Dominikk85 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 I don't think he is so bad, at least he is at an age where he likely isn't senile and while he hasn't managed at the big league level he has minor league management and a lot of other pro baseball experience. We don't know if he is better than renteria but at least there is no worry he is forgetting to fill out the lineup card:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Sox Park Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 At this point i'm just glad that LaRussa is gone, and that it's not Guillén . wonder how different things might have been, if Grifol had started the 2022 season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Side Fireworks Man Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 13 minutes ago, SoCalChiSox said: I agree with everything except the last part. I'm not sure Grifol was Hahns preferred choice. I bet it was Quatraro. I suspect "budget" issues also factored in and Grifol was perhaps the most acceptable choice who wouldn't balk at being lowballed. That doesn't make him the guy RH wanted, though. Could be "budget" issues as you said. Maybe the other highly touted candidates expected to be paid more than JR was willing. Another issue may have been that the other candidates wanted to pick their own coaches (as they should) but Grifol agreed to keep any coaches the Sox wanted to retain. JR can't bet letting his guys go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 That's great news on Montoyo. SHould ease some of the analytics concerns (before blue jays was in Rays system). Like Fredi Gonzalez, I hope Montoyo gets another shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the reference to him failing as a hitting coach was an interesting tidbit. Fire Frank and being in someone with a proven track record and it won't be a big deal, but something to follow.

I don't know if he'll be a good manager or not, but I'm pretty sure if he started the 2022 season as their manager, the Sox would have probably won the Division then lost in the first round of the playoffs.

While in the abstract, getting a C+ on a midterm is nothing to write home about, it can be if you're a D student. I think grading a managerial hire immediately, with the exception of very obvious F's ie TLR or Ozzie, is basically impossible Edited November 1, 2022 by mqr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
