Rick Renteria

Rick Renteria was a good soldier for the Cubs. He came in to manage a team full of youngsters on the rise, and just when they were about to reach their potential, he was dumped in favor of Joe Maddon. I always thought Renteria got a raw deal, even though I agreed (and still agree) with the move to bring in Maddon.

Apparently the Cubs agree that he got a raw deal. They gave Rick a World Series ring.
