If Jerry continues to employ Getz, he better get used to issuing end of the season apology press releases. But at what point will it become too embarrassing for Jerry to do it over and over?
Oh wait, as long as Jerry is making a profit, he doesn’t care…
Getz has topped himself. His record setting team from last year was 12-28 at this point last season. This team is 11-29.
Getz is a 🤡.
A monkey could have put together a team with a better record right now than Getz.
Agreed. Perhaps a good move by Hahn in drafting him. That could be three starters in the current Sox lineup that came from Hahn instead of Getz — Sosa, Quero, and Elko. 🤣
Elko was already tearing the cover off the ball in the minors during the 2023 season. Getz was promoted to full GM at the end of the 2023 season so all of his changes/upgrades then took some time after that.
Perhaps Elko was just always a good hitter and this notion that Getz’s improvements made him better are bullshit?
Damn, I thought that elite speed and defense from Greg Jones would mean something. Guess not when you strikeout 30 times in 71 plate appearances at Charlotte.
Getz couldn’t identify a good hitter even if the cryogenically frozen head of Ted Williams thawed out and head-butted him.
