bmags 4,587 Report post Posted October 20 Tired of larussa talk so lets do it. Pros: Good name, I could see it working I like "Rising Star" as a thing Cons: No experience Stanford - annoying alumni, but maybe this is a pro as they are less annoying than michigan (sorry @Brian ) His name's pun potential more often denotes bad things so maybe we'll put it in the bad column too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bmags 4,587 Report post Posted October 20 I'd be happy with this. It's the baldelli route and that's fine and good. I'd rather sox have a system where manager responsibilities are more distributed than the superstar manager route. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maloney.adam 234 Report post Posted October 20 (edited) I think this is one of those options that Hahn was talking about that they will keep an open mind about. The Sox are just exploring the market until they can interview the candidates they are really serious about. Edited October 20 by maloney.adam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ok now I can see that happening and would like that a lot but Fuld as a manager to start out. Ehhh I don’t know about that especially with having no experience. It’s like with AJP, he would be better starting off as a bench coach before manager. Edited October 20 by maloney.adam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capital G 80 Report post Posted October 21 As a Rays fan (live in TPA but Sox will always be my #1 team) I remember him in the OF. Hopefully he does not teach Robert to superman every fly ball lol Jokes aside I would love to have him as a bench coach and up and comer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think we've started to overemphasize this hire too much. I'd rather see white sox re-imagine the manager role than lean back on the 2010 era. Hinch/Cora/Quatraro are the inbetween there and the ideal but hinch cora have baggggage Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
