Buehrle>Wood Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 QUOTE (flavum @ Oct 2, 2015 -> 12:24 PM) Merkin floating the name Raul Ibanez as a possibility. So a guy with no coaching experience who can come in and be their friend? We got enough of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 And you guys thought their wouldn't be changes. A new scoreboard AND a new bench coach? It is practically Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got enough of that. I read it as a veteran bench coach with managerial experience and a Spanish Speaking coach. Maybe Ibanez comes on as a Base Coach and they hire someone like Manny Acta to be the bench coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthSideSox72 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I'll throw in a name: Julio Vinas --Current AA Birmingham Barons manager (3 years) --Was up with the MLB club in September last year for a bit --Vibe around him in the org has always been positive --He is US-born, but of Latin descent - I believe he speaks Spanish, though I don't see any documentation of that anywhere --Former White Sox prospect from long ago I'd be he's on the short list.

That would make a ton of sense. Part of me is also wondering if this is an attempt to slide a replacement manager in to the team in the case they do want to fire Robin next year. Who we hire may well answer that quesiton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swingandalongonetoleft Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 QUOTE (Scott Merkin's tweet @ Oct 2, 2015 -> 11:53 AM) Heard the White Sox are looking for a Latin American coach but also looking for a bench coach potentially with prior managerial experience It'll be like a scaled-down version of the power structure in the FO with the GMs. The one positive in this is that while it pretty much means Robin is back, they recognize that he's not really getting the job done. Best case scenario, this is a last straw kind of move. I mentioned Jose Valentin in another thread- he would even meet the "former Sox" criteria that doesn't officially exist but pretty much does.

That would make sense since he's in-house, and the rest of the staff is only under contract for a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good point. If the team gets off to another lousy start they may not have any choice with Ventura. Another key point is going to be how this team looks / plays in spring training...especially the last 10 days of it. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never ends up being true. I think Robin should go. But he won't. Fans will show up less often probably too, but no one is just turning it off entirely because they kept the manager.

In fact, they cannot afford to put fans in this position. I became resigned that they would not fire Robin several months ago, so at the moment, I'm not too upset...but goodness, get your stuff together, guys.

greg775 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Not trying to start a fight, just defend myself and Ozzie. So the Sox fire Parent with a weekend to go of meaningless games. I guess Hahn quit on the team by removing somebody before all games were played. Uh ... this is meaningless just like Ozzie leaving with a week to go meant NOTHING. Both teams sucked beyond belief and it mattered not. I don't know why Robin would want to stay BTW. This team is going to suck again next year. Why does he want to manage bad hitting and defensive players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's hilarious about this post is that as soon as I read the thread, I knew you would post something comparing the Parent situation to Ozzie. I wish I could have gotten odds.

Well I haven't watched this team since shortly after the trade deadline. Robin sucks. Unless they go out and make some gigantic moves I really won't watch. I can do other things than watch a s***ty baseball team that hasn't been to the playoffs in 7 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
