Joey Cora, who became one of the most popular Mariners during three-plus seasons in Seattle, is gaining increasing mention as a managerial candidate. His name has already been, and will continue to be, linked to the Mariners' job. Cora, 42, is in his fifth season as a White Sox coach under close friend Ozzie Guillen.

NOW that is REALLY interesting......I'm wondering why? I guess big H is out of the question!

August 21, 2008  07:10 AM ET

Probably it will be....another idiot.

August 21, 2008  07:39 AM ET

Good move on the M's part..........Cora was a stand up player and should/will be a good manager.........after all those years playing and coaching he has learned a lot like how not to act (see any Ozzie Guillen outburst)..........

Speaking of Idiots, Racer X strikes again. During Cora's stint with the Tribe he requested to be sent home after he was traded there at mid season because he was pouting. Tribe went to the post season. He's a ****!

Ha! I am not even a Tribe fan and I remember THAT! Just what the mariners need, a manager that is as whiney as it's players!

Umm... no. How 'bout concentrating on dumping those albatross contracts over the winter before even considering a managerial change?

Why do I get the feeling that the originator of this rumor is Ozzie Guillen?...

OOOH SNAP!

TRUTH 1 RACER X 0

Not only that he's all of what 5'6"? Players need a heftier coach yelling at them these days to aid in the intimidation, not players with a penchant for pouting.

An Ozzie disciple getting a manager job........should make things more interesting in the AL.
