Good move by the Cubs.  Maybe he can teach them the art of the lead off out of the screen homer.

Wasn't Sandberg available?

[RedBarron]

I'd rather have Trammell.


After reading some of sandberg's yahoo columns last year, I'm not so sure I want him coaching the cubs --- especially in a role such a manager or bench coach.   

[Guy Smiley]

I am happy about this decision.

[RedBarron]

he should play SS and hit leadoff.

[Guy Smiley]

I was actually thinking that myself...

Good to see Tram-Dog back in the bigs, and hopefully after a few years he'll get another shot as a manager...he wasn't that bad in Detroit...he just had some bad luck there.  And the more RBIers as managers, the better MLB is.

[RedBarron]

if he sticks with Lou, he might be the manager in 3 years.

Trammell finished 5th in Manager of the Year voting in 2003.
