Allsox Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Oct 6, 2011 -> 09:50 PM) Translation: "I was looking for a cheap yes man" Your theory's correct but Jesus Age Christ, when the hell did Robin EVER express any interest in managing? And wouldnt Dave Martinez have come at the same cheap price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsideirish71 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 He was one of my favorite players. This screams of ownership micro-managing more than anything. How is Robin qualified to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Has Robin Ventura coached anything? uh....oh..... is about all I can say about this move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Starting to process this....on the surface, this move sucks. 5pm conference call. Doubt it will be carried live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHITESOXRANDY Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 MDGonzales Mark Gonzales KW: “I wanted someone who met very specific criteria centered around his leadership abilities. Robin Ventura was that man. " He wanted THE Robin Ventura. Can he expected to be able to handle a bullpen? Or, does Cooper get a lot of control?

BigSqwert Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 He's got as much of a motivating personality as Harold Baines and similar experience managing as Dan Pasqua. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And wouldnt Dave Martinez have come at the same cheap price? I would assume Martinez would as well. Does Ventura have any credentials at all other than playing 3B for the White Sox? His bench coach will be interesting. I am guessing Buddy Bell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty34 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I don't dislike this. I'm biased though because I have a friend who has been around Ventura a bit and have heard countless stories about how great of a guy he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
