November 2, 20232 yr Janish probably intersects with Nick Hostetler and also has connections to Dayton Moore disciples through his time with the Braves. Nick: I have a lot of the Atlanta Braves scouting in me. I learned a lot from Paul Schneider and Roy Clark and I got really close with Dayton Moore of the Royals. Those roots and the foundation are there for me. I have been around a lot impressive people. Hostetler, who has been a scout of many different capacities, has been with the White Sox since 2007 but got his break with the Atlanta Braves when he was in college. Nick embraces the foundation the incredibly successful Braves organization had given him as he takes on a role that is the pinnacle of the scouting career path. https://www.futuresox.net/2015/08/06/exclusive-interview-white-sox-scouting-director-nick-hostetler/ Edited November 2, 20232 yr by caulfield12

November 2, 20232 yr 5 minutes ago, wegner said: How many hats will he be expected to wear? Will have to constantly refer to the Royals and Braves, for one thing. And pretend he leveraged Rice players into future stardom. The funny thing is that NCAA salaries are blowing MLB out of the water in recent years. Then you have JR’s reputation for underpaying (lone exceptions TLR and Cooper) coaching and front office staff. Must have been the powerful title that was roughly 75% of the enticement.

November 2, 20232 yr 2 hours ago, Soxfest said: cheap uninspiring hire with no real experience for job hired. I thought it was pretty well established when Chris Getz came to the Sox front office that "assistant director of player development" was as close to entry level as one can be. Maybe Barfield was big on this guy, and saw him as someone to mold in his own image.

Or Dayton Moore as the Getz mentor, who just added WS title #3 with Rangers...or pretty sure #4 if you include one 90's era Braves' team led by Glavine Smoltz Maddux Chipper Andruw and Javier Lopez.

November 3, 20232 yr Bleh. I would have been more perked up had they hired Steve Bieser, mizzous former head coach. Don’t mind poaching from college, many (all?) have more sophisticated PD operations than the white Sox, but would have enjoyed a better program. That said, bieser for example had no chance in the SEC. They tried every trick to maximize player growth and development, still a pretty meh record. Maybe Rice is the same.
