WhiteSox2023

Like I said, the White Sox are the trading post/whore house for the Red Sox.

Most players that are forced to sign with the lowly White Sox are probably crying on the inside at the very least.

You already know how cheap Jerry is. We had both Cease and Crochet at the same time, yet the team still wasn’t good enough to win anything. Perhaps the Sox will be good once their young players develop, but by then do you think Jerry would have paid both Cease and Crochet their going rate in free agency? As much as I am not a fan of Getz, trading Cease and Crochet was all on Jerry, not Getz.

It’s a shame Getz didn’t just trade Kopech for Albertus and Perez and dealt Fedde in a separate deal.

No on Wilson. He has at least shown some history of success. Yes on Leasure. But neither one throws enough strikes. They both walk the world.

His 2021 and 2022 seasons say that you are full of s%*#. The Dodgers thought he was a commodity.

Sorry, I had Getz’s previous job title wrong. He was the director of player development.

Leone didn’t exactly having recent signs of much success in his prior two seasons.

Meanwhile, the Giants are out there DFA’ing better players than the White Sox have on their roster… “Giants designated C/OF Blake Sabol for assignment. The move is necessary after the Giants signed Justin Verlander and needed room on the 40-man roster. Sabol, 27, should see interest on the waiver wire as a player who can play in the outfield as well as catch, so it wouldn’t be a surprise if he was claimed or if the Giants were able to work out a trade for the backup backstop.”

Bwahahaha, he sucks but at least that garbage makes me laugh. This one cracked me up…

Why did the former Director of Player Personnel and Assistant GM have such a collection of schlubs to begin with?

Yeah, it’s a shame that Getz didn’t help develop more players in his previous role so the cupboard wouldn’t be as barren as it was when he was gifted the role of GM by Jerry.

41-121. Enough said.

Oh yes, sorry, I’m sure he meant that anyone who praises Getz is gay. Either idea is just plain stupid.

Yet none of those players were actually around for the WS team. Cameron had been traded for Konerko six freaking years earlier. Lee was traded for Scottie Pods in the offseason. It was just a series of moves that all panned out for one season. There was no rebuild. If there was a rebuild, the team shouldn’t have fallen apart after just one more season.

Are you completely clueless as to modern lingo? I’m not 70 yet but I am pretty sure I understood what he was getting at. No GM that just set a record for futility should be fluffed and stroked as much as Getz is by some. Oh wait, I’m being homophobic and calling people who like Getz gay! 🤣

If you think that was a homophobic comment or that @southsider2k5 was calling Getz a homosexual, you need to get out more.

@chitownsportsfan already explained this in his previous post. The Sox were an 80+ win team for years before 2005. They made some trades and acquisitions that led to the perfect storm of everyone playing well for that one year. Teams make acquisitions every year. That doesn’t mean it was a rebuild.

Facts in your own mind perhaps… No one but you could look at that 2005 Sox roster and say it was the result of a rebuild… https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/CHW/2005.shtml

A very key point to note.

I’m still laughing that the 2005 White Sox World Series was the result of a rebuild that started in the 1990’s. 🤣 I always thought it was a combination of acquisitions that all surprisingly panned out in a pretty flukish season.

You think NFL head coaches are proficient with technology? They have assistants that take care of all that stuff.

The release posted above says he will be there.

Because NFL coaches are home-based workers?
