southsider2k5 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 CSNChi_Beatnik Brett Ballantini 1. Merk mentioned all the Sox fans who want Ryno in order to tweak Cubbies fans, which seems knuckleheaded. CSNChi_Beatnik Brett Ballantini 2. Ryno is a strong candidate, but his resume pretty well mirrors that of McEwing, who the White Sox already like a lot. CSNChi_Beatnik Brett Ballantini 3. No harm in talking to Ryno, but they have at least two candidates in Davey and Sandy who are coveted fits for White Sox. 4. KW is unlikely to be due diligencing the search to death. I have to imagine if it reaches the AAA manager level, McEwing would get job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 4, 2011 -> 09:44 PM) Making it to the dance and losing to the same team at home two years in a row doesn't normally make for happy fans. Me thinks there are some Maddon haters tonight in Florida. If anybody truly cares down there which is debatable. Rays lost a huge amount of there team last year and still make it back into the playoffs. Madd's is on a completely other level than one Ozzie Guillen.

nitetrain8601 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Apparently, the Red Sox are looking at bringing in a younger manager instead of a big name one. They are going to be going head to head for Dave Martinez and Sandy Alomar Jr with us. Hopefully Kenny doesn't mess around and is interviewing these guys as we speak. I could see Martinez going to Boston and that's who I really want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtySox Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 (edited) Dave Martinez, White Sox Top Choice But will he be a good manager? That’s what White Sox general manager Ken Williams intends to find out when he interviews the Tampa Bay Rays’ 47-year-old bench coach, which could happen in the next two days. The prevailing view in the Rays organization — and around the majors — is that Martinez is the primary target on Williams’ short list. ‘The feeling [inside the Rays] is that Martinez is the guy, outside of [Tony] La Russa — who is not a serious threat,’’ a major-league source said. Lending credence to that feeling is that Alomar, who keeps an offseason home in Chicago, has not been contacted by the Sox, according to another major-league source. ‘‘When they didn’t interview Alomar right away, that was a sign,’’ a source said. Martinez, who knows the interview process after going through it with the Toronto Blue Jays last year and the Cleveland Indians the year before, told the Sun-Times this week he’s ‘‘overwhelmed’’ he’s high on the Sox’ list, perhaps on top. He has received rave reviews from Rays manager Joe Maddon and has told people close to the Rays he’s thrilled about the possibility of returning to Chicago, where he played for the Sox in 1995-97. The feeling among baseball insiders is that Martinez has been at the top of Williams’ list for weeks. Edited October 6, 2011 by DirtySox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
