Craig Counsell offered a series of measured responses during his introductory press conference at Wrigley Field on Monday, repeatedly stating his desire to take things slow and get them right. Part of that was simply making sure he didn’t get carried away by the whirlwind courtship that saw him pretty much teleport from Milwaukee to Chicago, but the manager spoke often about the importance of relationships and establishing a firm emotional foundation with his coaching staff and players.
He declined to provide any specifics about how that staff will shake out, who’s staying from the previous regime(s) and who’s joining him from the Brewers.
