kapkomet Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news;_ylt=AoH_...n&type=lgns One of the more intriguing names on the Nationals' long list of managerial candidates is White Sox third base coach Joey Cora. "He's an impressive guy," says a rival club official. "He respected the game and played it the right way. He could be a quieter Ozzie (Guillen) with just as much fire." If Cora doesn't get his shot this time, he could become the White Sox's bench coach. . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buehrle>Wood Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 "He could be a quieter Ozzie Guillen" What, exactly, is the point then? But yeah, I fully condone him leaving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winninguglyin83 Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 If you like seeing at least one guy thrown out at home by 20 feet every week, Joey is your guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If joey was the manager he wouldn't be sending people home from the dugout......or would he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 This would be one of the biggest gains of the offseason. SIGN HIM UP NATTIES!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 There was an article this morning in one of the Washington papers saying that Cora was now out of the race for the Nats job. Don't think he was ever considered one of the favorites anyway. But now putting him in as the bench coach would be an interesting proposition. Wonder how people on here feel about that (and I feel sorry for the poor guy who has to come in an replace him as the 3rd base coach, if indeed it is going to happen).

Everytime someone is thrown out at home it's his fault. Everytime the runner is safe the runner was aggressive and did well. It's a no win job. It's like being an offensive coordinator for the Arizona Cardinals. Edited October 23, 2006 by ptatc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont mind being aggresive with guys like Podsenick where there is going to be a play at the plate. Its when he sends Konerko in the same situation and he is out by 10 feet that is ridiculous.

AbeFroman Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I like Joey Cora. He always played hard for the sox... though I've had my qualms about his third base coaching decisions, I hope he gets the call to coach a big league team. As a rule, I'll always root for past white sox players to suceed in other ventures. Cora was never the most talented player... but he had a higher baseball iq than most. I hope he gets the job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baines3 Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I also hope he gets the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan562004 Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 If Cora leaves it would be an interesting to see who replaces him at 3rd. I would be interested if it would be an Ozzie choice or if KW and the org stick someone in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Prolly Baines to 3rd, Razor Shines to 1st. Not sure on the bench coach. Would Kittle get into coaching again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
