How can Getz and Barfield both be so bad at finding infielders
Harry Chappas replied to caulfield12's topic in Pale Hose Talk
They are both really bad at everything. I am openly rooting against Vargas and Fletcher at this point in hopes of a house cleaning yet again as a result. -
No it wasn't. It was needed but did nothing to improve the organization and actually, remarkably enough made it worse. Getz is as bad at his job as Pedro was, if not worse. Outside of Bannister any average fantasy baseball player could have made the moves he made. Not sure it's possible he could redo his work any more poorly than he already has.

Jerry doesn't own or control the building that is the ISFA. They will pay the $50K and have probably done so already. Maybe the teacher friends had a falling out.

For those keeping score at home Lip Man is a BR alum as well. -
Sox planning more playing time for Vargas/Fletcher
Harry Chappas replied to southsider2k5's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Same needs to happen for Colas unless he is just going to be gone one day. -
I detest the SCORE but I will say their scheduling of content blows away ESPN. Listening to the hosts on ESPN drone one with callers is worthless. Maybe it is the windows in which I listen but when the SCORE has any guest on it usually a good listen.

Schriffen says he was aiming at “Sportscasters”
Harry Chappas replied to Chick Mercedes's topic in Pale Hose Talk
As far as Proft goes. NO part of the city is safe. I don't know the solution to that but there are parts that are a literal war zone. i live in the safest part and 18 shots were exchanged at 6:45 in the morning earlier this summer, Speigs and Parkins are a good listen. I disliked their coverage of Clevenger but other than that I appreciate them. Bernstein takes the job too seriously and Rahimi sp? is trending that way. Her and Holmes would be a great show. With social media there is a lot of credible folks with credability issues. Too much smoke around Brooks on this issue for it to not be an issue. Schiffren is really bad at his job. -

Yes that was when that station lost all credibility. -
It's like when Virginia gets angry when the Bears lose to the Packers. Mom and Pop owners which both of these are take the money and run.

Heard a rumor that Pedro is gone this weekend. Makes sense with Getz quotes last couple days.
-
I believe someone pointed out that he was in the complex league and they are done so his season was done anyway. it does make for some new cannon fodder for this iffy trade.

Did Florida also send an intriguing arm and serviceable bat along with him?

So St Louis and the White Sox agree that Edman and Fedde match up so Getz goes out gets the Dodgers to pick up Edman's contract from St Louis and finds some prospects he likes with the Dodgers. Then St Louis says give us Pham as well....Getz says OK and then St Louis says give us some cash as well and Getz says OK. At that point I think St Louis just felt bad for Getz and ending asking for things. The Dodgers took a flyer on Edman and Kopech for those three guys. They have the luxury of doing that. If they thought highly of Vargas at all they would not have looked at Edman and then Rosario. I guess they did miss on the guy they traded to the cubs so who knows.

This bullpen is insane. -
There are no financial ramifications to this trade. If there are we need to just fold up shop. The financial side of this deal should have warranted a better return or hold on to the players as tanking is already complete and we do not benefit. This is a horseshit trade and you have to work really really really really really hard to view it otherwise.
-
That's the selling point on this deal for you....not that horrible production. None of those players traded needed to be moved as none were making any money. If you don't win the deal you hold on to them. Losing games is not an issue with those guys and there is no draft position in question they are squarely the worst team in the MLB. Getz seems like he would be over matched in a good fantasy baseball league. Someone in the JR family needs to take his keys away.
