    Fair enough, but there seems to be a weird implication that their coaching across levels wasn't good enough, or wasn't communicating consistent enough. Well, Getz did not overhaul that staff. The turnover was no different than any other year.

    He didn't have enough power to dictate coaches, stop judging him.

    He still doesn't, for some reason, despite being the sole decision maker.

    Out of all of the Sox s%*# big contracts, Benintendi might be the worst of them all. At least Dunn hit HRs every now and then. At least Keuchel had a good pandemic season. At least Danks was good for the Sox before he got paid and his arm fell off. He has gone from barely useful in his first year to completely useless in his 2nd and there's still 3+ years left. 

    Dunn is easily the best hitter in this lineup.

    And he did have that All-Star season!

    I just don't believe baseball stupid is it. Marcus Semien appeared baseball stupid here. 

    Omar Narvaez was considered baseball stupid and a terrible defensive catcher, only to have the brewers and mariners work to turn him into a defensive plus catcher before his offense cratered. He's another great example of needing way better offense than expected to stick, but the team doing nothing to make them more well rounded, just ditching them.

    I could definitely buy that the Cardinals scout for defense much better than the white sox. But then I also see how they reacted with horror at how bad Jordan Walker was at defense last year in the outfield, and put a full court press on to improve it and he did. He is capable of it because he's young and a good athlete, and no I don't think the cardinals could turn Gavin Sheets into that.

    But for all the rest of the guys ... the white sox think that you develop by playing a lot of ball games. But that thesis has failed man. That's not enough, especially when you have so rid yourself of any players who know how to do it differently.

    Sorry - Jimmy rollins came in and the damn house of cards nearly fell apart.

    Lol

    Jimmy Rollins really did come in and go "perhaps a child taking grounders when we need to work on things is a waste of time" and it unleashed Armageddon

    You mean any “qualified” candidate.  Chris Getz was just a guy taking a big promotion he wasn’t worth of.  It probably didn’t matter to him if he was going to have a $50 million dollar payroll restriction.  Like you said, he kissed the ring and got promoted to a position that no other team would have given him.

    Legitimately wondering if any organization (other than the Royals) would hire Getz for any role.

    Sox are 25th in defensive WAR

    Looking at the individuals, Maldonado, Benintendi and Vaughn are the worst full-time offenders. Fletcher's over-matched in CF, while he's adequate in RF. DeJong and Lopez are the team leaders. While Sheets is in negative territory at 1B, he's way better than Vaughn. 

    Maldonado was brought in for his defense.

    Fletcher was making similar gaffes in RF. Was also touted for defense.

    Shitty defensive team is shitty.

    A bunch of DFA candidates, just like I told you during Spring Training when you were getting excited about Nicky Lopez hitting well.  Meanwhile, you were busy hyping up the rotation including guys like Soroka and Flexen as trade candidates because they had one or two good seasons like 3 to 5 years ago before injuries ruined them, all the while arguing with anyone who logically disagreed with you.

    Everyone knows that good teams sign guys like Clevinger, Pham or Grossman after spring training (or just as it's ending) with expectations that they will be major contributors.
