bmags Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Tired of larussa talk so lets do it. Pros: Good name, I could see it working I like "Rising Star" as a thing Cons: No experience Stanford - annoying alumni, but maybe this is a pro as they are less annoying than michigan (sorry @Brian ) His name's pun potential more often denotes bad things so maybe we'll put it in the bad column too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I'd rather have Jurshele or someone with MLB dugout experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted October 20, 2020 Author Share Posted October 20, 2020 I'd be happy with this. It's the baldelli route and that's fine and good. I'd rather sox have a system where manager responsibilities are more distributed than the superstar manager route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maloney.adam Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 (edited) I think this is one of those options that Hahn was talking about that they will keep an open mind about. The Sox are just exploring the market until they can interview the candidates they are really serious about.

maloney.adam Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 (edited) Oh can I guess, Bob Nightengale is going to pick up on the story and run with it for a couple days but than we will not hear anything about it anymore. ?

Y2Jimmy0 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I’m hoping that Fuld is AJ Hinch’s bench coach. That would be tremendous. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok now I can see that happening and would like that a lot but Fuld as a manager to start out. Ehhh I don’t know about that especially with having no experience. It’s like with AJP, he would be better starting off as a bench coach before manager. Edited October 20, 2020 by maloney.adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted October 20, 2020 Author Share Posted October 20, 2020 For the record Fuld has interviewed for quite a few manager positions last few years so it’s not out of nowhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capital G Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 As a Rays fan (live in TPA but Sox will always be my #1 team) I remember him in the OF. Hopefully he does not teach Robert to superman every fly ball lol Jokes aside I would love to have him as a bench coach and up and comer.

I think we've started to overemphasize this hire too much. I'd rather see white sox re-imagine the manager role than lean back on the 2010 era. Hinch/Cora/Quatraro are the inbetween there and the ideal but hinch cora have baggggage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
