Chisoxfn Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Warthogs Hire Levya as Manager By Jason Gage June 15, 2004 FutureSox.com The Chicago White Sox announced that Nick Levya will replace Ken Dominguez as manager of the Winston Salem Warthogs. Dominguez was 27-37 in his first season as the Warthogs' skipper. Nick Levya is in his fifth year in the White Sox organization and was a roving minor league infield instructor. Levya was named Appalachian League Manager of the Year in 2002 when he led the Bristol White Sox to a 43-25 record and the league championship. He has managed in the minors for a total of twelve seasons compiling a 633-555 record. Levya also managed the Philadelphia Phillies from 1989-1991. He was 148-189 during that time. Levya has been apart of three World Series as a coach and was the 3rd base coach for the Blue Jays when Joe Carter homered off Mitch Williams to win the 1993 World Series. Levya's name was discussed briefly as a possibility for the White Sox vacancy this offseason. Levya will be taking over a talented team that thus far has been the dissapointment of the Carolina league. The Warthogs have a potent offense lead by veteran Casey Rogowski and youngsters Brian Anderson, Ryan Sweeney, and now Thomas Brice. The Hogs' pitching staff has had its flaws, but will likely gain a little bit of help when Kannapolis promotes a starter or two. Sean Tracey has been the Warthogs ace this season, although Kenny Ray joined the rotation last week and flashed the signs of becoming a front line pitcher for the Warthogs.

dasox24 Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Good article! I think Levya will do a good job as the manager. Is there any word on who will be the manager at Bristol this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
