We're really searching for positive stuff to talk about this off-season. However, in another mind-boggling development, former Boston first baseman Bill Buckner will be heading back to Idaho and not coaching for the Red Sox. He'll be the new hitting coach for the Cubs' Single A affiliate Boise Hawks. Of course, the move is due to the resistance of the Red Sox ownership group to hire Buckner—as new manager Bobby V. wanted. Nice going, NOG. And kudos to new Chicago President of Baseball Operations, Theo Epstein.
