Good for Sandy. I wouldn't want to work under Ventura either.

Same crap Reinsdorf's front office goons sent a message to Coach Thibs. Get rid of "his guy" as a final warning before they launch you.

Shouldnt this be Robin talking to people and essentially offering someone the job that he wants....?

Or should Robin take Rosetta Stone lessons?

See the thing about Robin is that.....he is not good.

Frank I assume you like Robin, just not as a coach? He seems like a decent enough guy but is in over his head.

Yep. Loved him as a player. Frustrating as hell as a manager.

I figured. That is kind of my read on it too. The Sox have a lot of talent that just didn't perform up to snuff. I guess JORR would argue the manager doesn't matter. I don't know.

I still can't believe Kenny didn't let Rick Hahn launch Robin after the way this miserable ass season ended.

The Sox are an incredibly loyal organization. I think it's an admirable quality, but I agree Robin needs to find other employment.

Robin seems like he would be perfect in the "Blackhawks Style" ambassador role.

Yeah that needs to happen. He seems like a very nice guy, and they can probably find a cushy role for him.

Sandy Alomar Jr gets it.

Yep, he'd be a solid hire.

What is the Sox love for Ventura? I don't get it....

From ESPN.com

When Cleveland Indians first base coach Sandy Alomar declined the chance to become bench coach for the Chicago White Sox, he did so out of respect for White Sox manager Robin Ventura, Alomar told Terry Pluto of the Plain Dealer.

Ventura, who just finished his fourth year as skipper in Chicago, is believed to be on the hot seat following the team's third straight losing season. With that in mind, Alomar, whom the White Sox reached out to about their bench coach opening, said he felt taking the job could "cause a problem."

Alomar, an aspiring manager himself, spoke with Pluto about the situation:

"'I didn't want it to seem like I was coming in to replace Robin in case they stumbled out of the gate,' said Alomar. 'I like and respect Robin too much for that.' ... Alomar said there was some speculation in the Chicago media that [he] could take over for Ventura at some point. 'I want no hidden agendas,' he said. 'I'm also very happy with Cleveland. I didn't want anything to be unfair to Robin.'"
Pluto also reports that Alomar signed a two-year contract extension with the Indians. He can leave to become manager of another team if he gets an offer.

And he can still take the job mid-season next year if he wants.

no way they launch Robin in the middle of the year. If he starts the season as manager he will finish the year.

I think you're wrong about that. If they come out of the gate bad, he's gonna go. He got his break last season. He's not getting another one.

Jerry has launched plenty of his "boys", including Collins and LaRussa. If they start the season like last year Ventura is gone.

I just don't see it with Robin. 2005 softened Jerry.

They'll just have Robin "walk away."

It's a fait accompli. If they come out flat, making a shit load of errors, etc. he is toast.

He may "take one for the team" however and just resign.

2005.
