Chicago Cubs Managers and Coaches

Mike Quade was named the interim Manager

The Chicago Cubs and Mike Quade agreed to a two year contract as of October 19, 2010. The Cubs have an option for the third year, 2013. So it is now officially time for everyone to second guess. The players have said they are very much in favor and supportive of Mike Quade. There is much speculation that Ryne Sandberg was the fan favorite. I agree that this was a good choice and maybe Sandberg was not ready yet. Time will only tell.

What the coaching staff will look like we will have to wait and see. But this is what was there at the end of the year.

Bob Denier was brought in as a First Base Coach. Ivan DeJesus was moved from First Base to Third Base

Larry Rottschild surprised me when he decided to leave and join the New York Yankees. I thought he did a great job. Some fans would not agree.

Alan Trammell also left as the bench coach. He wasn't considered for the Managers position eventhough he was a replacement for a couple of games in Piniella's absence. If that had a bearing on his decision is anyone's guess. But he is now with the Diamondbacks.

Rudy Jaramillo Hitting Coach

Chicago Cubs Managers and Coaches for 2011

Rudolpho Rudy Jaramillo Rudolpho "Rudy" Jaramillo

Rudy Jaramillo was the hitting coach of the Texas Rangers for an amazing 15 years (1994-2009), the longest tenure of any hitting coach with one team. Rudy is regarded as the premier hitting coach in the Major Leagues and the Chicago Cubs are lucky to land him. It seems the current ownership dilemma and their inability to offer a larger longer contract let Jaramillo to start looking. What ever you think of Jim Henry he was on top of his game on this one. It will be interesting to see how his presence will affect the teams hitting, especially Alfonso Soriano who was with the Rangers at one time.
