This is something of an emergency Rundown, since our intrepid columnist Michael Canter has been placed on the IL (more on that in a bit). Monday should be interesting on a number of levels, not the least of which is the Cubs holding a press conference to announce David Ross as the 55th manager in club history.
It’s doubtful we’re going to get the same fanfare or flourish as Joe Maddon provided five years ago, but the presser should be interesting nonetheless. Ross has personality to spare and will surely have to address questions about his courtship and his vision for the team.
