balfanman Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Did I miss something? Is Harold no longer with the team? I was looking through the White Sox MLB site and noticed that Harold Baines is no longer listed as a coach of anykind. I am on Soxtalk most days and I don't remember any mention of Harold being gone. Anyone able to shed any light on this? http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/team/coaches.jsp?c_id=cws Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donny Lucy's Avocado Farm Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Harold Baines is the assistant hitting coach, a position not listed on the Sox web site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 (edited) QUOTE (Jillian Michaels' Abs @ Dec 12, 2013 -> 11:42 AM) Harold Baines is the assistant hitting coach, a position not listed on the Sox web site. Why would Thome be listed? I heard an interview with Rick Hahn a couple of months ago and they were asking about Thome. Rick really was having a hard time answering exactly what he did, a lot of hemming and hawing, but did concede that Thome's title was special assistant to the GM. Maybe Jimbo is taking Harold's spot. They could probably have him just work home games. Edited December 12, 2013 by Dick Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I imagine it went down similar to Milton in Office Space. They kept moving Harold's locker closer to the exit until he was gone, but he was just too quiet and soft-spoken to say anything about it. He might still be in the parking lot thinking he has a job.

Donny Lucy's Avocado Farm Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Maybe it's a "work from home" position. Harold watching video of all of Adam Dunn's Ks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold watching video of all of Adam Dunn's Ks All he has to do is watch MLB Network. 90% of the time they are talking about a pitcher and they show footage of that pitcher, it includes video of Adam Dunn striking out. It is uncanny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
