Kalapse Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 FOX should put him in the booth immediately, he's going to be a great color man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Good career. Definitely made his mark in Sox history. He'll do great as a network analyst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be honest, AJ is who I wanted to succeed Hawk. He is a great personality and a great insight to the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they will, but I imagine they would wait until Hawk is gone. I don't think the two of them would mesh very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

he gone. Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I'd be interested in bringing him back in some capacity with the orignization. Whether that be as an announcer, as minor league coach, as a bench coach, etc. If it weren't for Ventura failing I'd really even be beating the drum for him as a chance as a future manager. But I think it'd be smart to let him learn the trade over a few years first. I think he'll thrive in his role with Fox though, should be interesting.

Heads22 Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Whenever Stoney is done, that can be AJ's. Could also dabble with a 3 man booth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
