definitely listen. I think he wants at least three years…..so, this probably won’t happen. "He's a great competitor," Maddux said. I think he would be a good fit in Wrigley. I realize that would require a multi-year deal and I’m not too excited about the idea of giving ARAM anything over two years. I would recommend it to anyone even if they were not a baseball fan like myself. Zambrano is quite grande. If we don’t work out a deal for Ramirez, which sounds realistic, I would love Theo and Co. to look into a possible trade with the Mets for David Wright. Free agency cannot fill all of them realistically. After coaching in Milwaukee for six years, he went to Texas in 2009. Mike said his own family situation is a concern, too. CHICAGO -- Once again, the Chicago Cubs are doing it wrong. Sorry Jim! 5. Given the state of this fading roster, that's probably a good idea. Signing Milton Bradley didn’t work out. That’s not good. It leads me to believe that Hendry is better at making trades than free agent signings. That's the big thing. A lot of things to go through, a lot of tough decisions that have to be made.". Imagine him bringing his brother, Mike Maddux, over from Texas as our new pitching coach. I know it would take more than just those two, but it is a start. It's like we're paying you, man."). Hendry traded for Lee in 2003 and we definitely got the better end of that deal. Unfortunately, Ryne Sandberg is not going to be considered and I am still suffering with that decision. I’m fine with that. I may sound crazy saying that, but I have several reasons for this decision. Maybe I am giving him too much credit, but it’s just how I feel. And I don’t see this one happening either. Both of my kids are in school down there. Last year, Greg was Special Assistant to the General Manager, Jim Hendry. "The situation we're in, in Texas, is pretty nice. he said. 3. On to some Cub news. Well, the Cubs are looking for a new manager and several names have been thrown out there. He’s also a bench coach with the Rays under Joe Maddon. He’s not the go to hitter you need in the middle of the lineup. Our infield could have Javier Baez at SS or 3B, Rizzo at 1B, Barney at 2B and Castro at SS or OF. Some of the names that have been floated around are Dave Martinez, Rick Renteria, A.J. Like most pitchers, Mike Maddux's career paled in comparison to the Hall of Fame legacy of his brother Greg. Because the Cubs are now one of those "sabermetric" teams, after years of living in relative seclusion, Maddux was asked if he's into advanced statistics and all that jazz. And now that his brother has interviewed for the job of manager of the Cubs it would please me to have both brothers working for the team. Hiring a pitching coach to run the club shouldn't be a big deal. He is an excellent complimentary hitter though. Signing Kosuke Fukudome hasn’t gone over well either. We're not out there cracking the whip, you gotta walk this way, talk this way. First things first though. He enrolled at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP), where he played college baseball for the UTEP Miners. ", With the Cubs desperate to peddle Zambrano and his onerous contract year, Maddux couldn't have been a better salesman if he were pushing Cubs Convention passes. How would that work? "It takes no talent to be in shape, that takes desire," he said. The team's ERA was 5.37 before he got there and has decreased every year since, down to 3.79 in 2011. I loved it! Like his attire, Maddux seemed laid-back and unruffled. The Cubs say the concerns are real, but when it comes down to it, Maddux is a baseball lifer.
