Donnie Ecker (Credit: John Hefti-USA TODAY Sports)While we swear the White Sox are trimming down the candidate pool for their open manager job, here are two more names who are still actively in the mix, as sources told me and Josh Nelson. Since then Ecker has been on the Rangers coaching staff, even being held over after Chris Woodward was fired and eventually replaced with Bruce Bochy. Lehmann has been the Dodgers bench coach for the past two seasons, after four years as their “game planning and communications coach” before that. That title sounds like someone starting to to sketch out a list of what a manager does, so surely it carried some relevant experience as well. Even if the Dodgers advance to the World Series, the break after the NLCS should give the White Sox an opening to make more contact than they’ve been able to so far.
