Chuck's gonna love this.

"SI.com's Jon Heyman reports that the Cubs are close to hiring Rudy Jaramillo as their new hitting coach.
Jaramillo opted against taking a one-year deal to remain with the Rangers, which looks smart with Heyman noting that he's expected to "receive a multiyear deal for about $800,000 per year." That would make him the highest-paid coach in baseball.

Will Dave Duncan be next, seeing as the Cubs are spreading the wealth on coaches now?

In case you haven't heard the past 7 years, Larry Rothschild is one of the most respected men in baseball.

What kind of no-trade clause will Hendry be "forced" to give him?

I want to know what kind of nude photos Larry has that have allowed him to keep his job despite three managerial changes during his tenure.

Uncle Albert is not in a panic about extending his contract with the Deadbirds.  

"I reiterate that money is not everything," Pujols said in the radio interview

No.  Albert is taking a long look at which team offers the best retiree health plan, 401k matching contributions, and other programs appropriate to the concerns of those reaching a certain age.

I posted something somewhere along the line pointing out that Rothschild's pitching staffs have been in the top 3rd or so in the NL during his tenure. I'm not going to find where because I'm fat and lazy, but yea.

I don't think he should be fired or anything, I just find it interesting that he's remained in that position.  I always assumed that a coaching squad flowed from the manager's preferences, such that he got to select the people he wanted around him, like the President with his Cabinet.

I guess I was mistaken.

I'm pretty sure whichever team has the best chemists is at least as important as money.

No, actually you're correct.
Any success that the Cubs pitching staff has had under Larry aside, it's pretty common to change out your staff when you start anew as a manager.

Or, if you're the Cubs, it's pretty common to change out your hitting coach every 4 months.

Almost DRLP at this point, but, enter Jaramillo.

I see Yeti's posting under the name WrigleyTerror37

I say KEEP BRADLY. yes i know but hear me out. If this new hitting couch can help Bradly,and Soriano start hitting again then great.
But if Bradly still isnt hitting then i say we trade him around the trade deadline. And if we do trade him then All we need to do is call up Colvin and our out field would be Fuld, Soriano, Fukudome, Colvin, and Johnson[if we resign him hope the cubs do].
