Hire Ryne to Replace Clint

There is an old saying for testing ideas: "See if it plays in Peoria". Hall of Fame player and future HOF manager Ryne Sandberg, the former second baseman Par Excellence of the Chicago Cubs, is now the manager of the Peoria Chiefs of the Class A Midwest League. From all accounts, he is doing an excellent job there, and is already being touted by the Chicago media as the Cubs' next manager. What better place to be groomed for moving up to the Cubs than Colorado? Let him get his Major League managerial feet wet in Denver first, then move to the Cubs when Piniella is fired? If the Rockies act fast, like right now, they can beat everyone else to the punch and have a decent manager, for a while, at least.
