As the season winds down, the Cubs are beginning to contemplate their coaching staff for 2013.

James Rowson, who took over in June when Rudy Jaramillo was fired, has impressed Dave Sveum thus far.

"I think [Rowson's] done a good job," Sveum said. "I don't think we judge anything like that on numbers or anything like that. But he's got the right mentality, the work ethic, all that. He's done a great job for stepping in in a tough situation."
