mcgrad70 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 28, 2011 -> 04:22 PM) The GM is supposed to be the higher-up. An owner making baseball decisions is a recipe for disaster. Reinsdorf signed off on the LaRussa firing at the time For better or worse Kenny should have been allowed to pick his own manager. Otherwise, Reinsdorf should declare him as the defacto GM a la Charlie O. But Charlie was a superior judge of talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cell, that's off the wall, maybe over. Ichiro - there's a waste of talent if I ever saw one - still he should make it to the HOF Should have played in bigger venue - like say Chicago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 28, 2011 -> 08:33 PM) I think the major plus of that experience is to learn to manage the egos involved and to deal with the media, not because the game is any different at the major league level than in the minor leagues. How many bench coaches and 3rd base coaches deal with the media? Sandberg has dealt with the media more than probably most. Again, I don't know if he would be any good, but to say since he doesn't have major league experience as a coach he shouldn't even be considered as a manager which is what Joe is saying, is beyond ridiculous.

Signing Rios was worse than Dunn. I'll never get that one. A least Dunn came here with an established record of being dominant offensively.

Rowand44 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 28, 2011 -> 05:37 PM) I don't know why we need compensation. He only has one year left on his deal and the Sox don't want him anyway. So why not just let him go to Florida so the Sox can hopefully name Sandberg ASAP. It better not be Cora or Buddy Bell or LaRussa. LaRussa is a crabby old man. Let Tony retire and write books about how baseball should be played LaRussa style. Give me Lasorda.
