Very Nice. He comes from Cleveland's FO and even if he does nothing is an upgrade over Boston's coaching of OFers.

Keep plugging away Chris!

Wait, they actually hired a guy who was known for the stuff that he will be in charge of? What madness is this?

…who dropped the fly ball in 2005…in….

Kansas City!!

I'm not sure that there is anything in his post playing career that would suggest this.

Hawk and Ozzie must be excited...

Actually not upset with someone they hired

Because the Sox need a middle of the order, left handed, high obp bat in the lineup

He’ll be good at showing guys how to get hurt.

That is one thing this team are already good at.

In addition to the Cleveland gig, Sizemore also had a coaching cameo in the Dbacks minors last year.

There seems to be an emphasis on younger guys with MLB experience with the recent hires, wonder how/if that will carry over to the hitting coach(es).

I'm also excited...loved him as a player,  

Well, must have seen writing on the wall with incoming new Vogt regime in CLE.

He was a great player until he started getting hurt. First pitch of the 2007 season he put it on the board vs. Contreras. It was a sign of things to come for the White Sox that season.

Kenny always gets his guy

Ladies and Gentleman, we got him.

Per Jimmy on Twitter, sounds like Marcus Thames will be announced as the hitting coach.  

Definitely like the idea of the younger guys with recent MLB experience.  

At least not Craig Monroe ???

 

 

Marcus Thames

New York Yankees

After the 2015 season, the Yankees dismissed Jeff Pentland as their hitting coach, promoted Alan Cockrell, their assistant hitting coach, to replace him, and promoted Thames to the role of assistant hitting coach.[23] After the 2017 season, the Yankees dismissed Alan Cockrell as their hitting coach and promoted Thames to hitting coach.[24] His contract was not renewed for the 2022 season.[25]

Miami Marlins

On November 17, 2021, Thames was hired by the Miami Marlins to serve as the team's hitting coach for the 2022 season.[26]

Los Angeles Angels

On November 7, 2022, the Los Angeles Angels hired Thames as their hitting coach for the 2023 season.[27]
