You know, I was happy that he finally got a managing job.

It's a role that he's deserved for a long time now.

So I think he's going to thrive in this position.

And I think it's going to be just fun times for everyone out there in Chicago on the south side.

All right.

That's former Kansas City Royal Eric Hosmer talking about paid rook or full,

a man that he respects and a man he credits for helping him become the All-Star

and the World Series champion he became.

And Eric Hosmer is our guest on this edition of the White Sox Talk

podcast brought to you by WinTrust. Hey everybody, it's Chuck Garfine. And if you're wondering

what people inside the game, but outside Chicago are thinking about the White Sox hiring

of Pedro, or fall, well, you've come to the right

place because Eric Hosmer gives us an inside look at what Pedro meant to him as a hitter,

as a player, even as a person, and what he meant to Salvador Perez as a catching coach.

And he's going to explain why he believes Grifold was long overdue to become a major league manager.

And why, as he put it, fun times are coming to the south side.

So it's Eric Hosmer, not with the Red Sox, giving praise to the south side. So it's Eric Hosmer.

Not with the Red Sox, but giving praise to the White Sox for hiring Pedro Grifold.

That is coming up next.
