November 9, 201510 yr @CST_soxvan: White Sox appear close to naming Renteria bench coach. https://t.co/BKHFpKUZmv
November 9, 201510 yr Renteria would be a very strong hire if this indeed happens. Thank you Nationals for f***ing up the Bud Black hire.
November 9, 201510 yr Bleh. Wasn't this guy the Cubs manager a year or two ago? He's better than Mark Parent by default, but it don't see how he's a huge improvement.

Not sure how the Sox could do much better, especially considering Robin's lame duck status.
November 9, 201510 yr I don't think he would have have been fired if it wasn't for Maddon becoming available. Right?

November 9, 201510 yr I'm on board. Now we need to be aggressive this offseason again. "It’s possible the hiring of a former Cubs manager turns out to be the most flamboyant move the Sox make." Pssh Edited November 9, 201510 yr by SouthSideSale
November 9, 201510 yr QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Nov 8, 2015 -> 10:50 PM) I'm on board. Now we need to be aggressive this offseason again. Hopefully aggressive in building the organization and bringing in young talent. Like we were in 2013. Hopefully not aggressive in bringing in"proven veterans" which failed miserably last year. Renteria did a good job with the Cubs.

I'm fairly certain they dont want to repeat the strategy in 2013 again.
November 9, 201510 yr olt, turner, renteria. Quite a trail of Cubs' cast offs. Who's next -- Corey Patterson?

November 9, 201510 yr Dan Hayes @CSNHayes 54s55 seconds ago Also, no announcements today on #WhiteSox coaching staff even though it appears Rick Renteria is close to being named bench coach.
November 9, 201510 yr Ok so I'm guessing they're working out contractual things. Crossing Is dotting Ts especially with Robin and the rest of the staff on one year deals (?).
November 9, 201510 yr He was doing a good job with the Cubs. It's just that Maddon was made available.

It's just that Maddon was made available. here is my question, i do not know nothing of Renteria. but is he really a good coach??? does anyone think he is a mentor for RV while on the bench to teach him the finer points of the game?? can he be the next manager after RV??

Maybe someone can find a counterexample, but if a manager gets fired, it's pretty rare for a member of his coaching staff to get the promotion. If the manager resigns/retires, maybe, but not fired.
