October 4, 20223 yr We should form a college of coaches. Gather together eight coaches from across the various disciplines and they can co-manage the team. I'd pick four from the MLB team and four from the MiLB system. In fact the eight would rotate through the entire system establishing a consistent managerial expectation throughout the organization. Even better this will allow for a relief manager just like a relief pitcher. If a manager is having a bad game or even falling asleep, a relief manager could take over. Let's also replace Hahn with a college style athletic director, preferably with no baseball experience. But keep him around for no apparent reason. Sometimes reality is funnier than comedy.

I am thinking anarcho-syndicalist management team. All players take turns acting as sort of an executive officer for each game, but all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special half-inningly-meeting by a simple majority in the case of tactics, but by a two-thirds majority in the case of player substitutions.

Sometimes reality is funnier than comedy. Which FO Big Dog would have the White Sox in a better position short and long term starting today? Rick Hahn or Nick Saban?

October 5, 20223 yr By the way what I described was exactly what the Cubs did in 1961 to about 1965. Verbatim.

Some of the names I remember were Elvin Tappe, Vedie Himsel and Harry Craft. This could work with the Sox as it couldn't be worse than what we saw the last 2 years with TLR.
