  1. Technically this is a network hire, but since the teams own the network...
  2. This. Plus, why? He is going to see more contact at the major league level, and he will have the leagues worst defense behind him. What are we going to learn from that? What is he going to learn from that? There is nothing wrong with him spending a few more months in Birmingham with a club that is actually good, and letting him experience some winning and quality teammates. He will have plenty of time in Chicago, assuming he can handle it.
  3. The Blackhawks basically just fired and replaced their PbP guy today. That isn't going to help out John one bit.
  4. People say stuff like this, but essentially no one is turning this job down, especially someone still climbing the ladder like Getz. This might be his only shot at the big time, of course he is taking it, even if the prospects are awful. Guys like Theo Epstein? Sure they could turn down a job. Guys like Chris Getz? Not going to happen.
  5. It kind of makes sense. If the Sox weren't going to spend on top end offense, or top end starting pitching, you might as well try to build a pen that could run 5 to 6 inning game instead of needing starters to go 6-7 to avoid your crappy middle relief. Of course today the Sox have neither starters, nor a pen who can hold a lead, so big progress on that front.
