Milkman delivers Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 08:12 AM) 4 years for a pitching coach? Jesus, that is like a 10 year deal for a player. That just doesn't happen. I guess that shows what "people in baseball" actually think of the guy, no?

Steve9347 Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Don Cooper getting a 4 year extension is fantastic. He's been the ace up our sleeve for awhile, now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 06:38 PM) I can't see Harold anywhere else. I like Harold, but it sounds like we'll be getting a younger guy in at manager. We need a veteran bench coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it is just further proof that Kenny Williams is in over his head by signing such an obviously mediocre pitching coach to a long term deal.

Milkman delivers Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 08:52 AM) To me, the most exciting part is the hope that a new hitting coach will get some of our core players back on track. For someone like Beckham, next year has to be a make it or break it year and the hitting coach excuse can't be used anymore. Same goes for Dunn...if he struggles next year, he's going to be out of baseball. I'm not saying a hitting coach can save either of these guy's career...but it's worth a try. I hope the new guy wants to give Laker a chance, as he deserves it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 01:45 PM) I wonder if and when the Marlins and White Sox play interleague games, will Ozzie order his pitchers to plunk Done and Rios for getting him fired. That would be funny. Ozzie will tell everyone he's going to do so and then will fail to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buehrle>Wood Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Cooper, who hasn't managed in the Sox's system, will be assisted by first base coach Harold Baines. The decision means that Sox bench coach Joey Cora likely will join Guillen in Florida. Cora lives in South Florida in the offseason and has interviewed for several managerial positions.
