October 12, 20205 yr I am not a fan of the past...but he truly is the best candidate to take them to the World Series in 2021. Damn. I have trashed the Astros and am gonna have to own up this going forward.

October 12, 20205 yr I will say this about Hinch... Out of all the Trashtros he was the only one that I saw as sincere in being contrite. He did seem to really be sorrowful and regretted not taking more leadership while being complicit. That said, he certainly was not completely honest. Of all the players and all the other Trashtros coaches and officials, Hinch was really the most repentant.

I don’t want to touch that with a ten-foot pole, especially with this org’s history.
October 12, 20205 yr Thoughts: Keep your thoughts consistent. There's going to be a lot of posters who shit on hiring one of the three guys associated with the cheating, but if hired, will be big fans. Just keep it consistent. My thoughts are I'd take any of those three, but would prefer someone else. I don't much care about the cheating angle much, but would rather stay away from it. ** This also goes for George Springer.. either be for him or against. Don't be wishy washy if we sign Hinch & Springer

October 12, 20205 yr Put me down as apparently the only person who would like this. He should absolutely be the hire.
October 12, 20205 yr I'm sure Keuchel would vouch for Hinch. Maybe that gives us a leg up on Springer too? I guess I don't know how much Hinch had to do with the cheating - if he really just let it happen and tried to turn a blind eye I'm ok with that. Sometimes you need to learn harsh lessons.

If we have gotten to this point, and Hinch really is a candidate, I promise you that Dallas was a part of the process.

If this was pre-cheating scandal I'd be incredibly pumped to turn into the Astros central. Let's just stay away from Cora and Beltran.

Maybe people aren't too familiar with the details of the scandal, but Hinch is the one who was bothered by the plan and even destroyed a monitor to discourage them from continuing. It was really Cora's operation. The only move I would be opposed to the Sox making for moral reasons would be if they wanted to acquire an Aroldis Chapman or Roberto Osuna. If you ask me, that kind of character issue is what teams should really be avoiding.

It is difficult to argue that any other candidate out there has a stronger track record though.
October 12, 20205 yr It is interesting what someone posted earlier that signing AJ Hinch probably ends any Bauer talk, and maybe the White Sox think that is just as well. As great as he has pitched, he does have his warts. Maybe the Sox don't want to touch him with a 10 foot pole. This gets them off the hook for being too cheap to give him hundreds of millions of dollars, and they upgrade the dugout.

The message board is full of fake outrage and fake accolades mixed in with a whole bunch of mind changing and not owning up to bad takes.
