lol even Merk is joining in on the fun

Something something budget something something saddled with bad prospects something something it's not his fault

Yeah - the annoying part is they did have those prospects. Moncada was coming off bad debut, but still had hype. Eloy had hype, and everyone bought into the Robert hype. But Tatis obviously makes everything better. Or just signing Machado/Harper. Or both, cause they could have. Jerry being a cheap fucker is how this was doomed to fail.

Lmao no he didn't. Tatis was a highly ranked prospect, while the Sox had a cabinet of highly ranked prospect. He signed with them because the Sox were trying to haggle him on a contract and then San Diego was like "$300M guaranteed" so he signed with them.

Tray would filibuster the debates about a new stadium for months on end, never leaving the podium.

Pedro is so. fucking. stupid.

While is AA --> AAA adjustment period wasn't as long as it was the prior levels, Sosa's MO was always: Move up a level, struggle hard, figure it out and start crushing. Pedro's coaching sucks, so he basically gets called up and never gets to work his way out of the struggle step. Then he goes down.

Getz would have taken Joe Alt at #1 and JJ McCarthy at #9

he knew

It was destiny once Rome said his favorite player was Hester

All roads (should) lead to ROme

Penix!

Someone pls take McCarthy

Unleash the Chappy

Yeah, Eloy and Moncada were hurt last year, so they should be a net zero. Losing Cease hurts, obviously. And Robert. But Getz decided to keep the med staff (and a lot of minor league coaches). But Chris "Baseball Man" Getz completely overturned the pitching staff from OD last year (Kopech and Clevinger aside) and they're hot garbage. I fail to see why Brebbia deserved $4M (I know someone is about to blabber about Hahn, but tough s%*#, he shouldn't make the same mistakes), Maldonado getting $4M, or his other worthless pack-the-roster moves. He's burning cash on dog s%*#, like Hahn did, dumping prospects for dogshit, and didn't improve in defense like he boasted he would. And if he takes until next year to make a change, then there was truly no point to hire him over an actual baseball executive. He also decided to get a 29-year-old reliever for Cease. If Wilson isn't dominant, then they missed out on getting something else in the Cease trade.
