Zumsteg Discusses Piniella

Submitted by cubsnet on Tue, 2006-10-17 12:41.

The hiring of Lou Piniella got Derek at Cub Town and Rob G. at The Cub Reporter talking to USS Mariner proprietor Derek Zumsteg about Piniella's preferences and tendencies.

A few of the nuggets we learn:

  • Piniella likes veterans. Piniella overworks his pitchers unless constrained by a suitable pitching coach. At least we'll avoid anxiety resulting from change.
  • Piniella doesn't like platoons. Good news for Jacque Jones and lefthanded National League pitchers.
  • Piniella likes scrappy players with no talent. But, really, who doesn't?
