He’s sleeping at the table. Everybody be quiet. ?

Espada is probably going to end up in Miami and we’re going to end up with another retread or a former Sox player.

?

With JR, bargain bin shopping again but this time for a manager.

Hey atleast they have a seat at the table. That’s all that matters to them. Lol

Thought things were supposed to pick up this week….beginning of the week was busy but quiet since.

The game has evolved over time and the White Sox are an organization that didn’t evolve with the game. JR does things his own way.

They are going to overrule RH here. After he had mentioned in his presser that it’s a combined decision between him, KW and JR that was kind of a giveaway that they aren’t going to allow him to hire who he wants. You can also tell that he was kind of pissed off. I hope RH leaves and goes to an organization that will allow him some autonomy to do his job. Wouldn’t surprise me at all that JR has handicapped him this whole time so he couldn’t spend on any of the money on the top FA’s after the rebuild. He had no choice in the matter so he did what he could but obviously was going to fail because you need elite and premium talent to compete against the likes of the Yankees, Dodgers, Houston etc.

Don’t get me wrong, Thome is probably one of the nicest individuals you’ll ever meet if you ever have a chance to but he’s not ready yet to take over as manager. He needs to be a bench coach or hitting coach first. The Sox will spin this and say they hired a HOF manager but someone that is younger and that will relate to the players. This is how the organization does things.

@South Side Hit Men and whoever else is advocating that we aren’t going to see any changes to the organization right now is spot on. We are just being led on to think that it will happen under this ownership but it’s not going to happen until the organization is sold.

Sounds like it’s going to be Thome. Gaining some steam.

It’s because JR is too involved in the day to day operations and doesn’t allow Hahn to make the decision.

Oh Dear God, they are going to screw this up aren’t they? They need to hire someone for the manager position from outside the organization that will bring in fresh new ideas. Thome as the bench coach or the hitting coach would be good, but not the manager yet.

Gordon Beckham is not out of the running either.

They should hire Chris Getz as the manager and Gordon Beckham as the bench coach. Lol

The only thing that is giving me a little bit of hope is that they are actually conducting a search this time and not settling on someone so there is somewhat of a chance that they may get it right this time but I see where your coming from.

I can sense a Chris Getz supporter here. Lol

Now is not the time to hire someone with little or no experience as a coach or a manager.

Chris Getz being considered for the job is laughable. He hasn’t been a coach or a manager for any team before. Lol

Where are you seeing this?

They also need to add some elite WR’s that can run past team’s secondary’s so Fields can just throw it down the field for TD’s.
