Y2Jimmy0 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 (edited) I think it's clear that Robin Ventura will be relieved shortly after the season. Who will be the next manager? I still say Sandy Alomar. Edited September 21, 2016 by Y2JImmy0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Most likely Renteria IMO, though I wouldn't be surprised if they wanted a former player like A.J., Rowand, Thome, and maybe even Konerko to take the job.

I don't think there's any chance that it's Renteria. I just feel like they would have had him take over this season if it were going to be him.

Y2Jimmy0 Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 I'm surprised by the Rick Renteria votes. Wouldn't they have just tried that already if that were the case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I think they'll hire an Hispanic that speaks Spanish. Hopefully someone with major league coaching or minor league managing experience to a 3-year deal. Who that is, I don't know and I don't care. I just hope they hire someone who fits in with what they're trying to accomplish over the next couple years, and are willing to fire them after three years if they're not good.

iamshack Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 QUOTE (raBBit @ Sep 21, 2016 -> 09:05 AM) Was told Renteria had/has too much respect for RV to overtake him during the year. That's a pretty class move for a guy who was unceremoniously dumped after doing a pretty fair job himself across town. That actually intrigues me a bit.

bjm676 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 (edited) Bruce Bochy and the Giants part ways after the struggle down the stretch and is hired by the White Sox In reality, it's gonna be the same crap all over again.

YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I think Renteria would be a major upgrade over Robin. He turned the team on the North Side into a decent team with very little work with. The Sox have much more talent than the Cubs did at that time.

Doubt it will be Martinez. He was -in-house in Tampa and they passed over him for cash. I vote for Chili Davis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiderman Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Sep 21, 2016 -> 09:46 AM) I think it's clear that Robin Ventura will be relieved shortly after the season. Who will be the next manager? I still say Sandy Alomar. It's most like an ex-White Sox player, experience need not matter from their previous hires. I'm more interested in if they are hiring a metrics driven manager vs. an old-school manager. I'm not even sure how Robin fits into that.

Dunt Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 (edited) Whoever they decide on, I really hope it's a full cleanse of the coaching staff. The message is stale and they need a lot of new life in there. Coop has run his course, teaching every pitcher a cutter isn't innovative. I haven't seen big improvement from any Sox pitchers in awhile. My vote would be for Renteria or Black from the list above.
