caulfield12 Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Would we really offer the GM job to Stone? Something needs to be done, but I would prefer to keep Williams over Guillen. Seriously, I would rather see DJ, Ventura, McDowell, Fisk or even Lance Johnson managing this team over Guillen at this point. I'd actually rather have Walker as the manager, too. Or Cooper. Just not Cora. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Hell no, get rid of Greg Walker from this organization. He's a failure at his job. It's about time someone is held responsible for this mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Apr 18, 2010 -> 01:23 PM) Beckham and Hudson were two guys whom Bell oversaw the development of. I suspect Danks will be the first true example. Bells loves him. I'm not going to give Bell credit for Beckham. He was very advanced and a top of the line prospect when the Sox drafted him. The key for Sox minor leagues isn't Bell, its bringing in talent that can be developed, something that has been severely lacking. Bell thinks highley of Oney Guillen. Just ask Oney.

caulfield12 Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Apr 18, 2010 -> 12:23 PM) Tony Pena is too good to be wasted as a long man, wsox need to drop Randy already and call up Torres. Deck chairs and lifeboats, meet the Titanic. The irony is that we had a perfectly serviceable long innings guy in Carrasco, and spent that money on Vizquel/Kotsay/Pierre/Teahen instead. Well, that's about ITEM 13 or 14 on the offseason complaint list I guess. But it created yet another problem in our bullpen, the lack of a long guy/innings eater.

We let Carrasco go, so he could be a starter. Now.... he's the long-man for the Pirates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

earthshiner Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 say what you want about Williams but overall his tenure as GM has been one of the best decades in white sox history. 3 playoff appearances and a world series.

She started with the White Sox earlier in her administrative career. But it's a dream world to think she'll get the job...maybe we're another 5-10 years b4 that happens, the first female GM. I would say Bobby Valentine, but I really don't like him that much. I always liked Torborg, though... MINNESOTA up 2-0 on the Twins and threatening for more. Hello 6 games back. It's just too bad there's no possible way for us to have an announced attendance under 10,000 with our season ticket base, but the actual will be in that area for the Mariners.

The team wasn't even .500 and they gave Ozzie even more power determining the roster this year. Whatever the reason for this is flawed. It could be KW just let him, which would be on him, or it could be JR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
