No experience

Then again Boone had no xp either

Hmm

 

[NJDevs26]

The most predictable hiring since the Angels with Joe Maddon.

 

[Voight]

The problem here is many of the players won a title with him 3 years ago - some may think of and treat him like their buddy or team mate and not their "superior/boss."

Players manager to a players manager.

 

[David Dennison]

Ross > Girardi = dumb beyond words.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Team hired a face, and I think they needed to hire a heel.

 

[GIN ANTONIC]

Don't see this working out well at all. Cubs don't need another fun uncle but who knows maybe he'll surprise.

 

[Del Preston]

He's no longer going to be in the broadcast booth and that's the most important thing.

These former catcher's always seem to have good initial runs as managers and then lose the team a few years in.Time will tell if he will be any different than Brad Ausmus or Mike Matheny.

Yea, but neither was managing the team that they played on as soon as 3 years before, let alone with the roster being almost the same as when they played on said team.

Hilarious

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

That is one of the stupidest things I have ever seen related to baseball hire

 

[Unholy Diver]

I don't see this working, will he be much different than Maddon? I feel like the Cubs could have used a little more of a disciplinarian
