September 19, 201411 yr http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/writer/jon-he...ew-are-lukewarm 12. Robin Ventura, White Sox. The White Sox understood they were in a rebuilding time when they gave Ventura a three-year extension last winter after an even rougher season. Ventura, who has perhaps the perfect demeanor for the demanding job, seems to be growing along with the improving team, and with his relationship with White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf and the front office, he might have what amounts to close a lifetime chance if he desires.

September 19, 201411 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 19, 2014 -> 01:49 PM) So his extension was for 3 years? Hopefully this year plus 2 more rather than this year plus 3 more.
September 19, 201411 yr Author QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 19, 2014 -> 01:49 PM) So his extension was for 3 years? Which was exactly why I posted that clip. Thanks for catching that.
September 19, 201411 yr QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Sep 19, 2014 -> 08:44 PM) That's great news. Give the man some talent and let's see what he can do. Like the article said, he's going to be Sox manager a long, long time. Time to upgrade the talent.

September 19, 201411 yr Well of course not. 2 horrendous seasons, but the manager can't possibly have anything to do with it. He's Robin. It's been a long time since this organization prioritized winning. Edited September 19, 201411 yr by GreenSox
September 20, 201411 yr QUOTE (scs787 @ Sep 19, 2014 -> 07:43 PM) Are you posting on a phone that auto corrected if to after? um, no. That's a prediction. I won't be mad if I'm proven wrong, but that's my guess. This team will continue to be undisciplined, uncaring, they'll spend money at some point and the first fact won't change. They'll buffoon themselves into an 82 win season after Hahn blows $40 million a year in the offseason and someone will have to take the blame.

Joe Maddon, despite losing 101 games his first year and 96 his second is STILL managing the team.
September 20, 201411 yr Ill give you the facts right now. They think he has 2 more years to prove hes a guy they want. If not they will replace him. Its already been discussed but they also know that the teams he has been given are dogs***. Next year goes a long way towards his eval.

It's been a long time since this organization prioritized winning. I literally cannot agree with one bit of that statement. They have won a WS title, they have added payroll and players to contend and even though it hasnt worked out since they still are trying to win. This rebuilding job IMO shows they want to win, and they want to stay a winning club.
