Chicago White Sox Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Renteria would be a very strong hire if this indeed happens. Thank you Nationals for f***ing up the Bud Black hire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSoxFanMike Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Bleh. Wasn't this guy the Cubs manager a year or two ago? He's better than Mark Parent by default, but it don't see how he's a huge improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just nice to have a guy with experience if/when our manager gets canned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how the Sox could do much better, especially considering Robin's lame duck status. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigHurt3515 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I don't think he would have have been fired if it wasn't for Maddon becoming available. Right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigsoxhurt35 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 (edited) I'm on board. Now we need to be aggressive this offseason again. "It’s possible the hiring of a former Cubs manager turns out to be the most flamboyant move the Sox make."

GreenSox Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Nov 8, 2015 -> 10:50 PM) I'm on board. Now we need to be aggressive this offseason again. Hopefully aggressive in building the organization and bringing in young talent. Like we were in 2013. Hopefully not aggressive in bringing in"proven veterans" which failed miserably last year. Renteria did a good job with the Cubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fairly certain they dont want to repeat the strategy in 2013 again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winninguglyin83 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 olt, turner, renteria. Quite a trail of Cubs' cast offs. Who's next -- Corey Patterson? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harfman77 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 So they got at least their third choice behind Alomar and Acta? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGajewski18 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Dan Hayes @CSNHayes 54s55 seconds ago Also, no announcements today on #WhiteSox coaching staff even though it appears Rick Renteria is close to being named bench coach.

Bigsoxhurt35 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Ok so I'm guessing they're working out contractual things. Crossing Is dotting Ts especially with Robin and the rest of the staff on one year deals (?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quin Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 He was doing a good job with the Cubs. It's just that Maddon was made available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just that Maddon was made available. here is my question, i do not know nothing of Renteria. but is he really a good coach??? does anyone think he is a mentor for RV while on the bench to teach him the finer points of the game?? can he be the next manager after RV??

Maybe someone can find a counterexample, but if a manager gets fired, it's pretty rare for a member of his coaching staff to get the promotion. If the manager resigns/retires, maybe, but not fired.
