hi8is Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 QUOTE (klaus kinski @ Oct 7, 2011 -> 06:30 AM) How long and who?

Buehrle>Wood Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Hope it is someone experienced. What former managers are looking for work (okay, that's very broad)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 My guess is Lamont will be the bench coach. I also think McEwing will get the 3rd base coach job and Manto will get the hitting coach job. I'd prefer Laker be the hitting coach, since he's familiar with the young guys, but the Tribune hinted more towards Manto. I wonder if he speaks Spanish, because we're going to need someone to help with the Cubans and other Latin players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laker might be the hitting coach, but I would really think Robin Ventura gets someone he wants as coach. Harold baines is staying and he and Ventura played together so former Sox players might be in the mix. After the total surprise with Ventura picked as manager I wonder what new and exciting things await in the coaches decision? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if he speaks Spanish, because we're going to need someone to help with the Cubans and other Latin players. From what I read, Lamont seemed surprised by the hire, although suppoprtive of Robin as a person. His comments were those of a "you have to pay your dues first," old schooler. I really can't see him leaving Leyland after all these years to come back here to tutor Robin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve9347 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 As long as they have zero experience, they are qualified. Said player should also speak Spanish and have zero interest in the media. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAVVY18 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 What about Brenley? It would get him back in the game, but not the responsibilities of manager...and piss off the cubby fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"why are we looking outside for a bench coach when we have Buddy Bell?" No go on Buddy Bell. They said they need to seek permission which wouldn't be the case for Bell. Also he said he didn't want the manger position because of all the travel so why would he agree to be the bench coach for less money/power with the same travel.

Kalapse Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Oct 7, 2011 -> 12:01 PM) bob nightengale suggested Paul Molitor I like the idea of Molitor, 3 years as Tom Kelly's bench coach. Brenly's another good one, dude knows the damn game and comes with plenty of experience. My guess is still Riggs, it makes a ton of sense.

Marty34 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 He said the coaches would be someone he could trust, hinted that they'll be younger guys. I'm thinking someone that he played with who has AL ties. Wild guess Wakamatsu, Toronto's bench coach. Pena also a good guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
