Chi Cubs promote Ryno to manage I-Cubs

Ryne Sandberg will manage the Cubs' Triple-A team here in Iowa next year.

And my guess is that he'll take over for Lou Pinella in 2011. Ryno is a talented skipper who is understandably on the fast track to take over the big club. I have a hunch that once he gets his next promotion, he'll be managing the Cubs for a very long time.

May his vacation never start until late October. In the meantime... welcome to Des Moines, Ryno!
