I really had hoped that the next Cubs manager would have a better understanding of basic sabermetric principles, but none of these 3 fit the bill. Of course, they (still) have a GM who has no appreciation for the value of walks and OBP, so I should expect his hire to feel the same. Of those 3 I would take Girardi. Hendry is dragging his feet, so maybe he's waiting for someone from one of the playoff teams. There have been rumors that Bochy will not come back next year, and Hendry likes him. I'd take Bochy.

Bochy does from everything I've read. Larry Dierker does for sure, and I heard he wants to manager again, but you never hear his name mentioned. Terrry Francona is another. He's still under contract with Boston, but there were rumors they might dismiss him. I've heard that Buck Showalter is sabermetrically inclined, but I don't think the Cubs want him, and there are other issues with him.

Lou Piniella in a Cubs uniform? What a sight that would be. lol Oh well, Cubs destroyed Jim Riggleman, Don Baylor, and Dusty. No reason why Lou shouldn't be knocked down a level or two by the Cubs after a couple of seasons.

Out of those three, Baker was the only one with a clue though. Riggleman had no finesse, strictly by the book. Baylor simply had no clue. Baker had plenty of faults, but he was at least a qualified manager.
