Several ex-Cubs-turned-analysts fill the bill, including Mark Grace, Rick Sutcliffe, Dan Plesac, Eric Karros, Gary Matthews and Mitch Williams.


Grace would be awesome and I enjoy listening to Sutcliffe and Karros. Mitch Williams is OUTSTANDING on the MLB network. I've never heard Gary Matthews do anything related to broadcasting so I can't offer an opinion there. For some reason, I can't stand Plesac.

Pat Hughes is a great pbp guy so I hope they can match him up with somebody that he has good chemistry with. Santo was pretty bad as far as a typical color man goes, but his emotion and the repoir (sp?) he had with Pat made them a great team.

While I'm a Cards fan, I've got a soft spot for the Cubs since my family is all Cubs fans and I can listen to them in my office in the summer. I hope they get somebody good.

Should start and stop with Mark Grace. Done and done.

It's time. Ronnie will be a hard act to follow.

I hope they get a guy with a good sense of humor.

A good sense of humor is essential.

Plesac would be an awesome hire. The guy is top notch on MLB Network

Lou Boudreau and Vince Lloyd will never be topped.
It takes someone willing to have a complete detachment from the carnage on the field.
