Sockin Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) With so many national media guys mentioning Hinch I really think this is orchestrated to get people ready for them hiring him. Edited October 12, 2020 by Sockin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EloyJenkins Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I am not a fan of the past...but he truly is the best candidate to take them to the World Series in 2021. Damn. I have trashed the Astros and am gonna have to own up this going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirmin' for Yermin Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I'm all on Hinch. But, there are many good other candidates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtySox Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Sure sounds like it's going to be Hinch or Cora. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hi8is Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I will say this about Hinch... Out of all the Trashtros he was the only one that I saw as sincere in being contrite. He did seem to really be sorrowful and regretted not taking more leadership while being complicit. That said, he certainly was not completely honest. Of all the players and all the other Trashtros coaches and officials, Hinch was really the most repentant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do believe in second chances and feel Hinch deserves one. Cora, can’t get on board with. Think some of the players should have been banned for life too.

he gone. Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Thoughts: Keep your thoughts consistent. There's going to be a lot of posters who shit on hiring one of the three guys associated with the cheating, but if hired, will be big fans. Just keep it consistent. My thoughts are I'd take any of those three, but would prefer someone else. I don't much care about the cheating angle much, but would rather stay away from it. ** This also goes for George Springer.. either be for him or against. Don't be wishy washy if we sign Hinch & Springer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose Abreu Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Put me down as apparently the only person who would like this. He should absolutely be the hire. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron883 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 So some are ok with Dallas Keuchel but not Hinch? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almagest Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I'm sure Keuchel would vouch for Hinch. Maybe that gives us a leg up on Springer too? I guess I don't know how much Hinch had to do with the cheating - if he really just let it happen and tried to turn a blind eye I'm ok with that. Sometimes you need to learn harsh lessons.

If we have gotten to this point, and Hinch really is a candidate, I promise you that Dallas was a part of the process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure. If this was pre-cheating scandal I'd be incredibly pumped to turn into the Astros central. Let's just stay away from Cora and Beltran.

Maybe people aren't too familiar with the details of the scandal, but Hinch is the one who was bothered by the plan and even destroyed a monitor to discourage them from continuing. It was really Cora's operation. The only move I would be opposed to the Sox making for moral reasons would be if they wanted to acquire an Aroldis Chapman or Roberto Osuna. If you ask me, that kind of character issue is what teams should really be avoiding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 It is interesting what someone posted earlier that signing AJ Hinch probably ends any Bauer talk, and maybe the White Sox think that is just as well. As great as he has pitched, he does have his warts. Maybe the Sox don't want to touch him with a 10 foot pole. This gets them off the hook for being too cheap to give him hundreds of millions of dollars, and they upgrade the dugout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
