Balta1701 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 QUOTE (Tex @ Oct 11, 2015 -> 11:49 AM) You don't always get your choice. I've wondered for a couple years if "Receiving the Ford C Frick Award from the Hall" would be the thing that gives Hawk a real reason to hang it up.

brett05 Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Hawk has always pulled for Carmen DeFalco. He subbed in once or twice a couple years back. I'd also love a return of Dave Wills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y2Jimmy0 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Matt Spiegel today hinted at the possibility of the White Sox hiring AJ Pierzynski. He said he couldn't really talk about it but said he'd heard rumors. I wonder if they would replace Steve Stone with AJ or just go with AJ/Hawk with Stone. Interesting.

Dick Allen Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 AJ probably could still make a couple million playing next year, but he is pretty good despite his claims that Kendres Morales is a threat to steal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

he gone. Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I want him to manage the Sox. He's the no-nonsense type of guy, a catcher (which seems to work out the best as they have to have a lot of knowledge), and a guy who'd demand respect of the players. Only problem I see is if the players undermine him and loses the clubhouse. Then could be a huge disaster... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thad Bosley Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 The booth configuration gets a little confusing if AJ is brought into the mix, and Stone stays on. I can't imagine a scenario where AJ Pierzynski is a broadcaster for the Sox but NOT broadcasting with Hawk, after all of the "AJ is like a son to me!" stuff Hawk's been talking about all of these years. I also can't imagine Stone moving into a part time role where he only does home games so AJ could go on the road and be with Hawk. Would it be a three man booth on the road? And at home, is Stone the guy you want doing PBP for 81 games? He's not bad as a PBP, IMO, and maybe he'd help make AJ a top notch analyst, but after being an analyst his entire broadcast life, does Stoney want the PBP job at this point? Maybe - who knows. It'll be very interesting to see how it all works out, that's for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
