November 23, 200421 yr Sandy Alomar Jr. as bench coach and Jerry Manuel as 1st base coach. Interesting, I didn't think Sandy was done Though we were the only ones interested... It's Sandy Alomar Sr. not Sandy Alomar Jr.
November 23, 200421 yr It's nice to see JM's name in MLB again; however, it's surprising it's only as a 1B coach.
November 23, 200421 yr It's nice to see JM's name in MLB again; however, it's surprising it's only as a 1B coach. Yeah it is good to see him at least get some job. Especially since it seems teams were only interviewing him to fulfill their quotas.
November 23, 200421 yr It's Sandy Alomar Sr. not Sandy Alomar Jr. That's ok. He still qualifies as an ex-Sox.
November 23, 200421 yr FWIW on Sandy Alomar Jr., has anyone heard anything on whether or not he'll be playing on next season? I've heard he wants to get into coaching, and the Sox could certainly look at him in some form of minor league position.
November 23, 200421 yr Seattle might be interested in Sandy Alomar Jr. if they don't re-sign Dan Wilson, whom the White Sox are talking to.
November 23, 200421 yr That would be a good move by Seattle as Alomar is a mentor of sorts to Olivo. Personally I don't know what to think of Dan Wilson. I'd rather have Kendall.
November 23, 200421 yr Sandy Alomar Jr. as bench coach and Jerry Manuel as 1st base coach. Interesting, I didn't think Sandy was done Though we were the only ones interested... Wonder how many runners will get picked off first when Manuel falls asleep
November 23, 200421 yr It's Sandy Alomar Sr. not Sandy Alomar Jr. Are you sure about that? The Trib is actually reporting that it is Sandy Jr.
November 23, 200421 yr I'd be really surprised if Sandy went and joined the Mets coaching staff cause I know the Sox are interested in giving him a position somewhere in the organizatoin. Also, glad to see JM get another opportunity. I thought he'd of been an excellent hire for the Phillies and while thinks didn't work out in Chicago, I think with the right personell, he's going to once again be a good manager, like he was in the early years with the Sox.
November 23, 200421 yr Are you sure about that? The Trib is actually reporting that it is Sandy Jr. from newsday:According to a source familiar with the situation, the Mets have hired Sandy Alomar Sr. as their bench coach, Jerry Manuel as the first-base coach
November 23, 200421 yr Sandy Alomar Jr. as bench coach and Jerry Manuel as 1st base coach. Interesting, I didn't think Sandy was done Though we were the only ones interested... hey Dan Rather: two things, always double check your resources and its always better to cite your resources.

I thought he'd of been an excellent hire for the Phillies and while thinks didn't work out in Chicago, I think with the right personell, he's going to once again be a good manager, like he was in the early years with the Sox. Manuel is a decent situational manager. He knows how to handle a bullpen, when to pinch run, when not to, when to stick up for his guys, when not to. He just can't motivate whatsoever. Like, I'm sure he could probably talk two teens who want to have sex out of doing it when he's actually trying to encourage them to do it.
November 23, 200421 yr That would be a good move by Seattle as Alomar is a mentor of sorts to Olivo. Personally I don't know what to think of Dan Wilson. I'd rather have Kendall. The SI.com rumors page said that all the teams talking to Wilson (including the Sox) are only looking at him as a backup
November 23, 200421 yr The SI.com rumors page said that all the teams talking to Wilson (including the Sox) are only looking at him as a backup As a backup to whom? Ben Davis!? Jamie Burke!? Yikes!

I've heard he wants to get into coaching, and the Sox could certainly look at him in some form of minor league position. The phillies and him both have mutual interest in him backing up lieberthal.

November 24, 200421 yr Please take it easy on yourself Good post! No typos or anything, and the thought was coherent ... pretty much. I did not know you hated Konerko. Sexson to the Orioles, Mariners drooling over Delgado. Do you see your buddy going to Arizona? Makes some sense, does it not?
November 24, 200421 yr The phillies and him both have mutual interest in him backing up lieberthal. I heard they were most interested in Redmond for that position, although it wouldn't suprise me if they are shopping Lieberthal although he could be a 10/5 player, I don't know.
November 24, 200421 yr Author IN BRIEF: The New York Mets have hired former White Sox manager Jerry Manuel as first base coach and Sandy Alomar Jr. as bench coach, Newsday Reported. Any questions?
