The All-Purpose No Bullshit Tolerating Who Should Be the Next Manager Thread

[Internet Apex]

The field has cleared for Jim EssianDave Martinez quite nicely.

Talk about a Ryne Sandberg suicide watch when Martinez leads the Cubs to the World Series.

Dave Kaplan was on my tv trashing every single candidate mentioned with intel from "very high-level MLB" sources to back him up. He said Martinez isn't high on the Cubs' list. Kaplan doesn't know shit though. So there's that.

I don't care who they hire so long as they don't make another mistake.

DO NOT MAKE 1 MORE SINGLE MISTAKE!

They should bring Don Zimmer back. They could pay him in cheeseburgers. And if he strokes out again, they could always bring Quade back - he could mole squint into the setting sun of the Cubs hopes and dreams for one more season.

This feels like it should probably go in the butthurt thread.

The Cubs want to interview Red Sox bench coach Torey Lovullo for their managerial opening and make a decision on the position soon.

The Cubs and Red Sox reached an agreement that they would not hire each other's employees after Theo Epstein left Boston for Chicago in Oct. 2011. That agreement remains in effect, though its exact length is not known.

How the agreement applies to Lovullo is unclear: He did not become a Red Sox employee until Oct. 2012, about a full year after Epstein's departure. In addition, teams generally allow employees to interview for promotions. For Lovullo, the Cubs' job certainly would qualify.

The Red Sox, however, apparently are going by the letter of the agreement, and balking at the idea of Lovullo interviewing with the Cubs.

I can't imagine Lovullo is too happy with that.

He's a joy. No one has ever quit on him, right?
