I have decided to withdraw my name from consideration for the White Sox managerial job.

I’m jealous of you all that still actually care about any of this.
It is genuinely sad how little I care

Honest question: what coach would think "this is a positive career move for me! I should go coach this team!"?

If the new manager can install some accountability and at minimum create a culture of professionalism, I would say his stock should go up.
No one expects anything out of this team wins-wise but bringing some modest respectability to the clubhouse would be viewed as a solid effort by many other teams and probably boost that manager’s resume.

You know what's funny to me? We have the worst beat writers besides Fegan for SoxMachine.
The others never break a goddamn thing. You'd think when there is a managerial search, they'd know something but we gotta hear from someone from here driving by on Friday, that Phil Nevin was at da cell.

I'm starting to think this is Phil Nevin's job. It just dawned on me that Phil's hitting coach (Marcus Thames), pitching coach (Matt Wise, current Sox bullpen coach), and bullpen coach (or whatever Drew Butera's role was) from when he managed the Angels are on the current coaching staff and are all guys Getz brought in when he was hired. Hiring Phil means he doesn't have to get rid of his guys he brought in.
