Tenacious D Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Did you see the Ozzie Guillen interview on local White Sox programming where he said he couldn’t believe he lost out on the managerial job to the current guy. Definitely avoided taking the high road. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was shocked they brought him back after last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Hinch was Avila's choice, and the pieces all coming out around the time emphasized how well Grifol knew Avila for 30 years and how much Avila liked him, so I am taking that As Avila preferred Grifol. I don't think the stories of the time would say that in so many words, but Avila did have a relationship and kinship of country with Grifol that he didn't have with anyone else.

Every time there is a managerial opening, every candidate is talked about in glowing terms. The fact is Avila hired two managers over him.
