GreatScott82 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 JR apparently doesn't accept his own failures anymore. His front office apparently enjoys spending 8+ years of failure attempting do the same thing over and over again. They refuse to admit the Robin hire was a terrible mistake nor take any responsibility for their own failures. Same coaching staff= same half assed lazy approach, means no long term plan, means more mid market signings and trades. Get ready for another horrible season in 2017.

caulfield12 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Or the Boston and Steverson as KW spies...between Cooper and the rest of them, the White Sox deserve their own John le Carre or Ian Fleming novel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 15, 2016 -> 10:55 AM) This might be the most intriguing post in the entire thread. Nice connection. McEwing took over the 3b coach job with Robin's first staff in 2012 after a couple years of managing at Winston-Salem and Charlotte for the org. Thigpen was a minor league pitching coach before coming up to the big league level. Is there some obvious reason I'm missing as to why this is different? Promotion from within seems like the norm, not the exception with this management. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Promotion from within seems like the norm, not the exception with this management. We're talking about the director of player development and the minor league pitching coordinator, two of the most important positions on the development side. I'd say that's pretty different than promoting a minor league manager or pitching coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see why you would say that is obviously the reason for the choices rather than "next guy up". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's interesting. I saw the coaching staff news last night drunk and was just pissed off because it seems like this organization is too complacent.

I was there during the 1959 World Series against the Dodgers. This ownership group needs to step up this off season and prove they are competent to bring a competitive team to White Sox fans. I'm waiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
