My white sux question is will Renteria have the same role he did with the cubs until the sox hire a big name, like Girardi or Scioscia

FTFY
It could happen, but I'm pretty much fine with Renteria.

The whole Koplesh promote is over rated. Sox had cheatcode with Sale and that didn’t make them a play off contender.
Until they have Cease and Eloy on the team it is just something to talk about.
Looking at MBC sports chi they are making it out to be the 2nd coming. They already had the best pitcher in the AL and it didn’t guarantee anything.
I just see them promoting Eloy in Sept to get free service time then delay him to screw him more.
Honestly I thought Hanson would have been a strong #2 but he seems to have taken a step back.
Lopez also has a solid ceiling and I kinda expect the same results from most of the arms promoting. Good numbers poor results.
In general the Sox have stock piled arms and like the Mets some will work and others will not. But as long as the train keeps pushing hot arms up it works.

It's what they do best, produce pitchers, however this time around they have the offensive specs as well which should make a dramatic difference in results this time around.

He's got 2-3 years left. Not worried.
Yes very little right now. Most of the players are still in the minors. No one is worried about it.

They had talent before. They just had more payroll attached to it.
If Lopez and Rondon take the next step and Kopech eases in next year into the ace role. At that point they need to fill the 4/5 with f/a to be semi competitive. If they decide to keep it cheep then it is waiting for Cease etc to pan.
Goleta etc are sub par pitchers. They might be decent 2 inning arms but I really don’t care enough to accually look deeper into it. Rather cut loss and sign proven bets around the core and play meaning ful games again myself.
That way arm’s like Cease force decisions vs are your salvation.
I’m partial to the Cubs methodology honestly and it is a good model. Anything less is just being cheap
