Cubs zeroing in on hit guru Jaramillo

One of the Cubs who could have used Rudy Jaramillo most in 2009 said he?s looking forward to celebrating the team?s hiring of the former Texas Rangers hitting coach. ??That?s going to be good news,?? said Alfonso Soriano, who averaged 32 home runs and 98 RBI with Jaramillo and the Rangers in 2004 and ?05. ??We had very good communication because he speaks Spanish. He?s very good and smart. He works very hard, too.??
