Twins hired rookie Rocco Baldelli as their manager. He's been great. Really smart, nice, articulate, saber-smart, straightforward, sincere, honest, etc..
Obviously the Cubs don't have the Twins talent and no manager is going to show up and win >100 games like Baldelli did.
I just mention him as a rookie who showed up and was immediately terrific. So I think the qualities the guy brings is more important than experience or lack thereof. I'm fine with a rookie manager, *IF* he's got the right attributes.
Can the Cubs move to the AL Central, because I think that would fix a lot of their problems if the got to play 57 (41-16) games against teams with a combined -635 run differential. Against the bottom 7 teams in run differential the Twins where 54-19. The Cubs where 23-11.
