ESPNChicago.com White Sox blog Baseball blog The latest news and notes on the White Sox. Blog But Cora had not heard from the Brewers as of early Thursday afternoon, according to a source. Former Mariners and Arizona Diamondbacks manager Bob Melvin is considered a favorite for the Brewers job, and he's also a candidate for the Chicago Cubs job, according to a source. Cora was a finalist for the Seattle Mariners job before the Mariners hired Don Wakamatsu in 2009.

ThunderBolt Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 I hope Cora gets his shot. He’s a bit more subdued then Ozzie and seems to have a nice approach to the game. I’d like to see someone like Ventura step into the clubhouse and take his place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin has never shown interest in working in baseball again. He has been asked before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Cora is the defense guy. The OFers continue to miss cut-off men. The defense wasn't so good until Vizquel played and calmed Ramirez down. I don't see how his leaving would hurt the White Sox. Good luck to him, I'm sure he wants to make out the line up card. Maybe the Sox could bring in Sandberg to be the bench coach just to piss off Cubs fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it works out for him, and Kudos to him for seeing his kids through school first. He's done some spring training activities with the Sox, but it's clear he doesn't want to commit that time quite yet. It still looks like he has the itch to come back.

nitetrain8601 Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Meh, count me in the group who thinks Cora isn't all that great. All in all, I think he ends up like a Jerry Manuel. Will have limited success, seems to know what he's doing, until faced with a little adversity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Oct 15, 2010 -> 04:30 PM) Can I ask why? Why not? He's obviously a good baseball guy if the Brews want to speak to him. Great suggestion of subbing Omar for Joey. I'd be OK with Omar playing 50 games next year as well, but please not as a starter.

I miss Ventura and would love to get him back in the organization, but i guess my desire for a continued early 90's White Sox coaching staff nostalgia trip only goes so far. He's a pretty good broadcaster whenever the College World Series rolls around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 If Joey gets job w/ Brewers, apparently Ryne Sandberg is a possibility for 3B. I am not a Cubs hater, but I think it would be hilarious if this happened. Cubs fans would throw a fit that Hendry drove Sandberg to us.
