Joe Maddon has done a little better than OK throughout his managerial career with managing his roster.

I'm just going to go ahead and believe he knows what he's doing here better than any of us do.

I think that sending Jorge down would be damaging to his ego and he'd lose touch with some of the people who are trying to help him the most on and off the field for awhile. I know there are people who will say so what, grow up, you big pussy, but those people don't know what's best for him any more than I do. We're talking about a team that has developed talent for the big league club at an astounding rate. Maybe they think what's best for Jorge is that he gets acclimated to life in the U.S. and the big leagues at a pace that isn't putting a ton of pressure on him to perform. Just do what you can, big kid, listen and learn. Ask questions. Go buy a dog and get some smoking hot black latina chick to live in your apartment and feed you both. Guess what, the weather will get warmer and so will your bat. We've seen it happen. Love, love, love.

Or send him to Iowa where he can crush the shitty pitching, eat at taco bell and show up for games without a belt on. Meh.

This is a very good post and an example of why I keep coming back to Desipio in spite of the tentacle smut links that pop up when I try to search for terms like buttpuddle and jelqing.

I keep coming back to watch SKO try and swat bees with a shovel.

Who was questioning Joe other than no one?

I was asking if Jorge is better off in Iowa if Joe isn't going to play him, not asking why Joe isn't playing him. Sending him to Iowa probably isn't Joe's call.

You're right. Asking why the team isn't doing with a player what you view to be logical isn't questioning management at all. What was I thinking?

Again, I'm not asking why Joe isn't playing Jorge. I get why he's not playing. I'm also not demanding they send him down. If they think he's better served on an MLB bench than anywhere else, cool. I was just asking if there's anyway maybe he would be better off getting daily playing time in Iowa. If we're going to default to "Joe's good, Theo's good, team's good, don't ask questions" this is going to be a boring messageboard.

The Des Moines area actually has a severe lack of Taco Bells. It's mostly Taco Johns here, which is garbage.

Also again, you mistake me. I don't want Jorge sent down. I want Jorge to stay, and play, and hit, but it's possible he's just not going to get those opportunities while Javy and La Stella are making a more compelling argument for playing time. I was just asking if they might be better off letting him get into a rhythm as an every day player and coming back up whenever those two inevitably cool off.

You can say being sent down is damaging to his ego but perhaps so is being benched for Matt Szczur and getting judged on one or two PAs a game once or twice a week?

What's best for the Cubs is what's best for Jorge in long run. And I'm sure the question has popped into Theo/Jed/Joe etc's mind because that's what they do for a living. It seems we have empirical evidence that the answer to the question about whether they should send Jorge down is no.

So ask the question again a different way and see if you get someone here to agree with you. What's the harm in that?

Now I wait for Eli to come along, say something far more negative about Jorge than my simple question, but say it in that understated Eli way, and everyone will shrug and move on while I go "wait, why did everyone jump down my throat"
