Along with Cafardo's Cora contemplation (what's wrong with a retread?), Little Nicky has this gem:
1.
Tony La Russa said he’s done with managing but is seeking another advisory role with an organization. The obvious place is Boston. He and
Dave Dombrowski have forged a long relationship after both were hired at virtually the same time by White Sox executive
Roland Hemond in 1979. “There’s nobody in baseball I respect more than Dave Dombrowski,” La Russa said. La Russa spent this season in Arizona working with general manager
Mike Hazen and manager
Torey Lovullo. “I thoroughly enjoyed it,” said the Hall of Fame manager. “They were a quick study. I gave my evaluations of players I had signed and knew a lot about and they were very respectful of those opinions. I was with the team when they were home and then I’d go off to the minors to scout our team. It reached the point I didn’t feel they needed me anymore.” Dombrowski also had an affectionate response about La Russa, whom he respects as a friend and a baseball man. Dombrowski said, “We’ll see,” when asked if he would consider a job for La Russa in the Red Sox organization.
