The Chicago White Sox saw Robin Vent struggle as manager.
The Chicago White Sox’s hiring of Robin Ventura in the 2011 offseason was an exciting move for many fans.
While the team was coming off a rough year in which they went 79-83 and traded previous Ozzie Guillen to the Miami Marlins at the end of the season (Bleacher Report), there was no reason to believe this team couldn’t reach new heights with Ventura at the helm.
They were only a year removed from going 88-74 in 2010 and still had talented players like A.J. Pierzynski, Paul Konerko, Chris Sale, Jake Peavy, and Jose Quintana.
