Just when you think the Cubs have wised up and are going to start making good decisions, such as the one to release Kevin Millar and keep Chad Tracy, they do something stupid. For example, hire Millar to be their roving minor league hitting coach.

Millar presumably will spend the majority of his time with the AAA Cubs, where I suspect his prime focus will be the ruination of Starlin Castro’s career. Or possibly what little bit of Micah Hoffpauir’s career is left. In his spare time, I’m sure Millar will be busy short-sheeting beds, loosening the lids on everyone’s water bottles, and putting itching powder in Ryne Sandberg’s jock strap.

Remember when Dolan said on WGN that they have a name for guys who everyone wants around, but who suck at baseball? “They’re called coaches,” said Dolan. Nice job, Andy. Someone in the front office was listening.
