It’s Official
Lou Piniella will be introduced as the next manager of the Chicago Cubs during a press conference tomorrow. Piniella has apparently agreed to a three-year deal with an option for 2010.
I think this is a good move for the Cubs. Piniella pretty obviously lost interest while he was managing the Devil Rays, but as bad as the Cubs were this year they were not Tampa bad. It's on Jim Hendry to get Piniella the players that will make the team competitive, if not in '07 than in '08; if he does that I think Piniella will be a good fit -- a good motivator, a decent in-game strategist, and a guy who I think fans will be happy with.
