Ryne Sandberg to Manage Peoria
Submitted by cubsnet on Tue, 2006-12-05 13:18.
How many millionaires have managed a class A affiliate? Any? Well, there's now one today. The Chicago Cubs today named Ryne Sandberg the manager for the low-A Peoria Chiefs, reports MLB.com. This is Sandberg's first managerial opportunity. His stated goal is to one day manage a big league club: "I know I need to gain the experience on the field and put in the time that is required to be a Major League manager."

Sandberg
That's just cool ... talk about respect for the game. I hope he can impart some of the values he showed as a player to the low-A guys he'll be managing. And I hope the experience serves him well, because the idea of Sandberg successfully managing the Cubs is just too cool for words.
Where is Jody Davis ?
I'm happy for Ryne to get a managing job here in Illinois.
Any news on where the previous manager, Jody Davis, also an ex-Cub moved on to ? His record was well over .500 so I imagine he was moved up in the organization.
I heard that the manager of the AAA team is moving to the big league team. Any news on who is replacing him for the Cubs AAA team?

Jody Davis and the other managers
Jody Davis did move up. He'll be managing Daytona. I have a list of managers and coaches for the farm teams here. Or, you can always click the "farm teams" link at the top of the page.
