Who will be the next GM?

[Brownie]

From CRG:

The Cubs are drawn to Colletti, a Chicago native and former Cubs employee, since they believe he could bring Hall of Fame second baseman turned minor league manager Ryne Sandberg back as the team's Major League skipper. Sandberg has said he'd return to the Cubs now that former GM Jim Hendry has been fired, according to Wittenmyer.

Hiring on that criteria sounds like some excellent reasoning!

After hearing about Friedman, Epstein, Cashman and other good names, hiring Colletti would literally be the worst thing that ever happened.

Jim Bowden is available...

Colletti, Bowden, Steve Phillips. Maybe they can hire several GMs and use them on a rotating, committee basis.  They could call it something clever, like "University of GMs."

Eli, you're free to take the rest of the week off if you wish.

No. It's America, sir. We're in the earn it business. Eli has earned his time off for a job well done.

We wouldn't expect a hotshot government labor paralegal to understand an honest day's work for an honest day's pay.

Jim Bowden is available...

He signed Jason Schmidt in 2006 to a 3-year, $47-million free agent contract.
He signed Andruw Jones in 2007 to a 2-year, $36 million.

The only good thing he's done is that he hasn't traded away his sure bet minor league players...

In his defense, they did get ten starts and 42 innings with an ERA+ of 72 (small sample size) out of Schmidt.

Gordo has the perfect GM for the cubs. Welcome to the club, Dan Evans.

Gordo has the perfect GM for the cubs. Welcome to the club, Dan Evans.

The McCourts swept Evans out almost as soon as they took over, hiring Moneyball figure Paul DePodesta for a failed 20-month reign.

What a failure, trading away players at their peak value and signing a bunch of guys to below-market deals who then performed well.

Bill Plascke'ed?

Here is a list of all the candidates. Minus Dan Evans.

Kim Ng went to University of Chicago and would help Asian relations and women's relations. That's a dynamic combination of things.

Don't Dodgers fans hate him for trading Paul Lo Duca fer chrissakes.

Gordo has not stopped in here to vote. Evans has zero votes, just as many as the pseudonymous Mark Dawson.

If she would bring more Asian women to Wrigley, I'm all for it.
