December 12, 201312 yr Did I miss something? Is Harold no longer with the team? I was looking through the White Sox MLB site and noticed that Harold Baines is no longer listed as a coach of anykind. I am on Soxtalk most days and I don't remember any mention of Harold being gone. Anyone able to shed any light on this? http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/team/coaches.jsp?c_id=cws

December 12, 201312 yr Harold Baines is the assistant hitting coach, a position not listed on the Sox web site.
December 12, 201312 yr QUOTE (Jillian Michaels' Abs @ Dec 12, 2013 -> 11:42 AM) Harold Baines is the assistant hitting coach, a position not listed on the Sox web site. Why would Thome be listed? I heard an interview with Rick Hahn a couple of months ago and they were asking about Thome. Rick really was having a hard time answering exactly what he did, a lot of hemming and hawing, but did concede that Thome's title was special assistant to the GM. Maybe Jimbo is taking Harold's spot. They could probably have him just work home games. Edited December 12, 201312 yr by Dick Allen
December 12, 201312 yr I imagine it went down similar to Milton in Office Space. They kept moving Harold's locker closer to the exit until he was gone, but he was just too quiet and soft-spoken to say anything about it. He might still be in the parking lot thinking he has a job.
December 12, 201312 yr Maybe it's a "work from home" position. Harold watching video of all of Adam Dunn's Ks

Harold watching video of all of Adam Dunn's Ks All he has to do is watch MLB Network. 90% of the time they are talking about a pitcher and they show footage of that pitcher, it includes video of Adam Dunn striking out. It is uncanny.

He's gonna put strychnine in the dippin dots.
December 14, 201312 yr maybe he's getting back in shape to make a run at those 134 hits he needs to get to 3,000
