Baker not worried about his contract

CINCINNATI — Cubs manager Dusty Baker held off Wednesday in commenting at length about his own contract status until the contract extension of general manager Jim Hendry gets done.
Look for the Cubs to announce Hendry’s new deal Saturday.
Coming into this season, both Baker and Hendry were entering the final seasons of their contracts.
“It’s premature for me to comment on that because I don’t think it’s done yet,” Baker said. “I’m not worried about mine. I’m glad for Jim big time. It’s just business as usual for me.”
Baker may negotiate his own deal with the Cubs this time if Hendry does as expected and offers Baker an extension. When Baker left San Francisco for Chicago in November 2002, his agent was Jeff Moorad, who now runs the Arizona Diamondbacks.
During spring training, Baker said he’d like to stay in Chicago. “Like I told you guys, I came here to do a job with a purpose, and nothing’s going to stop me and deter us from reaching our goal,” Baker reiterated Wednesday, referring to the World Series. “That’s why I came here.”

So what do you guys think? Do you guys want Baker back or would you rather get past this whole theory of him having a negative effect on the pitchers' health?

he may have had a negative impact on prior's health. But for most of them, he hasnt been the problem. Woody has been injury prone since the age of 20.

I dont always agree with his managing, but its still the best I can remember, and that includes the Zimmer days.

Yeah I didn't think it was him. I can't make that judgement because I don't know too much about it. But I know there is the theory. Sounds like you would want to keep him around then. Or would you rather have someone else?

If Baker does not win this year he is gone! And even if he does win and LA takes a dive he will be gone anyway. He wants the Dodger job and with LA's new GM I bet he will get it!

if theres someone better, fine. But I dont think there are many better candidates out there.
