Mr. Showtime Posted October 10, 2002 Share Posted October 10, 2002 From the SunTimes: Mike Scioscia as manager of the White Sox? It could have happened, former Dodgers general manager Fred Claire says. In the mid-'90s, Sox general manager Ron Schueler called to ask permission to talk to Scioscia. It was fine with Claire, but Scioscia declined because he felt he needed more seasoning as an instructor and minor-league manager. "It was typical of Mike to have a plan to get the experience he felt he needed before taking a job, even though his goal was to manage at the major-league level,'' Claire said Tuesday. "I felt he would and should be manager of the Dodgers one day.'' The irony is that after managing in the Dodgers' minor-league organization, Scioscia was let go and now finds himself managing the Angels in the American League Championship Series. Everybody knows where we can find the White Sox, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Showtime Posted October 10, 2002 Author Share Posted October 10, 2002 Well if this was the mid 90's I'd say it was before he hired "I was saying fair, and he was saying foul". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MurcieOne Posted October 10, 2002 Share Posted October 10, 2002 Since when is Scioscia such a great manager?? He's had 1 winning season with a great team! I wouldn't put him in the class of: Baker,Piniella,Cox,and La Russa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted October 10, 2002 Share Posted October 10, 2002 Yes I would. Imo, Scioscia is one of the next true managers. His players love him, he's agressive and he manages the game the way i would. He tells his hitters the hell with the homer go for the contact and he preached that this entire off-season and now they don't strikeout, and because of that they can all move guys around.

Only then will he be classed with the above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
