The reason Tauchman and Slater likely were never going to be great acquisitions is due to their age. They are prone to frequent and nagging injuries, but this is also why they were cheap (under $2 million each). However, signing two vets to one-year deals has nothing to do with the future of the team or building around speed. Getz might sign a guy in a wheelchair if he was cheap enough and could still hit.

Robert is going to get hot once the temps get to above 100 degrees.

He really made this worse with the 30 seconds of dead air, rather than apologizing for the accident immediately. That made is so much more awkward.

And Clemens went on to pitch 11 more seasons and was an All-Star 6 more times. Haha.

On pace for 51 wins. Does Getz get votes for GM of the year for a 10 win improvement from last year?

Absolutely obsessed with left-handed hitters. Right-handed hitters were da debil.

This. The last known interest was over the winter with the Reds being the interested team. Should have taken whatever single top prospect (perhaps two?) they were offering and kicked in cash. It probably didn’t happen because either Getz wanted more or he couldn’t get Jerry to throw in cash. Either way, it was an utter fail of a strategy.

And Sox fans everywhere wonder — why?

Agreed. Heights make me sick. However, this is the same guy that gets equally anxious and excited about bad White Sox baseball, so it’s not as impressive coming from Schriffen. 🤣

Imagine defending JR. I wonder if he ever realized his stupid he was for doing that.

Agreed. The way he talks about Hahn, Rick is the anti-Christ and Getz had zero pull or fault while being both the director of player development and the assistant GM for years.

The problem is that they are all in on it — the CPS teacher with rolls that shot herself with her own carry piece and was quickly escorted out of the park (that also doesn’t live in Chicago, yet is teaching at a CPS; ain’t gonna lose that pension), the CPD by order of the mayor due to the female teacher being friends with the mayor, and Jerry Reinsdorf. The magic bullet theory is absolutely ridiculous. Regardless, the truth will never come out for obvious reasons. My buddy has a friend in the CPD that told him this right after it happened.

This is what actually makes me believe he truly does work for the White Sox. AnAlYtIcS!!!

@Lip Man 1, your writing and historical/factual information on the White Sox is always appreciated. Don’t worry about what others say. Ironically, we just had a recent White Sox player Clint Frazier along with AJ Pierzynksi share stories about how dysfunctional the White Sox organization is. Their first-hand stories as actual Sox players stretched from 2006 all the way to 2023. Those stories provided by two players “in the know” trump any random Sox fan’s statements. For anyone to argue your point is pure hilarity. Someone is definitely incompetent but it isn’t you…

True. It is crazy how his OPS fluctuates .100 points from .775 to .675. I do think he is legit though.

Can that be about it for Noda? Why the F would Getz acquire a 29-year old 1B in a rebuilding year to replace an even younger bust? Meidroth’s slump is also disconcerting. Meanwhile, Benintendi getting hot but no one will take on his contract.

Schriffen…

Wait a minute… Do you mean that old vet players like Tauchman and Slater that continue to have injury issues may not be the new market inefficiency that I was told it is? I seem to remember saying all of this, but a certain poster disagreed with me… What am I missing?

Getz’s White Sox are now on pace for 50 wins, after rounding up…

More like NUKED out of existence. Even your hilarious trolling isn’t this bad. Makes me yearn for you to bring your talents back to the South Side.

Getz 4 Unemployment, but I wouldn’t even want taxpayers to pay for that.

Dude, get a clue. Slater for $2 million was a part of Getz’s genius new strategy — the new market inefficiency — giving millions to old, bad vets. Nevermind that Slater can’t even hit lefties now, which is supposed to be his speciality. But I seem to remember a poster on this site claiming victory when both Slater and Tauchman had good stats after not even 100 at bats combined and numerous missed games due to injuries. Tauchman’s bogus small sample size OPS is dropping faster than The Rate’s logo. Another waste of $2 million. $4 million wasted on two old bums that won’t return jack s%*# in trades when the Sox could have and should have been playing any and all young players they have or could have acquired. OLD and BAD will never be any sort of new market inefficiency… PERIOD. But… Getz4Life!!!

Stick with what you know as a GM. Acquire bums like yourself.

I would put a $1000 dollars on you being correct. AJP’s Brian Anderson threat story was just as embarrassing. WTF is wrong with this org?
