Many Chicago Cubs fans expected the team to go after a lot of pitching prospects in last week’s draft, and in the end the team used seven of their first ten picks on pitchers. While no one can predict the kind of impact these players will have on their respective teams, many people like to look back at past drafts...
Talk with Maddux inspires Rangers' Lindblom
ARLINGTON, Texas After his first major league start didn't go so well, Josh Lindblom had a talk with Greg Maddux, the special assistant to the GM for the Rangers who also happens to own four Cy Youngs.

Full Count Flashback: Greg Maddux Had An Amazing Career
Greg Maddux Career was unparalled
How does a guy who looks like an accountant and has an avg fastball speed under 90 mph win 350+ games and strikeout 3300+ players?
Like real estate, location, location, location.
I still remember when the Chicago Cubs let him go and he signed with the Atlanta Braves. I couldn’t stop shaking my head. I was so confused as to why the Cubs would...
Greg Maddux on twitter? Either way that is quite a sweater
Greg Maddux may have been the best pitcher in the history of baseball. Sure someone will take the time to argue with me about this but the man had no fastball, looked like a typical 9-5 employee and I can not recall anyone having a bad Greg Maddux s

Greg Maddux is on Twitter, may have social media’s greatest profile pic
Even though it has yet to be verified by Twitter and their little blue check mark (but given the thumbs up by MLB’s Twitter account), I’m fairly confident this account belongs to future Hall of Fame pitcher, and current pitching coach for the USA Baseball team at the 2013 World Baseball Classic, Greg Maddux. Normally an athlete joining Twitter—or resurrecting a somewhat dormant...
Even Greg Maddux May Have Trouble Getting Into the Hall of Fame Next Year
Recently, we’ve talked in the comments a little about how much harder it is going to be to get anybody into the Hall of Fame in future ballots because the BBWAA has clogged it up with very legitimate candidates. I’ve seen expectations here and elsewhere that Maddux will get in for sure next year. Normally, I’d agree that he, at the very least, should have no problems at all...

Greg Maddux joining brother to help Rangers
One of the possible perks for Texas Rangers pitching coach Mike Maddux about the managerial job with the Chicago Cubs was the possible opportunity to work with his brother Greg.
As it turns out, it will happen even though the Cubs hired somebody else.

Meet the Cubs Managerial Candidates: Mike Maddux
Mackanin is the first to interview and the first to be profiled. Next up is Greg Maddux's big brother, Mike Maddux who will interview sometime next week after he gets over a case of laryngitis. Gordon Wittenmeyer pegs him as the early favorite because he's a pitching coach and the Cubs need better pitching. I hope that makes as little sense to everyone else as it does to...
