If the Sox fire Ricky, who do you think the Sox can get?

My first target would be Sandy Alomar, Jr. He was only in CLE for an interim role and got the most he possibly could out of that lineup. I'd hire him in a heartbeat.

Whoever Hahn goes with is great. He's Midas.

Bring back Ozzie or give Alomar a shot.

Coop needs to be launched too.

Alomar would be Ricky R., Jr.

Too mild of a personality.

Cora is the perfect balance of fire and deep thinker-ness (word?). Plus, he also speaks Espanol.

That, and he won a fucking Championship here already and would have the Ozz-eroo on speed dial.

Its too perfect.

I don't think it's a fire and passion issue. I think it's a shitty strategy issue.

Alomar has proven he knows what the fuck he's doing considering his work with Cleveland this year.

Also, speaks Espanol.

The thing is, they could probably get Ozzie back on a minimum deal.

Almost any warm body will do.

I don’t know enough about bench coaches around the league. I suppose I’d be fine with a guy like Cora but I’m too focused on the blood lust stage at this point to read up on anybody.

We all know the are not going to go with an experienced manager. So in this order:

AJ Pierzynski
Omar Vizquel
Sandy Alomar Jr.

They could have had Vizquel, they let him leave the organization.

Joey Cora would be my choice.

Why? He was a coach on the Houston team that cheated. He brought the cheating with him to Boston.
You know, it's not coincidence that knowing pitches that are coming leads to success. Therefore, who knows whether he can manage or not.

Cora would be a total crapshoot.

You’re thinking of Alex Cora.

But either way, yes, it’ll be a crapshoot. Joey should be more of a known commodity to Hahn but you still never know. I’d take Alomar, Vizquel, et al. - just get rid of Ricky.

That guy Jirschle has won manager of the year and seems to be rising through their minor leagues. Does he speak Spanish? I think that is pretty important with this group of players.

Since he turned manager, Jirschele has helped groom some of baseball's brightest young stars like Luis Robert, who's currently the third best prospect in all of baseball and is likely to make the big league roster out of Spring Training.
