Post subject:  The White Sox manager job is the worst option in baseball

1. Meddling owner - that's how we got here in the first place. Who is to say he won't meddle in this hiring process? Or with other dugout/front office decisions?

2. Frugal owner - Reinsdorf isn't A's or Pirates cheap but it's clear he won't go into the tax for additional resources for this team.

3. Bottom 3 farm system in baseball - The cupboard is bare

4. Bad contracts and lazy veterans - Dopes like Moncada and Grandal got their money and are checked out. No way to motivate these guys.

5. Unrealistic expectations - The next manager will be expected to have this team win 90+ games and win division, but for the reasons mentioned above, that probably won't be possible.

6. One of the worst stadium situations in baseball - I don't see them getting a new stadium built. The "Move to Florida" ploy might have worked in the late 80's, but with the way Illinois' economy is fucked, that simply won't work again.


Happy Friday!

Sox had the 7th highest payroll in the league last year, so scratch off #2. They’ll win 90+ next year so #5 is gone as well. #6 - Mike Gundy gif. Number 4 isn’t totally off base, but Yaz will be gone soon.

#1 should have included some shade for Williams/Hahn.

What player/players(s) are going to give them 9-10 more wins? Are they going to surprise and sign Judge?

I’m all in on Eloy playing 150 games next year. I feel pretty good about it.

Jerry is incredibly loyal. He would be a good owner to work for.

Probably true. Good post Bob.

No loyalty for the fan base however.

But sure, he’ll blow Paulie for handing him a baseball.

I think it's more likely he plays 15 games than 150, although there is some hope for him if he's the permanent DH.

Another Sox thread from Bob. I think he cares about the Sox than JERRY! does

Jerry is pissing himself like Biden now, so I don't know if he cares much at all

Precisely my point, you fucking genius. You care more about his team than he does! :lol:

Also, it always makes me laugh that Bob creates White Sox threads in the MLB section to try and avoid the "He posts a lot about the White Sox" post count wars.

I thought this was not just a Sox discussion but a baseball wide discussion, but feel free to move the content as you deem appropriate.

The last three threads Vaxxed Bob has started in this section are this one, "Covid Moncada" and "Jackie is the worst defensive SS"

But no, he doesn't care about the White Sox and isn't posting about the White Sox. :lol: :lol:

I want Ozzie just for the entertainment value of it, both here and on 670 the score.

I know Bob is trolling and that's fine. The white Sox organization has it's issues...no doubt. There are worse teams. Teams that never have payroll AND/OR a pretty lengthy history of being bad.
- Pittsburgh
- Texas
- Royals
- Diamondbacks
- Rockies
- Reds
- A's
- Marlins

That may be true, but other factors make the jobs still more attractive. For instance in Miami Mattlingly got 7 years the expectations were so low.

So jobs where expectations are low are more attractive. :lol:
