That leaves the likes of a Buddy Bell, Class AAA Charlotte manager Joe McEwing or former Sox catcher Sandy Alomar Jr.
Well, since Alomar is the only ex-Sox currently coaching at the ML level, he gets the job by default.
Alomar is NOT the only ex-Sox player coaching in the majors.
Among the former White Sox players now coaching in the American League are:
Davey Martinez, bench coach of the Tampa Rays;
Scott Radinsky, bullpen coach of the Indians;
Tim Belcher, pitching coach of the Indians;
Jaime Navarro, pitching coach of the Mariners;
Joel Skinner, bench coach of the A's;
Gary Pettis, 1st base coach of the Rangers; former Mariners' manager
Don Wakamatsu is the bench coach for Toronto and former Royals' manager
Tony Pena, who played for the Sox in '97, is the Yankees' bench coach.
