I don't see him as any sort of ambassador of the game, so that talk has always confused me.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Levine just said on ESPNNEWS that Lou might stay on as a Cubs consultant. I don't see how that benefits the team to be honest.

That's like what happened with Grady Little a while back. Why bother? Do we need another overpaid fossil hanging around just collecting a paycheck? Whatever.

It only works if they have power like Bill Parcells in Miami. He could pull strings. You really think Lou can give good advice when he pinch hits Fontenot for Soto in the 9th inning, down a couple runs? No way. Just collecting a paycheck like you said, rok. I'd rather spend that 50,000 on something worthwhile.
