September 25, 200322 yr According to Barry Rozner, many in the Yanks organization feel Dent would be a perfect fit on the South Side. He also was the runner-up to Manuel in 1997, but he was a favorite of JR. Bucky started his career with the Sox, and his current pitching coach in AAA is Neil Allen. (Who is rumored to take over Mel Stottlemyre's job, unless he goes with Bucky) Any thoughts? Barry on Bucky
September 25, 200322 yr Bucky was a favorite player of everyone when he was with us. How is he as a manager? I do not know anything about his managerial record or abilities.
September 25, 200322 yr He hit a dramatic homerun to win a huge game against Boston and he was at Soxfest!!!!!!!!!!!!!
September 25, 200322 yr The famous home run Bucky hit against the Bosox was in 1977 and that was as a Yankee to win a one game playoff. If he ever hit a big home run for us to beat the Bosox I do not recall it off hand. I am still looking for info on his managing. On nostalgia value of course I would welcome him back. But I want to win in 2004, not be placated with a Old Time Sox Player as Manager. Is he any good as a manager?
September 25, 200322 yr I don't know about his managing skills, but he had quite a performance in the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders movie.
September 25, 200322 yr well hire him then! get a bunch of dyed blonde sluts leading cheers at the ball park and most of the posters here will forget all about baseball

If we were talking big home runs for the White Sox, we would be looking for days as they don't exist. This is the mentality we need.
September 25, 200322 yr I am still looking for info on his managing. Year League Team G W L WP Finish 1989 AL East NYY 40 18 22 .450 5 1990 AL East NYY 49 18 31 .367 7 ...........TOTAL 89 36 53 .404 Hmmm...
September 25, 200322 yr Well, if it's troubling thoughts you want, here's one. If they are going to go with veterans again, tweaking here and there, and they decide to get a "veteran" kind of manager, there's a guy who Kenny Williams played for, who won two world series, and fits what seems to be Reinsdorf's criteria concerning race. I'm no fan, but it could be Cito Gaston.
