1. The Buddy Biancalana Hit Counter Posted: December 03, 2011 at 01:52 PM (#4005663)who is frank white?
He is a much better announcer in that respect than Jerry Remy, or Ken Singleton, or Mark Grace or Don Sutton or Orel or Bobby V, all of whom I listen too fairly frequently. Heck, he's much better than anyone in the division - Blyleven, Farmer/Hawk (I like Stone), Rod Allen (who is all kinds of awful) - with the possible exception of Cleveland - I never listen to them.
I have to agree with, "He has a grating voice" though. Almost all of the guys listed above have a better voice/delivery than Frank.
I think Mellinger really nails it in his column. Frank badly wants to manage the Royals. He really hasn't put in the time - he managed in the minors for three years when the Royals asked him to manage for five, he was an assistant coach for the Red Sox and Royals, but never stuck around for more than a few seasons - but he thinks his playing career entitles him to a short cut. He also looks around and sees other people who haven't really put in their dues - George Brett in the front office (and nearly handed a managerial job in Colorado), Robin Ventura given a job with no managerial experience - and it rubs him the wrong way.
Zach - I think Frank would take a managerial job elsewhere, but probably feels led to believe the Royals were his best shot. Any Red Sox fans remember him as a coach in Boston? Was he regarded well at all?
