It is speculation at this point, but this would be fucking shitty as fuck.

Another Jerry Manuel

I dont want ex sox players managing. If there was one that I would even think about for more than 1 second that is ventura.........all these other fucks can take a hike

I dont care about the ex player aspect but Alomar Jr. seems a bit underwhelming. but he perfectly fits the Reinsdorf profile

**whitesox901** · 09-27-2011, 07:01 PM

Please no more former Sox players do anything. We don't need them to not be fired when they suck.

I can understand why some might not want Alomar as manager but I am absolutely shocked as to some of the hostility I've seen on this thread and other threads.

While with the Tribe he played with five division winners in a row (and in two world series). He was an excellent defensive catcher, a good hitter and a six time All-Star. Many think if he had not spent much of his career hampered by bad knees he might have made it to the HOF.

Alomar when he was with the Tribe was considered a clubhouse leader -- in a clubhouse that included such difficult players as Albert Belle, Manny Ramirez and Kenny Lofton.

During the years in Cleveland he was described numerous times by the media as "a student of the game" and "a future manager."

He will bring to any team he manages a good understanding of the game, an ability to effectively handle a pitching staff, an understanding of hitting and proven leadership skills.

When Cleveland fans were calling for Wedge's head many urged Alomar as a replacement.

Alomar just lost out on the Toronto job last year to John Farrell (another ex-Tribesman) and it is likely Alomar will be managing somewhere in the next three years. If Acta is ever axed while Alomar is still with the Tribe it is probable that Alomar will replace Acta.

^^^ Great post.

Alomar wouldn't be a bad choice at all. I hope, if he is hired, that he isn't a lame duck coach though, that wouldn't be fair to him at all.
