The Philadelphia Phillies could see a former player take a manager position.
currently have two former players leading teams as manager. Both Torey Lovullo and A.J. Hinch played for the Phillies at one point in their career. Now, they could see another one join that list. It wasThe White Sox have been an abject disaster this year, culminating in one of the worst teams in modern baseball history. They fired their manager, Pedro Grifol, in August and handed Sizemore the interim role.
Despite his poor record, Chicago's GM stated that Sizemore will be considered for the job going forward. Previously, he had said that candidates would be "in-uniform personnel from outside the org," said Rogers. It appears first year GM Chris Getz has changed his mind. He signed as a free agent in June of 2014 and went on to play 99 games in a Phillies uniform. After suffering injuries, and missing two full seasons because of injury, he was past his prime playing days. During his stint with Philadelphia, he slashed .250/.304/.354 with a .657 OPS, three home runs, 18 RBIs and an 83 OPS+, 17 points below league average.
