Ed Lynch leaves Cubs organization (for real this time)
November 12, 2009 3 Comments
I almost missed this nugget the other day in one of Bruce Levine’s posts from the GM meetings:
We’ve also learned former Cubs general manager Ed Lynch has left the organization to pursue a job with Major League Baseball. Lynch was a scout in Arizona for the Cubs. He was fired as general manager in 2002.
Lynch has been on the Cubs payroll for years. Somehow he even survived a couple of years after Andy MacPhail left the organization.
I guess Lynch as a scout helps to explain the similarities between Lynch’s guys like Ozzie Timmons and Derrick May to Hendry guys like David Kelton and Micah Hoffpauir.
Ricketts now has an open position for Hendry!
I hope Jimbo enjoys the Phoenix area.
