Chicago White Sox

Probably part of the reason he still gets playing time, but Sheets is no longer hitting RHP…he’s not even a platoon bat at this point. Him and Vaughn at -0.8 and -0.6 fWAR and still out there most days should be a fireable offense for Getz. How is there not some AAAA bat you could roll the dice instead? f***, I’d rather see Mark Payton’s 32 year old ass out there. I just don’t even get the strategy of wasting endless playing time on two dudes who have proven they aren’t major leaguers.

Vaughn and Sheets should both be gone. At this point they are zero dimensional players as they have proven they can’t hit major league pitching. The easiest path to improving the lineup is having actual hitters at 1B / DH.

I don’t think it’s Jerry as we have traded in the division before and we just traded DeJong to the Royals. This reeks of Getz thinking he can win a “weak” AL Central in 2025 with a couple moves and some added youth.

I don’t see why his market would be that much better in the offseason though. I think you got to hold until the next deadline.

So is this core lineup next year? 1B: Vaughn 2B: Sosa SS: Baldwin* 3B: Vargas LF: Benintendi* CF: Robert RF: Fletcher* DH: Sheets* CA: Quero#

Bob confirmed we were never going to trade Fedde within the division unless completely overwhelmed. Getz is simply not a competent decision maker and we are not a serious franchise.

Per Bob:

I think if Jerry has any integrity, he has to fire Getz at the end of the season and hire a GM from outside the organization. He can’t wait another year or the damage may prove crippling for the franchise.

Nastrini just missed BA’s Top 100 to start the season and his been horrible since. Eder wasn’t very good last year.

So when is he rumored to be getting fired?

It’s just amazingly stupid.

100% Sizemore. Might as well and throw a total wild card in there and see what happens.

Getz took a 100 loss team and somehow made it the worst in modern baseball history. Any semi-conscious owner would fire this clown at the end of the season, but alas this is just year one of a 10 journey with Getzy assuming Jerry lives that long.

He seems like kind of a dick

It was pathetic under Getz as director and still is as GM. Unfortunately, survival of the fittest is not a sound development strategy.

???

I pray to the gods you are Jerry’s accountant or something…

Benintendi is such a fucking bum

Nicky?

Not a great debut for Vargas…lol

He actually said this?

Pedro: We’re going to control the strike zone on both sides of the plate

Oh good…Justin Anderson warming in the pen

What was that fucking call!!!

Would be nice if Ellard could come in and give us a clean inning. Looks like he may be a bit too amped up for that though.
