southsider2k5 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 QUOTE (SoxAce @ Oct 3, 2011 -> 09:08 AM) I doubt its Fisk. From what I heard, the sox want a manager who is also fluent in speaking Spanish to help communicate with the latin players. Martinez, LaRussa, Alomar and Pena are all fluent in Spanish. Not sure if that is why Francona isn't high on the sox list, but it might go with it. Eh, you could also hire a bench coach who speaks Spanish too.

harfman77 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 If Alomar is the guy... Manager - Alomar Bench Coach - Alomar Sr. Hitting Coach - Baines First Base - McEwing or Ventura Third Base - Vizquel Pitching - Cooper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I want to see Omar as a coach on the big team. If anything he has shown that maybe he has a future working as minor league instructor after seeing the work he did with Alexei.

He wasnt happy with how he was handled, plus he still wants to play. Doesnt seem like a third base coach job is in his immediate future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He clearly doesn't think he's a starter, I reckon he thinks he's good for more at bats than he got, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could quit at any point as he doesn't need the job and he's known as a real prick. No fricking way Kenny goes the way of hiring a guy who could be a problem personality wise. My guess is Alomar or Pena. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont get exact info either, its very broad based on compiling different bits and pieces of information that flows through his/her hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickofypres Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Dave Martinez would be my first choice since it seems like Francona coming here is all but dead. Especially after Maddon praised him so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
