White Sox do not renew contract of bench coach Tim Raines CHICAGO -- The Chicago White Sox announced that the contract of bench coach Tim Raines will not be renewed for the 2007 season. Manager Ozzie Guillen will conduct the search for Raines' replacement. Raines originally was hired by the White Sox on November 11, 2004. He served as first base coach for the 2005 World Series Champions before shifting to bench coach for the 2006 season. The rest of the White Sox coaching staff will return intact in 2007: manager Ozzie Guillen, first base coach Harold Baines and third base coach Joey Cora return for their fourth seasons; pitching coach Don Cooper is back for his fifth full season; hitting coach Greg Walker starts his fourth full season; bullpen coach Art Kusnyer starts his 11th season; and bullpen catcher Man Soo Lee is back for his eighth season with the Sox.

Felix Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Wasn't this known before the season started? I mean, isn't that why he went to the bench this year rather than stay at first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, I could be misremembering things. I'd dig up the thread, but I'm far too lazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 It was pretty obvious when everyone on the staff got an extension but Raines. I wonder what he did or didn't do that pissed the White Sox off. I think Shines should be on the staff. Daryl Boston is a KW buddy, so he has a shot, but if its to be a bench coach if it isn't Shines I'd like to see someone like Jeff Torborg get the job.

ShoeLessRob Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 "Sandy Alomar Jr., the knowledgeable veteran catcher who just finished his third stint with the White Sox, also has been mentioned as a possible bench coach candidate. But Alomar expressed a desire at the end of the season to continue his playing career in 2007." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, I could be misremembering things. I'd dig up the thread, but I'm far too lazy. That's what I recall from during the season. I'm glad the Harold will be back he's my all time favorite White Sox. However I am deeply saddened that Tim Raines is leaving us, he was another of my favorites. I would like to see Robin Ventura come on as a coach, it might be a long shot but it would be nice.

Kalapse Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 The last thing Ozzie needs is a rookie bench coach by his side, that ship has sailed. Ozzie has proven that he does not have what it takes to be a competent in game manager so what he really needs is a grizzled old vet by his side on the bench who can get in his ear in tough managerial situations and keep him from totally f***ing it up. The sad thing is I'm basically describing Joe Nossek, it's a damn shame he felt the need to retire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh, I just had to f*** up your argument, but I agree. It's not really f***ing it up. I as well as others believe Ozzie sucked at in game managing since he's gotten here which includes '05 he just had a once in a lifetime starting rotation and bullpen to make up for a lot of his f***ups.

DBAHO Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Yeah it's quite important to get an experienced guy in there next to Ozzie who can actually help him manage the situations in the game like the bullpen e.g don't use a lefty just because there's a lefty hitting etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baines3 Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 I am starting to think Tim Raines might not have gotten along with KW. Or perhaps he said something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Why isn't Cora getting fired? He's FAR worse than Raines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santo=dorf Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 IIRC, Steff said Rock was more focused on watching his son play, which is why he wasn't going to sign an extension with the Sox. That was way back in the offseason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baines3 Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 It will be interesting to see who Ozzie chooses as his bench coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
