Sandy Alomar articulates awkwardness of White Sox bench coach search

Cleveland first-base coach removes himself from consideration out of respect for Robin Ventura's precarious position

Sandy Alomar appeared to be the perfect bench coach for the Chicago White Sox, so it came as a surprise that his candidacy was the first of the rumored names to be crossed off the list.

"I didn't want it to seem like I was coming in to replace Robin in case they stumbled out of the gate," said Alomar. "I like and respect Robin too much for that."

Maybe the White Sox would not turn to Alomar if they decide to replace Ventura, but Alomar seems destined to eventually manage a team.
