Bigsoxhurt35 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Well I'd certainly be ok with this. Hope one of ours chimes in if they got anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maggsmaggs Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I am surprised the Sox would be willing to hire someone like Alomar as bench coach. He paid his dues as an organizational coach before joining a Major League staff for the past few years. I was really hoping we would hire a guy straight from coaching high school baseball to an important position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) Maybe they can hire Dan Jennings, haha. Edited October 13, 2015 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSox13 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Always liked Alomar, not sure how he would be as a bench or potential future manager but I wouldn't complain if the Sox brought him on board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandy Alomar will probably be the next manager if Robin falters. I wouldn't be surprised to see Ibanez as the assistant hitting coach as well.

You would think so. But this is the white sox so I doubt it. I'm hoping a may 1st leash, tops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 It would be a good move for Alomar, and his best shot at managing. If the Sox fall out of it by June, Alomar would at least be a natural choice for an interim manager and have a few months to be evaluated.

Dick Allen Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 The Sun Times had an article last week with quotes from Sandy. He has talked to the White Sox but nothing is concrete. At least at the time, he wasn't sure he was #1 on their list and he also wasn't sure he wanted to leave the Tribe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonus points if he's somewhat surprised by the job offer because he'd never really considered managing at the Major League level at the time.

The White Sox aren't so cheap. KW just listed a house he bought a couple of years ago for $3.75 million. He bought it for $3.25 million, which, according to Crain's included a low interest loan from the White Sox for $2.15 million. Work for the Sox, Uncle Jerry might buy you a mansion.

Buehrle>Wood Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Funny though. Wasn't the rumor we fires Parent for sabotaging Ventura and wanting his job? I mean this move couldn't be more transparent for what it is. Be careful not to run into that problem again, not that I think Sandy would actually do that.

Mark Yet the articles said Ventura was fighting for Parent not to be fired. I think your source is full of it. It really makes no sense to purposely do your job poorly in order to get a promotion. This was a "firing" of convenience. Parent's contract was up, the other coaches all have another year to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
