The Cubs should be in a far better place than the Cubs are. That's what I'm saying. For what their resources are in the division they play in, they are clowns too.

They haven't spent any actual money yet and haven't been in on any of these big guys the last few years. But sure man, defend them if you want.

They've been talking about moving him long before any of this "going for it" stuff started.

Cubs are just as disgraceful as the Sox from a team running standpoint. They should be battling with the big boys and they are pulling this type of stuff?

You can not have faith in him, that's fine. But he is very much doing your first sentence.

He should learn to take a walk, then.

Aikman himself was pretty terrible. So was Josh Allen.

Him resigning himself after not even trying to build an O-line for 3 years would be so hilarious. If that's the case then get over yourself, man.

I don't know why I'm doing this to myself but here we go again.

The smart play is to hold onto him and hope he has a great an injury free first half. The problem is the guy has done nothing but let me down, so I don't know if I think it's possible.

He currently has two pitchers he is developing now that are even better left handed prospects than Crochet.

Did you watch the clip? He is saying it in a way that they protected him from long term problems. They dialed him back because it was best for him.

As a Sox fan, this is very hard to wrap my head around. Your players...playing?

I don't even understand them "going for it" (at least that's what people are telling me). I guess winning the division gets Jed to keep his job, but this team is, at best, an NLDS exit.

I'll give them Nick Nastrini.

He was never my friend.

Conforto already signed with the Dodgers.

There is no point in arguing about any of this because you are going to have to wait 2 years to see if Getz is a fraud or if he was being held back by the previous regime. Pace yourselves.

Decades? Calm down.

Maybe that's how Getz got Hahn out of his way and got the job with no search at all. Went to JR and told him I can do this for cheaper and here is how.

I remember people being really mad when he got moved and thinking Cleveland was going to turn him into a stud.

No. It really didn't.

I will always wonder (and we will know in a couple years) how "in charge" he was of the whole thing and what he was being told to emphasize. Time will tell.

Getz revamping everything makes me think he hated how things were ran when he didn't have complete control. I guess we will find out in the next couple years if his hands were tied by the previous regime or if he is just as bad or worse. For sure seems, at least from the hitting side, that he is getting guys who have a better understanding of the strike zone, and the two big pieces he just got supposedly hit the ball hard. I know that was a concern a lot of people had (him not worried about power).
