April 17, 201510 yr Cooper my guess, and if they don't turn it around, they go get Gardy this offseason.

April 17, 201510 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 17, 2015 -> 05:55 PM) Or Paul Konerko. I'm totally expecting that next season.
April 17, 201510 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 17, 2015 -> 11:02 PM) I'm totally expecting that next season. Which sucks, cause I really don't want to dislike PK
April 17, 201510 yr I forgot about Thome too. It's the next guy in line with his head up Jerry's ass.
April 17, 201510 yr QUOTE (shipps @ Apr 17, 2015 -> 05:10 PM) Ozzie is coming back. Its been setting up for that for some time now. greg
April 17, 201510 yr I actually think PK would be a great manager, but it's been too soon, and I think too many saw his PR tour ending where he was barely engaged in games for that to work.
April 17, 201510 yr My humble opinion...PK will stay out of baseball for at least five years, and when he comes back, he'll choose not to work for the White Sox. He'll try to stay out west.

Why in the world do you think a guy with zero managerial experience would be a good manager? Basing such an important decision exclusively on a man's character is exactly how we got into this mess to begin with. Edited April 17, 201510 yr by Chicago White Sox
April 17, 201510 yr I'd like them to actually hire someone who's extremely intelligent, like Maddon. I don't necessarily want just another former white sox player. How would PK be any different than Ventura? They're like carbon copies of one another.
April 17, 201510 yr I want someone that would be a real firecracker in the dugout. Thus, Vince Coleman it is!

April 17, 201510 yr QUOTE (OnlyGillis @ Apr 17, 2015 -> 05:29 PM) One word for Ventura ... FRIGHTENING !! It's not cute anymore. He has played a major part in two losses. Good managers don't cost you games.

Unfortunately, we're dealing with the reality of our organization on this one. Ventura really got through to people for one year, maybe we can get that magic again.

It's sickening. manger checklist: 1) team looks sharp (epic fail, keystone cops on the bases, no patience as a lineup, constant mental miscues) 2) don't actively make game losing tactical decision (epic fail, bunts with 2 on no out even with two strikes, makes an inexcusable no challenge today) 3) handle media and don't throw guys under the bus (blames replay team postgame) EPIC FAIL 3 STRIKES YOU'RE OUT SUCKER.

In fairness, Maddon did coach at TB for some time, so it's possible Rick could find a smart guy to manage the White Sox.
