SVEUM

Dale Sveum why can be for beginners!

A friend of mine asked today: "Well, as Dale Sveum get passed by more than half its own brewery and still is the best Red Sox and the Cubs can do?" To this I said to him, you really need to know the guy. Of course, brewers knew him and still do not hire him. So, twice. But, you know, when Ken Macha is available, it's something you just can not go further.After many years as a coach Brewers and a short stint as interim manager, Dale Sveum is the new manager of the Cubs.
 



But here's what I know about Dale Sveum:

Slightly more than 13 years ago, Sveum was in the back of his playing career, killing time at the end of the bench in the Bronx. He sometimes spell Scott Brosius at third base. Once in a while he would give Tina Martinez a break from first base.

He's not a lot.


 

It was in 1998, the Yankees the best team I ever covered, perhaps, the best team anyone covered, and at-bats off the bench, as a rule, Tim Raines, Chili Davis, Shane Spencer or even Ricky Ledee in. Luis Soho was the utility infielder.

This team crushed everyone.
