management

We See the "Puff", But Where's the "Stuff"?

The shake-up at the Cubs is certainly understandable and, perhaps, even over-due. But while we hear John McDonough saying the goal is to bring the World Series to Wrigley Field, what exactly is the upper management strategy that is going to do that? At this point we have a general manager, Jim Hendry, whose success is highly questionable. What is the thinking at the Tribune Company? Is Hendry capable of leading a more successful attempt than heretofaore to improve the team? If so why? Was McPhail an impediment? (I hardly think so). Are they so devoid of direction that they are just keeping Hendry around because its cheaper than buying him out and it will allow time to think things through? How many years do they need to think things through? What manager interviewing or coming into this opening is going to be sure of his position or future?
