Iowa finished second overall in the PCL American North Division standings with a 79-65 record in 2007. Bailey joined the parent Chicago Cubs organization in 2006 as its roving minor league catching instructor, before assuming the managerial reins in midseason as interim skipper of the Daytona Cubs of the Class A Florida State League.

They were defeated by the Durham Bulls. He won Manager of the Year twice in the IL, in 1996 and 2003, becoming one of only four managers to do that in league history.
