Managerial “Search”

Just hope they don't recycle Joe McEwing or Jose Oquendo from the ex-Cardinals list.

Can someone actually conceive of a White Sox identity and not simply adhere to the Cardinals' Way because you need your own organizational vision, something that's original and not derivative.

Except, this is exactly how Grifol sounded when he was hired. Said all the right things, sounded professional before he stepped into the dugout. Continually talked about being smart and well-prepared. He proved to be the exact opposite of that. Turned out to be one of the worst managers in the history of the team in just 2 years time.

Yeah the dichotomy between Grifol in the press conference and in the dugout is staggering.

As an easy to follow example he said he wanted to get Moncada’s walk rate up. Moncada immediately had the lowest walk rate of his career.

How the Hell does that happen?

I can conceive of a White Sox identity,  it's just not a good one.

LaRussa is part of the interview team so......

What smallest ounce of hope I had has now completely vanished. They’re doomed.
