Nut my reference was if the team goes with Brenly or Girardi or whoever other than Sandberg, with his continued success someone will pluck him, not this year or next, but within a few years. At least for a bench coach. I guess when I spoke and used the word gobbled up I should have said in the next few years if he continues to kick ass as a minor league manager.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
It's not just you. I've heard this concern a lot. It seems to me the simplest thing in the world is to (assuming someone other than Ryno get's the job) birng him up and put him on the coaching staff. Just advance his career the next step. managing the Cubs (or any other club) does not have to be his next job...this year or down the road. He can be kept happy with advancement short of becoming skipper.
