He is as competitive as anyone and will surely tell guys the hard truth if it's necessary. If they need a kick in the ass, I'm willing to bet that Maddux would be more than willing to provide it.Aisle 424http://424tales.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-250683060520895629.post-2726161708284199132010-01-17T02:29:10.900-06:002010-01-17T02:29:10.900-06:00Ok.. here's my two cents.

My comments are not towards the great Greg Maddux! <br /><br />Regarding the Cubs establishment, we don't need another soft spoken guy as management. We need a Sue Sylvester type (from Glee) to beat up our girlie Cubbies. I am a lover of the Cubs, but like the Bears, they need a kick in the @zz rather than knowledge, and pats on the back.Kimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09809873313644835527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-250683060520895629.post-1608744752824700642010-01-13T15:59:21.013-06:002010-01-13T15:59:21.013-06:00Hendry gave an interview on wgn outlining some of ...Hendry gave an interview on wgn outlining some of Maddux's duties. He said it would include scouting out new talent, and working with young pitchers, so sounds like he'll be doing some mentoring at least, if not exactly "coaching".Krisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-250683060520895629.post-50350117005635011472010-01-13T15:28:08.206-06:002010-01-13T15:28:08.206-06:00I think that is what we are all hoping, but that w...I think that is what we are all hoping, but that would be more of a coaching role and not a front office job. We'll have to see how it all shakes out.Aisle 424http://424tales.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-250683060520895629.post-77547676329683173662010-01-13T15:00:54.787-06:002010-01-13T15:00:54.787-06:00Nolan Ryan has been great for the Rangers working ...Nolan Ryan has been great for the Rangers working in there front office and has had a profound effect of the pitching staff, Maddux can do the same. Maybe he can teach the young ones that it isn't about striking everybody out, but hitting your corners and forcing weak groundersCharleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09985079826894511952noreply@blogger.com
