Hawk has always pulled for Carmen DeFalco. He subbed in once or twice a couple years back. I'd also love a return of Dave Wills.

 

It was a long time ago, but I remember JR got really pissed at Carmen about a question he asked him on the radio.

Dave is very happy in Tampa and I can't see him leaving. Never say never but the odds are pretty slim.

Matt Spiegel today hinted at the possibility of the White Sox hiring AJ Pierzynski. He said he couldn't really talk about it but said he'd heard rumors. I wonder if they would replace Steve Stone with AJ or just go with AJ/Hawk with Stone. Interesting.

I would LOVE this. A.J. is a fan favorite here and he's very knowledgeable about the game itself.

AJ probably could still make a couple million playing next year, but he is pretty good despite his claims that Kendres Morales is a threat to steal.

 

 

His plan is to play one more season if possible. According to Spiegel.

AJ has the personality to be really good at announcing. He has a lot in common with Hawk.

I want him to manage the Sox. He's the no-nonsense type of guy, a catcher (which seems to work out the best as they have to have a lot of knowledge), and a guy who'd demand respect of the players. Only problem I see is if the players undermine him and loses the clubhouse. Then could be a huge disaster...

The booth configuration gets a little confusing if AJ is brought into the mix, and Stone stays on. I can't imagine a scenario where AJ Pierzynski is a broadcaster for the Sox but NOT broadcasting with Hawk, after all of the "AJ is like a son to me!" stuff Hawk's been talking about all of these years. I also can't imagine Stone moving into a part time role where he only does home games so AJ could go on the road and be with Hawk. Would it be a three man booth on the road? And at home, is Stone the guy you want doing PBP for 81 games? He's not bad as a PBP, IMO, and maybe he'd help make AJ a top notch analyst, but after being an analyst his entire broadcast life, does Stoney want the PBP job at this point? Maybe - who knows. It'll be very interesting to see how it all works out, that's for sure!
