It’s time to see what David Ross and Rick Renteria really have to offer

OK, let’s see what you’ve got.

That’s the subtext to almost everything that’s being said or written about David Ross and Rick Renteria these days.

With Ross, it sounds like a challenge: Show us how it’s possible for a man with no managing or coaching experience to go from very popular big-league catcher to “Dancing with the Stars” competitor to Joe Maddon’s replacement as Cubs skipper in a matter of four years.

With Renteria, it looks like a wall of doubt: Now that the White Sox’ rebuild has given you proven veterans to go with talented young players, show us how you’re not going to blow this.
