I'm not sold on any manager, for any team, being worth 20 wins. I'm also not sold on our next manager having significant impact on player development. The rest of the organization will have their thumbprint all over whose on the roster and how much they play. We will get someone with little (Grady) or no MLB managing experience. They will be learning on the job and "growing" with the team. They will also be fired to appease the fans after two or three seasons. With little experience, and tiny pay, they are vulnerable and will do whatever Getz and Co. "suggest" to them. The coaching staff, of which they will have little or no say in the hiring will have a greater impact. For better (hopefully) or worse (likely) this will be Getz's fantasy team playing for real.

It's not what they can afford, it's the total jobs they bring and how much that economic development is worth to the area they move to.

Every major business is looking for, and receiving something, for relocating. Just look at the bidding for Amazon and Tesla locations. I think most of us agree that it's easier to justify public dollars going to Amazon or Tesla.

But poetically just use three

And with these teams, leave the ????? in the handle. 😂

It's been a few years but I found a third party app for my phone that have me that functionality.

I was in the electronics industry. $50 for a black box.

College teams are more professional.

I'm gearing up to watch the Pale Hose I think Nellie is going to have a great season. Where my fedora? I kid because I care(tm)

Until some random unknown outside of his family person gets named manager, what are you clicking on? It's fat bear week at https://explore.org/fat-bear-week? Like game threads, someone start one tomorrow.

I thought it was OTA you idiot lol

😂 I think we need to bring back the I'm drunk thread.

At least we could make a nice list of candidates that turned down the Sox

We won't get anyone we want (tm)

The hairs versus squares

Except they overplayed him.

Didn't the A's back in the early 70s have a bunch of guys who didn't get along and claimed it helped them to win? If Liam is on one side of a disagreement and Lynn is on the other, I don't have to know what the argument is about to know what side I'd support.

You forget we're talking about the Sox. 😜

Now imagine if the team had a minimum total salary they needed to hit. These guys would be getting raises.

To add to this line of reasoning This arguably should be his first or second year at the MLB level. He's possibly behind the developmental curve and could catch up. Still I think I want another team's Andrew Vaughn. I have too much scar tissue from watching this one.

And lied about for a couple decades until he decide a different strategy might work.

He's another example of a guy that was rushed to the majors plus being forced to play out of position. It's no wonder his stats are what they are. He would have spent a couple years getting ready in a quality organization.

He'll be on RR's staff.
