Panerista Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 If only the manager mattered at all. Your GM and VP of baseball operations is incompetent and can't create a solid big league team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chetkincaid Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 Leave Grady Sizemore there. They’re not competing until JR croaks so you might as well let Sizemore gain some experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold's Leg Lift Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 Sizemore is going to interview just like everyone else. If he comes out of it as the best candidate, great. Like I said I just hope they hire a strong staff to help him thru some of his decision making struggles. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colome's Hat Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 I actually like Rickie Weeks a lot. The Brewers are sort of mentality monsters when it comes to the National League. When it comes to the business end of the season, they know how to put long sustained runs together. Would love for that to become a part of the White Sox culture. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel as though we are getting insight into a real misreading of who was responsible for the Brewers success. Agree though. Most wrote them off for dead and they more or less won the division by June.

JoeC Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 Just have a "manager by committee" structure. Keep Grady as the bench coach, but each player gets a 1-week rotation as the manager-of-the-week. After all, supreme executive power comes from the mandate of the masses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second half of this season they should have done something creative like that. Why not? None of the in-game managing stuff matters right now. Have Getz do the roster and let celebrity managers work with Grady on the day to day lineup, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
