Joe Girardi and the Cubs

Two days ago, former Yankees’ player and manager Lou Piniella announced his
retirement from baseball, effective at the end of the season......

... Sure enough, there has since been plenty of speculation that Piniella's
successor could be none other than current Yanks' manager Joe Girardi. And
why not? It makes plenty of sense on the surface. Girardi (and, I believe,
his wife, but don’t quote me on that) grew up not far from the Windy City in
Peoria. He went to school at Northwestern in Chicago, was drafted by the Cubs
and broke into the majors with them before returning for a second stint later
in his career. His roots in Chicago obviously run very deep. It’s a match
made in baseball heaven: a manager with success in a large market coming back
to manage his hometown team. They make movies out of this stuff.....

...If nothing else, the Cubs' opening gives Girardi some serious leverage when
the time comes for his new deal. His current contract has an average annual
value of $2.5M, which is above the league average but not insane......

...What the Yankees can’t offer Girardi is home. Sure, he’s settled down in
the area, but I'm sure the Chicago area is still home to him. I lived on the
West Coast for a few years after school and I ended up moved back to New York
simply because I missed being home, and I’m a whole lot younger than
Girardi. Can you imagine how much a career journeyman backup catcher misses
being settled and at home?......

...Not many people get to play or manage or coach or whatever close to their
hometown in this game, so I would certainly understand if he wanted the job.
Maybe he wants a new challenge......
