Tiny, Baby Steps

The White Sox hired a new manager yesterday in the person of Will Venable, a nine-year major league veteran and Princeton graduate with a degree in anthropology. I’m guessing Mickey Mouse didn’t do his senior thesis comparing baseball in the U.S. and Japan. Right now, the only certain positive here is that the odds are Venable won’t be Mouse 2.0. What will he be? We’re about to find out. I’m guessing GM Chris Getz wants to keep pitching coach Ethan Katz. We’ll get a better sense of who Venable is and wants to be when the rest of the coaching staff is announced.
