No he's not.

Pro: LaRussa won't take Giolito out of an elimination game after 5.1 IP and 73 pitches Con: ........

If he can only hit singles why would anyone walk him?

I believe he will.

The owner putting his nuts on the line by making an all in move like this has to viewed as a good thing.

I have no idea who they would target if (yes it's still an if) LaRussa accepts the job but I would be much more optimistic that they will spend money.

So if I'm not whining about it I'm cheering for it? Come on man.

Twin brothers with the same first name. Seems to me that would be on the pro scouting department. But either way we're really digging deep here. Sheesh

He did that?

Is that bad? Have you seen Hahn's track record on FA's?

I think if he steps back and looks at it from a different view he would see it could be a really good thing. They would have a direct line to the checkbook.

He's bypasing his President?

Like say being able to name the pitching coach?

He doesn't own the White Sox.

I wonder what the Sox offer was for Clevinger. ?

LaRussa can go straight to his good friend and tell him this is the player we need to put us over the top. Hinch would have to call Jerry's secretary and hope to set up an appointment some time in the next month. And don't forget the coffee and donuts.

If the Owner is bringing his guy out of retirement he's going to give him assurances he's going to spend the money nessessary to field the best team possible.

Yep

I think the Sox payroll will be determined by who they hire as manager.

Very possible they can't get a deal done but they are trying.

The Owners could lock the players out this year to bully them into an agreement.

I don't think the plan would be to trade Grandal.
