Re: David Bell hired by the Cubs
Great step for David. Interested in seeing who the Reds will name as Louisville's manager.

Re: David Bell hired by the Cubs
I had put the story up in the Minor League forum since I figured he was the AAA manager and hence, will be a topic of discussion viz a viz our minor leagues.

Re: David Bell hired by the Cubs
The Reds could still hire him as the manager if they wanted to. Teams hire coaches from other organizations all the time.

Re: David Bell hired by the Cubs
Understood. But given the Cubs lack of success at the major league level recently, I have a feeling Bell could get a "call up" before Dusty's current contract plays out. Oh well, I suppose that ship has sailed anyway.

Re: David Bell hired by the Cubs
I doubt Dave Sveum is on the hot seat just yet with Chicago, but it may get him a better look for another team in 2014.

Re: David Bell hired by the Cubs
That would be great. I'd love to see Rolen mentoring the young guys.

Re: David Bell hired by the Cubs
It's just a matter of time before Corky is a manager somewhere.

Re: David Bell hired by the Cubs
Glad to see Bell move on. Did not want to see him as future manager
