ranger2004 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Before hiring Ventura there was talk of offering Paulie a player/manager position...so is this year a learning experience for him being.. able to sit back with Ventura in the dugout on days off?

ptatc Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 QUOTE (StRoostifer @ Jan 4, 2014 -> 10:11 AM) I still remember when Bevington walked to the mound to pull a starter, motioned for a reliever but he had forgotten to get a guy warmed up first. Good ole Terry. It was Robin who suggested that Foulke should go to the mound to warmup, while the real reliever quickly warmed up in the pen to come in the game.

That was my theory as well. It is a sort of on the job training, and seeing if he likes the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most horrifying thing ever. I was sitting out in RF before they had remodeled the stadium, and had a perfect angle to see right into the White Sox pen where no one was warming up. My "favorite" part was the bullpen coach standing in the door way with his arms in the air like "what the f*** are you pointing out here for, dumbass?"

I was listening to a teleconference with Paulie a couple of weeks ago. He has no interest in coaching or managing in the major leagues at least for several years.

My brother and I used to show up 2 hours early and split a case of MGD's in the parking lot so we were rather drunk before the game even started. I'm thinking this just might be why I didn't remember correctly. Damn beers getcha every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything good comes out of Konerko watching a lot of baseball this year from the bench, he'll probably know if he ever wants to manage someday.

If he's healthy I don't think he's going to be doing a lot of watching. He'll hate it and the team will hate it. I predict if he's getting as few at bats that many of you think he'll be getting, he'll retire at all star break IF team is out of the race already.

The Ultimate Champion Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Paulie is the "solid guy" type Let's say Kenny Williams is a big pothead, he and Rick Hahn are bong buddies, always getting stoned in new places, walking around Home Depot all baked looking for parts to make a new bong, etc. Paulie's like the friend since grade school, real solid guy, and when Kenny & Rick are having people over & smoking he's always there, smiling, sipping his drink, not really getting in on the bud at all, bumping fists though, etc. At the end of the day they're all friends, but I don't think Paulie really fits their mold, and I don't think he's going to anytime soon. Solid guy, loyal, everybody loves him, but I think there's a different agenda & soon he'll probably fly fly away and start a new life somewhere else. I think Paulie would rather be a groundskeeper than a coach or manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where do want to get a Baseball manager from? I assume you mean you don't want a former White Sox player making his managerial debut with the White Sox like Robin.
