I was hoping for a complete break with Counsell … I hate that these two buddies will lead separate teams … I don’t want a chummy Brewers / Cubs relationship between the managers
I’m terribly disappointed in this decision
Murphy is the only name mentioned that made me cringe
He belongs with his little buddy Counsell in Chicago
I was hoping for a younger, Brewers system guy like McKinven
Oh well … I was pulling for the Brewers long before Murphy & assuming I live for a while I’ll be pulling for them once he is fired sometime in the future
This makes me equally as sad as Counsell bolting for the Cubbies
I’m not excited at all … I hope they tear down & rebuild immediately
I love Wade Miley as a pitcher & he is certainly a strong clubhouse leader
I don’t believe he is worth $10M per year (only 120 innings this year)
I can’t imagine anyone giving him a two-year contract at his age with his injury history
