  1. We have two choices when this happens. We can shoot the messenger or the organization can look inward and do better. Who am I kidding? The White Sox shoot the messenger, and then have one of their minions write a puff piece.
  2. Yeah, this is the same organization that thought Andrew Vaughn could handle RF defensively, so I am going to need to actually see it happen first.
  3. When Chris Getz is gone and we are all told that everything was his fault, and now the FNGM can do no wrong.
  4. This is also a fun read. Then note is from 2020, where he is talking about the same kind of things they are today. Fancy machines to aid in analytics. Bringing in new people from the outside to prevent injuries. Next verse, same as the first. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/1566148/2020/01/28/what-the-white-soxs-next-stage-of-player-development-looks-like/
  5. It was previously posted that Getz had a large amount of freedom in his previous role.
  6. When he became GM of Montreal. But you have been going on an on about 2003 when he was GM of the Detroit Tigers, which was 15 YEARS after he had those previous eight years of experience. Again, nice twist of information there. Not to mention the fact that the White Sox most successful player development ERA was the late 80s and early 90s, instantly contrasting his performance with Chris Getz's demonstrating masterfully Getz's failing upwards, vs someone actually earning a promotion.
  7. But interestingly enough also wrong, or intentionally leaving parts out. He was an assistant GM for the White Sox before going to Montreal. But I do appreciate the move of the goalposts from his time with the Tigers to his time with Montreal.
  8. I think I made around 10 game threads last year, and never made a second one in a row. Let's see if my streak Getz ended tonight. Davis Martin vs Sean Newcomb
  9. This is totally Jerry trying to go after Xfinity for unfair business practices over their contract negotiations.
  10. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6265773/2025/04/10/cubs-white-sox-concessions-costs/?campaign=5888993&source=dailyemail&userId=6062851
  11. Jerry doesn't have to do so. Only the commissioner has that mandate.
  12. A guy like that would be a huge win. He was a data darling with a big arm and nothing else.
  13. Funny how many times I have been told there is nothing wrong in the areas that Lynn spoke of.
  14. Seeing how long Virgina McCaskey made it, I get this fear.
  15. Which is exactly what makes last year so important, and not some weird sort of inevitability.
  16. Hopefully the Sox aren't running themselves based on how long one of us may, or may not, live.
  17. A best case scenario of this kid being down in the minors giving away say even one extra win in these first dozen games so as to get an extra 150 games of control over the life of his White Sox control is worth it.
