Before I mentioned his name I was aware of his Cubs ties. This forum constantly talks of changing the culture of being cheap and homegrown. I am suggesting a manager (even an expensive one) would do a lot to change that image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GermanSoxFan Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Ricky Renteria is not the reason the Sox are struggling. Reinsdorf is right in one thing, paying big bucks to managers is stupid and that money is better spent elsewhere Too bad that means a new ivory back scratcher for Jerry. 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is definitely a good idea. But what in history has ever shown you that Reinsdorf pays big money for managers? It doesn't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does Ricky have to do with Girardi being overrated though? 1782 games / 988 wins / 794 losses / .554 winning percentage. I realize it's the Yankees but that averages out to 90 wins a season. So how is he so overrated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Sox are going outside the organization for the next manager give me Joe Espada or Carlos Beltran.

I realize it's the Yankees but that averages out to 90 wins a season. So how is he so overrated? There is a reason so many teams hire first time managers and/or promote guys from within the system the last few years. Managers don’t really matter, at least not as in game strategists. IIRC Baseball Prospectis ran the numbers on that some time ago and the diference between the best and the worst was 2 wins.

If this was always true, everyone wouldn't hate Renteria so much. He's terrible, regardless of how much he impacts the win/loss record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
