Mainly because he was a DH and 1st baseman and the Sox have team full of them

I saw him drop a routine throw to 1st a couple days ago

Farce

Of course but he's probably started every game in LF against LHP too.

I doubt he wouldve taken a MILB contract 3 months ago.

Benintendi can sit more instead of being a fixture in LF every freaking day.

I wouldnt say he sucks. A guy has to get some ABs under his belt. Hes got a great arm , just needed some work on his fundamentals on defense. His bat has played anywhere hes been even though he had to be rusty when he first got to the states. AT the highest levels his lack of consistent AB's against high level pitching has been apparent.

What does this even mean ? Are you just piling on now to get a chuckle ? What should've been done that wasn't done the next day? Are you suggesting Kopech was supposed to pitch the day after he threw 2.0 innings ? He was unavailable, Leasure was unavailable, Brebbia was injured. Wlison was pitching in his second consecutive game and 4th in the last 6 and they luckily got a 7 pitch inning out of him . I'm just as upset as anyone that the team is filled with has beens and never was'. But they suck and their best relief pitchers weren't available. Things change from day to day, that's how pitching worksnot only in the starting rotation but also in the BP. Expect wins perhaps weekly.

Except that he never came close to actually being on the Chicago White Sox. I do remember reading he was distraught when he heard that he was traded.

Finally an honest fan who doesn't act like he knows everything and didn't put words in anyone's mouth. West Eddy is just saying it's pretty subjective and it's hard to argue either way when we basically know nothing and it's not like Getz was in charge very long . How many years was it and how many succeedes can you expect in that time frame and how does that compare to other teams ?Plus there's the whole definition of what should be counted as a success. There's just so many people involved in the scouting ,drafting and development of hundreds of players and then you have the biggest obstacle of all (JR) looming over everything that has always hurt the Sox development of any youths. I always bring up the Dominican Republic, the best Latin America country to get prospects in the last 50 years . Why is baseball filled with DR stars and the Sox have never had one ? It's all on JR because he refused to play the game in the DR that all the other clubs in MLB were playing. We'll never know if he was sincere about that the process being too shady or íf it was just another way to say I'm not spending money there. It still continues to this day. And there always reports about lack of personnel and equipment to keep up with the latest tech in all phases of the organization . For JR the all encompassing player development dept. is an easy area to cut funds that escapes the attention of the media and thus the fans.

JR would have to pay for Ellipses in the dugout and redesign the dugout so its not likely but it would be innovative.

I actually think that's a jab at JR. For anyone wanting Getz fired this quote might piss JR off enough to do it. Of course it would be after Getz contract runs out.

Maybe there shouldn't be a bench in the dugout just treadmills* and modern stationary bikes. *Treadmills may be too dangerous for some our players.

Ok .If that's the case it's not very independent thinking.Why be an echo chamber for Getz ?

Maybr it's supposed to be funny ? Some people just have strange internet personalities. It might be his way of protesting how much he despises the Sox now.🤷‍♂️
