Chicago White Sox hitting coach Greg Walker close to a return
Many teams in Major League Baseball (MLB) are entering a phase of restructuring where rosters and team operations are being evaluated for considerations in improving the current conditions of the existing body that is prevailing in 2010.
The season ended recently with the San Francisco Giants clinching the World Series title by beating the Texas Rangers in just 5 games.
Now with the off season in play, the ball clubs from both the American League and the National League are looking towards improving themselves for the coming of 2011. Spring training is set to start in 3 months and life will get very tough for teams if focus
isn’t diverted towards the organization and Franchise.
The free agents’ market is buzzing with activity and with over 160 players in a homeless free zone, there is ample opportunity for ball clubs to acquire the right pack of stars and incorporate them within the system. Nevertheless, the weaker teams can look
to call up minor league replacement players, who can better manage the low cost measures and perform ably on the pitch.
The Chicago White Sox are looking for the players and the right staff members to sustain the 40 man roster that is prevailing in the first team squad. The coaches are a big strength of the team and one hitting coach, Greg Walker, is as important to the club
as its foundation. The veteran is still thinking of a return and it seems he will come back to the team in the near future.
Walker had a phone conversation with MLB where he issued his praise for Alexei Ramirez and shifted the focus off himself when he was asked about his intentions for 2011. He said, "I would rather that not be the story. I'm just happy for Alexei", Walker added.
"It's really fun to watch him".
Walker seems content with his role and praised his job recently when he said, “Ultimately, I appreciate my job very much, but the main reason I do this is to pass this game down the line, pass along any knowledge to help the players. My biggest goal is for
each individual to max out”.
On his coaching ability, Greg shared, "Very seldom does it happen on any team for everyone to max out, but you want every player to have a great year. We've worked hard. In some cases, you give more, and in some cases, you give less, whatever a player needs
to help his game”.
