Man who wants to be in charge of farm system and man who wants to manage the team.

To reiterate from another thread

Wes Kath had a baller day though. Maybe, just maybe, Chris Getz's new farm director will teach him how to hit.

Not really a great day in the org

Getz meant to send Popeye to AAA, but selected the Sox since Charlotte and Chicago are close on a drop down menu.

C'mon Lee

I sat here for five minutes trying to figure out who the f*** Rodriguez was. I hope Jason and Stone get the memo about Popeye.

SoxMachine is moving to Nashville!? In all seriousness, I jest. FutureSox and the whole squad running it is awesome.

O' slider sliding value.

Same.

Until every last player acquired by Rick Hahn is out of the organization, we're gonna hear the excuse for both Getz and Pedro, "well they didn't acquire those players."

After finally listening to Jerry's part, he was talking about Chris' qualifications and said something along the lines of "A few years ago we made a quiet change. We weren't like our draft picks, so we got rid of the guy making them. Then hired a new guy and we love those picks." Basically just shitting on Hostetler, who is still employed by the team as far as I'm aware, to prop up Getz. If Shirley was a Getz decision (and somehow not KW/Hahn?), it was a good one, but it was hysterical to listen to.

I'm still 100% against AJ as a manager (because I don't want a rookie manager getting the job due to being a White Sox hero), but if he were on a coaching staff or coaching one of the minor league teams, I'd be behind it. I'm afraid he'd go insane because he'd be the only self-aware person in the room.

In case no one has posted this AJ clip yet. He misses some details on players — Sheets was a 2nd rounder (who wasn't even in the on-site camp in 2020!) and Crochet was never in the minor leagues — but god damn does he nail it with Getz' record + the Omar Vizquel situation. Also, mentioning Gavin Sheets. Isn't it a massive indictment that two of the minor leaguers that improved their stock the most in 2020 (Sheets, Burger) were ones that weren't at the on-site camp and took their development into their own hands? Yes, Burger was finally returning from injury, but he still wasn't invited to the on-site camp. But I'm sure Getz had to have some input on who to bring.

Dude knew how to sell bullshit.

Chris Getz is the baseball definition of failing upward.

Good thing the person in charge of the whole org is the guy who was just in charge of developing talent

I couldn't watch, but just going off snippets from here, Twitter and Reddit, I only have one takeaway:

He's basically there to eat innings

That's why I included player development. I feel like Eloy and Moncada are monsters on like, the Rays and Dodgers. The rest of the extensions worked out.

Mario Camilletti and Rikuu Nishida

Hahn was good at selling and locking up talented players with extensions. Bad at buying, free agents and player development. Unfortunately, these are all crucial parts of making those first two succeed.

Man, what if Brent Lillibridge had won the second base job?
