flavum Posted October 10, 2019 Author Share Posted October 10, 2019 Matheny seems to be a good bet for KC based on early reporting. Joe Maddon to Angels, of course. Mark DeRosa thinks Mark Kotsay to SF. I think Girardi gets Phillies or Mets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the Angels spent a gargantuan amount of money on an aging Albert Pujols, and they broke the bank for Mike Trout... how much "bigger" do they expect to spend? Putting all your eggs in one basket and signing one big name free agent is dumb... you don't win by doing that. In baseball, one player isn't going to change your fortunes. The Twins did it right. Once that Mauer contract came off the books, they took that money and brought in several players who turned them into a playoff team. The Nationals said goodbye to Bryce Harper and hello to the World Series. Coincidence? Maybe yes, maybe no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, which requires being able to target successfully Tier B/C players to supplement a young core. Whether Cron or Odorrizi (they were one year early on Lynn, but had right assessment...the late start killed him in 2018), Cruz or Schoop, Pineda (before PED's), Martin Perez or Marwin Gonzalez, they ended up with one solid contributor after another. We've gotten ONE over the last 3 cycles, McCann. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mqr Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 That's a White Sox ass move if I've ever seen one. Imagine hiring a guy who is like close personal friends with like 30% of your team to be their boss. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good news for them is it's not rocket science and there's always a chance he is good. I'd be too worried about guys not taking him that seriously though since they are friends with him.

Kyyle23 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Girardi is only is a former cub and from the area and also has won a World Series as both a player and manager that's all. Not really qualified like Ross 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man at least Robin had pedigree as a player. Ross has pedigree from Dancing with the Stars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what I was thinking...at least Robin was a great player for the Sox. Ross is one of the most overrated hyped up players ever to play baseball in this town. He is like a mythical creature because of his playoff home run, etc. It is like if the Sox would have hired Geoff Blum to manage the team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
