Who do you want as your next manager and who is available?

 

[Marko]

He definitely had to go if they want to win. Lol..

 

[Chet Donnelly]

I'd like to see AJ Hinch. He's a cheater, but I think he's a good manager.

Him being a cheater, doesnt that go against all your morals?
Cora would be decent, but also a cheater lol

I only hate on wife beaters. No other morals!

Also agree on Cora...wouldn't mind seeing him hired. Unsure about Ozzie. A lot of fans seem to want Ozzie....

I would 100% bring back Ozzie, I hated him as a Cub fan but respected him and think he is a good manager.

 

[Lead Pipe]

A more mature Ozzie might not be terrible. I also wouldn't mind stealing Sandy Alomar from the Indians. AJ Pierzynski would be an interesting choice but he has zero experience. I want Thome on the coaching staff though.

This would be perfect:
Manager: Ozzie
Bench Coach: AJ
Hitting coach: Thome

They say catchers always make good managers. Thome has always been a class act and always liked him as a player

 

[Lead Pipe]

AJ would also be a very "White Sox" pick and I think could do well. He's got a ton of fire and is a fan favorite. He'd be like an Ozzie that you could understand. I think with all the Latin kids on the team, they'll need a guy fluent in Spanish though. Sandy Alomar wouldn't upset me but the Indians would have to allow him to interview.

 

[Chet Donnelly]

I heard there is a rumor that if Ozzie gets the job Big Frank will be the bench coach. Would love to see AJ though, as that dude has a deep understanding of baseball....

 

[Shawn1112]

Per the Score, the team already informed Ozzie, that he isnt a candidate.
Also, you guys fired Coop? WTF is wrong with Hahn, guy is one of the best pitching coaches around.
Absolutely shocked by that move.

 

[Chet Donnelly]

Yeah, don't understand why they'd fire Don Cooper. Dude has been one of the best in the game for over 15 years...

 

[Lead Pipe]

Cooper was like Hawk. He did great things but his time has passed. With sabermetrics and data analyzation being the new way to make decisions, Coop was too stuck in his old school ways. That being said there was a huge influx of TJ surgeries with the Sox young pitchers in the last few years. Plus the only guy to really turn it around was Giolito and he did that with help from his HS or College coach, not Cooper. He has done a lot for the organization. He out lasted 4 managers but it's time to move on.

 

[GLADIATOR]

It’s gotta be some record to be fired by both teams of a major Sports city

 

[FESTER665]

 

[Shawn1112]

Would Tony come back to the SUX who fired him?

 

[Chet Donnelly]

Come on....La Rusa is almost 80 years old LOL!

 

[guspech750]

I’m more interested in who will be the new pitching coach.


I’d like to see a young whipper snapper like mark buehrle??? That would be great.

 

[VenomousDSG]

Hes retired..... never going to happen.

And Ozzie will never come back to Chicago.

 

[Lead Pipe]

Hahn already said Ozzie will not be considered. He also said they will be looking for a manager that has recently been with winning organization. Looks like Cora will be going back to Boston. My guess is AJ Hinch is their 1st choice.

 

[dberz94]

Adam Engel trying to fit in on the team

 

[Chet Donnelly]

Shit...I'd have taken Adam Engel as the DH over Edwin this year!

 

[Chet Donnelly]

Typical cubs fake news!!

 

[Chet Donnelly]

Sox fucking hired Larussa! I don't get the move at all, but at this point....Jerry better open his damn wallet and sign a stud pitcher or two!
