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.

As woy said in another thread (in so many words), he's being sent to baseball purgatory in order to learn how to suffer.

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.

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.

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

It's just a matter of time before Corky is a manager somewhere.
