September 15, 200916 yr In the most recent White Sox Q&A there was some speculation that Walker might not come back next year. Not that Walker is getting fired, more that he might resign or retire. Just thought it was worthy of news.

September 15, 200916 yr I hope he doesn't come back just so somebody else can be the new whipping boy.
September 15, 200916 yr QUOTE (CanOfCorn @ Sep 15, 2009 -> 04:21 PM) Chris Chambliss...come on down... That's the direction i think we're leaning in too. Although i wouldn't mind inviting Gerald Perry to an interview.
September 15, 200916 yr gonzalez did acknowledge this was mostly baseless speculation on his part lest anyone get their hopes too high.

September 15, 200916 yr I know it would never happen.....but I think the Big Hurt would make an awesome hitting coach!!

He might have been a great player, but he had a very unique approach and really its typically the mediocre guy that had to work at everything that ends up making the great hitting coach. Plus communication is a huge factor on what makes a coach good and Thomas was never known for his communication abilities.

However, let's call Walt Hrniak, who Frank worshipped adn was darn good if not the best. Edited September 15, 200916 yr by elrockinMT

September 16, 200916 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 15, 2009 -> 05:11 PM) If Hriniak wanted a permanent job right now, he'd have one. Doubtful. He was known as a very grumpy guy and the reason the Sox canned him was because the most of the players hated him and vice versa.
