September 27, 201114 yr QUOTE (Marty34 @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 05:33 PM) Coop must've had a similar offer from Florida waiting. No, but he probably had one from New York if he wanted it.
September 27, 201114 yr QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 03:13 PM) Baines should not stay. I still have yet to see what it is that he actually does. me neither...
September 27, 201114 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 04:42 PM) No, but he probably had one from New York if he wanted it. Coop would prefer the anonymity of the Marlins to the red hot spotlight of the Yankees.
September 27, 201114 yr You'd have to think the new manager knows Cooper or else this makes no sense. Pitching coach is pretty important position. This should give us a big hint. Does Alomar know Cooper well? Yes would be the answer.
September 27, 201114 yr I agree with Balta. Extending Cooper was, I think, a necessity. But also Baines? That seems odd, because I'd think you'd want the new manager to have as many choices as possible outside of Coop. And I doubt they have made a decision already and talked to that person - Bell has said no, so the only internal guy on anyone's radar is McEwing. The other guys, I think they aren't even allowed to talk with yet.
September 27, 201114 yr QUOTE (Marty34 @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 05:45 PM) Coop would prefer the anonymity of the Marlins to the red hot spotlight of the Yankees. Again, how do you know this? There have been reports connecting him to the Yankees for years. Hell, he gets interviewed on radio in the 3rd largest city in the country and just signed a 4 year deal to stay there.
September 27, 201114 yr QUOTE (Marty34 @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 10:45 PM) Coop would prefer the anonymity of the Marlins to the red hot spotlight of the Yankees. Didn't Cooper grow up a HUGE Yankees fan?
September 27, 201114 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 05:17 PM) Didn't Cooper grow up a HUGE Yankees fan? I'm rather amazed he hasn't gone back there to be honest. He's very loyal to our organization.
September 27, 201114 yr QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 04:29 PM) That's a relief. Every other name I've heard mentioned so far, I'd be fine with. There's a long list of things that need to be fixed beyond the manager, and we at least need to get this move right. I think anyone other than Alomar Jr. would be an upset.
September 27, 201114 yr QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 04:18 PM) And 6 of those he had nothing to do with. Jerry Buss also has nothing to do with any Laker titles...SMH
September 27, 201114 yr QUOTE (Tex @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 04:16 PM) If I was Coop, I'd turn it down until I knew who my new boss would be. He probably has a pretty good idea.
September 27, 201114 yr QUOTE (VictoryMC98 @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 05:37 PM) JR? True that's his real boss, but I'm sure they have let him and Harold know what is going on, and I'm sure if they have been told the likelihood of who it will be.

Hell, he gets interviewed on radio in the 3rd largest city in the country and just signed a 4 year deal to stay there. Pitching coach for the Yankees comes with intense scrutiny. Coop doesn't want that all things being reasonably close to equal.
September 27, 201114 yr Do not understand the rush to give Baines a multi-year deal. He was not going anywhere else. Walker must feel like a sore thumb the next 2 nights and he deserves every minute of it. Edited September 27, 201114 yr by Soxfest

September 28, 201114 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 06:53 PM) Sorry Joe, your sources are wrong on this one. You have a weird obsession with Cowley.
September 28, 201114 yr QUOTE (Marty34 @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 07:04 PM) You have a weird obsession with Cowley. Sez the guy who posts and quotes his stuff ad naseum..
September 28, 201114 yr KW seems to want someone he can control as his new manager, so to me this just signifies the new guy in will be a "yes man" to KW, which totally sucks. I am already deflated hearing this news and what this really means

I am already deflated hearing this news and what this really means "controlling" and "not having a guy diametrically opposed to your philosophy" are two different things.

I am already deflated hearing this news and what this really means Alomar is bad news if you want this organization to embrace a new way of thinking.
