That is gong to make things harder for us.

"Ricketts said he was seeking a general manager who could use the new statistical and analytical data in baseball in conjunction with traditional scouting, a description that fits Epstein."

 

And every other GM in baseball at this point. I chuckled when I read that line.

 

I'd have to imagine Francona will be on the short list to interview on the North Side.

wow wonder if Fracona would have stayed if this guy was leaving.

I heard last night that this makes Sandburg a serious candidate, as Theo tried to hire him for Boston's AAA team within the last couple of years.

Prince Fielder to the Northside....I'll get the worry started.
