No thanks. Looking at Judge here.

There isn't a manager who doesn't give their players days off.

Feel free to scroll through thread to get the answer to this, which was brought up several times and answered... or don't and ignore them...whatever.

I know this is funny...but...It highlights an excellent point on maybe one reason he was hired. He is extremely familiar with the White Sox, is armed with all the oppo research on our team, their tendencies and faults and how to exploit them (which the Royals did successfully), and most likely came into the interview with that information and then how to fix it.

No but it is well known Hahn wanted to hire someone with no ties to the organization... JR overruled him in 2020 and looks to do it again. Both can be true

Odd thing for a "fan" to want...

Yeah...sitting outside in my pool, sipping cold beer is worse. You're right. Don't forget to put out that patio chair to save your parking spot.

Exactly...on the average...I rarely turn on the Heat or AC from late October to late March. Windows open and shorts outside most of the "winter" months

I didn't make the original, umbrella statement.

Yeah...ok.

Ok...Ask away. I know the real differences...and where I am choosing to live.

If not for a miss play on a fly ball by Nelson Cruz...Ron Washington would have been a World Series winning manager.

I think we need one more thread on this subject...2 right next to each other is not enough

Bochy and Beltran as bench coach?

Big difference between the two

I don't think this will happen but man...I love the out-of-the-box thinking bringing in Iguchi.

There is a lot to consider. I just feel the White Sox may not be the number one destination for a highly sought after manager like they were in 2020.

Lets also remember the White Sox are not the only team looking for a manager. Rangers have a good farm system, a big wallet, new stadium....Just to name one team. How appealing are the White Sox to a veteran Manager who wants to win?

I don't think it eliminates Sandy Alomar, Jr....As he managed while Francona was out.

I would love to see Sandy Alomar, Jr get an interview

I've been saying...2004-2005. Trade or let go of the perceived "core" (Mags, Carlos, Loaiza...) and get more athletic, smarter, and deeper. But will they zero on the right guys like they did that off-season?

Also the 2000-2004 White Sox were not the 2005 White Sox, except for some pitching. The team had an overhaul. Losing Mags and Carlos Lee in one offseason. That would be like letting two of Jose, Yoan, Eloy, Luis or Vaughn go this offseason... Wait now...

Every team has a breaks to win it all. 2005, was lightning in a bottle...but it was dominant lightning by all metrics. If we were in New York or LA, they would be considered one of the best post-season teams of all time.

This is where we become the 2008-2013 White Sox again. Going "ALL IN" every off season in signing past their prime vets to stupid contracts in an attempt to band-aid gaping holes in the line-up and field. Development will get a back-seat and good prospects will get traded to bring in average players while we hover over .500 at every trade deadline. Rebuild will happen after JR leaves and new ownership takes over.
