Looooong time observer first time poster

According to Baseball Reference, the Cubs have 17 coaches on staff including the Manager, 4 hitting coaches, Bench, Bullpen, MLB Pitching Strategist, MLB Field Coordinator, 2 other "Major League Coaches" and the other usual suspects. IN 2016 they had a total of 8.

With all of these mensas, it took 69 games to figure out maybe Yon Gomes should bunt with runners on base

Ah yes, the legendary innovator El Tappe. Anything to save PK some nickels. I believe this is when the slang "Clown Show" was first uttered.

When’s the last time a player joined the Cubs and improved as a hitter?

Yeah I've reading this board for years and was unable to see the political section since I wasn't a member. Now that I can see it, Holy Christ! I see that's where all the action is
