Nah, shut up and in get the gratitude line for all of the great things they have done for us Sox fans the last few years. SHUT UP AND BE HAPPY RIGHT NOW!

And here is the same Chris Getz story from 2020. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/1566148/2020/01/28/what-the-white-soxs-next-stage-of-player-development-looks-like/

So while who takes credit for Garrett Crochet rages on these pages, the attempt to also simultaneously take absolutely zero credit for this position player record from the same staff is just astounding. You don't only get credit for the good things.

With nine figure contracts out there, if he is on cruise control after $6 million he is the dumbest mf on the block.

Some of it is random, but more and more I have become convinced that a decent amount of it is putting the right resources into the right things. There is a reason that gaps exist, and that they don't seem to change much year to year. Randomness would mean each team should cycle through good and bad times, and not see some stuck at the top, and others at the bottom. If things were getting better internally here, after a year and a half we should be seeing something.

If we got a top guy, plus a second tier guy from the Dodgers, it's a win. Outman is just a roster spot to open for LA, and a spot holding guy for the Sox. If we get one of the LAD top guys only, we missed out by not sending some cash to Cincy and getting two of their top position prospects as was discussed this off-season.

No scarier words for a pitcher at the lower levels than effectively wild. It would be amazing to have a few of these guys figure it out. You can't teach the big arm.

This is a full confession. Do better.

Even if they call up Elko, it won't be to release Vaughn. My guess would be a faux IL stint. Hell maybe he has been hurt for months anyway

You are in here calling people names over Jerry's stadium and selling the team. Have more self-awareness.

He's a placeholder.

Most of the excuses are weak to absurd. Andrew Vaughn was a consensus top 5 pick. All of the BS about who was drafting is a red herring for a complete development failure.

Well, it was a good run of game threads. RIP.

The Red Sox might be the only organization in baseball that s%*# talks their former players worse than the White Sox.

Great new swing and 20 pounds of muscle so far.

It was two of their top guys.

By retiring the first 14 batters of this game, this officially the best ever start to a game by Garrett Crochet.

If this is what the trade looks like, they absolutely boned it by not getting the two top Cincy guys and paying a bit of Robert's 25 number.

29 is not 30 Eddie.

No, it's Jake, from State Farm.

Hell any of them? The record of failure is crazy.

It just continues to amaze me how many top prospects and consensus 1st round picks have absolutely busted here, and we see no signs of improving so far.

Very Hahn-esque
