Hopefully he's headed to Houston because that would not be
ideal.

BleacherNation with a lot of speculation on Chuck LaMar and news
that he has a somewhat tenuous Cubs connection. Lots of
questions are asked without any answers.

Wasn't it Lamar that hired Sandberg? Can't remember.

Chuck LaMar has the commitment to player development Ricketts
was looking for, but he doesn't meet any of his other criteria.
No way he is the guy.
That sounds more like a bunch of Cub fans scared TR is
inevitably going to make a dumb decision and is in the process
of already doing it.

Well, regardless who the owner might be, we are talking about
the Cubs here.

A different take than what we've heard in most places on the
Fleita extension:

I think even Flieta's harshest critics believe he does some
important things very well.
Unfortunately one of them is not managing the development of Cub
prospects.

Haugh: Would an ambitious leader really pass up a chance at
making baseball history because he can't make every hire?
Probably not.
But that "ambitious leader" might pass it up if he was not going
to be allowed to make the key hires for the organization, and it
is hard to be too much more "key" to the Cubs than Director of
Player Development, if the organization is going to take the
route Ricketts has promised and develop talent from within.
