I just got a text from the White Sox reminding me they are undefeated and letting me know Saturday would be a good time to get to the ballpark. I rip them plenty, but I thought this was really good, and if I didn't have something else going on, I probably would have done what they wanted.

Even the South Side....stand up, was warranted.

Connor McKnight is going to get Schriffen's job if there isn't a lot of improvement. They are getting him ready.

Jake Eder-KW's parting gift to White Sox fans. You can't even blame Getz for him.

Just win this one so we can experience first place for at least one day

I'd take Willis' contract for a bunch of guys who, while Miller became an awesome reliver a few years later, put up a combined 1.0 bWAR for the Marlins, if a 25 year old Miguel Cabrera was included.

Look at the draft he went #1. Will Smith was the best first rounder by far, he went 32. Cal Quantrill was/is rthe 2nd best in bWAR.

Miller was the #10 prospect in baseball. Yet your other post said he was a bad draft pick. Your batting average this thread might get you a spot in the White Sox line up. All these terrible GMS, yet they never were able to accomplish what Getz was able to accomplish in year 1. 121.

Funny you mention Andrew Miller. He was traded for Miguel Cabrera, another 1st ballot HOFer. jacob Turner got them a couple of players who had nice seasons as Tigers.

His prize for being bad was Justin Verlander. The Sox get the 10th pick. Nice plan.

name one. And lets face it, the 2020 playoff appearance was a farce. They expanded the playoffs that year, and at the time, 60 games into the season, the Sox were down to 2 starters. Anything resembling a real season, they were likely going to miss the playoffs. But it was a turnaround year.

it says something about both.

Ask yourself iis there another MLB team that would hire Chris Getz to be its GM? I think the answer is no. Maybe I'm way wrong, but I really doubt it.

Larry Himes built a team that won 94 games with the lowest payroll in baseball. He was fired after the season ended.

Drury will sign with someone, maybe even the White Sox after he heals.

I don't think there is one poster that has ever posted the White Sox being this bad has nothing to to with the previous regime. That would be insane, just as insane as it would be to say this is all on the previous regime, except for Chris Getz, who last i looked, happened to be part of said regime.

Wasn't the White Sox farm system ranked top 5 when Getz was in charge? How did that turn out? You can't separate it. Apparently a lot of people thought there was a lot of talent in the Sox system, and they weren't developed. Now, we are supposed to believe this clown will develop them? I really don't get your point.

What do you think, besides Seby Zavala, his successes were in his previous roles?

I agree with this. They will always be playing catch up instead of innovating.

I agree with this post.

Who could have predicted these injuries?

It will all boil down to getting better players. Hopefully these prospects are better players, but we were all fooled by that before. The guy calling the shots is the same guy "developing" Moncada and Kopech and Eloy and all the rest, albeit at the backend of their develpments, but we also have a couple of those as well. The Cease trade doesn't seem so great now. That can change, but Thorpe gets service time not to play. Hopefully the Crochet trade works out. Hopefully what they get for Robert actually can play. Hopefully being fired by the Orioles doesn't mean you aren't a hitting guru. To me the grade is incomplete, but if I had to give a real grade, it would be F+. Not a total fail as there still is some potential, but these guys have to perform. I still think he was the wrong man for the job.

That Boyer quote that many fans think what happens on the field is the most important thing really chaps my ass.

Injuries are going to happen. Before the White Sox are good again, there's a decent chance bigger names wind up under the knife. Hopefully they recover and become good MLB pitchers.

Competitive baseball players often develop painful bone spurs in the elbow. The spurs compromise ability to throw and is often treated with arthroscopic surgery to remove them. Most players experience an encouraging initial recovery with return to high level throwing. However, a large percentage of players will go on to develop symptomatic tears of their medial collateral ligament (MCL) and require Tommy John Surgery to continue throwing at a high level.
