On one hand, I want him to do this correctly. On the other hand, it would be really fucking funny if he hired David Eckstein.

JR: Only Getz can do this quickly. Getz: The AL Central is winnable ~ 1 year later ~ Getz: Whoever said we could do this quickly???

I have never felt more like a player read one of my posts and was offended. My apologies (or not?), Mr. Gladney.

Anyway, let's take the guy in charge of developing that player and make him run the entire org.

But it sounded like he did it tongue in cheek?

Ok, props to Schriffen, that was funny.

Brebbia serves no role other than letting me down

He's gonna sound like the Kool-Aid man.

Save situation at the Coliseum. Don't lose hope boys.

Maybe this moves us one step closer to the DJ Gladney experiment ending. A .234 average in A+ doesn't instill confidence for a move to Birmingham.

1) Build a team focused on generating hits and playing sound, fundamental defense 2) Team can't do that 3) Ignore other aspects of baseball 4) ??? 5) Worst team in history

Every single member of baseball ops. Bannister understands computers, so he can stay. Organization needs a neutron purge.

Lmao

My dad was alive and was hoping that he'd one day see the team get better. Fortunately, he didn't see the trade deadline.

Here's a stat: Mark Teahen's career fWAR with the Sox (-1.4) is higher than all of the 2024 Chicago White Sox position players combined (-5.6)

So it was written, so it shall be. "Jerry, should we hire someone from a real org like your childhood Dodgers to bring us to the 21st century?" "Nah, Chris can teach kids how to suck at baseball just like he did."

I retroactively nominate this for worst Sox trade of all time. Tatis / Sosa simply took (chemically) enhanced superstars out of the Sox system. This trade gave a division rival the tools to destroy the entire system and major league roster.

And your boy is statistically the worst GM in baseball history.

Hostetler stopped being scouting director before the pandemic happened. Eventually you'll have to put the boogymen back in the closet.

Firing only KW/Hahn/Haber but leaving Getz and a lot of his cronies in place shows that this entire operation is wildly unserious. He couldn't train minor leaguers how to hit the ball. Wtf is he gonna do with major leaguers?

Wilson is such a stupid fucking acquisition that it keeps on giving. Meanwhile, oh look, Chris Getz once again turns to Rick Hahn's final prospects to salvage anything he can. If he was going to get fired regardless, it happened on the best possible way for Hahn.

"How to play baseball the right way." Is Paul Janish the second worst director of player development in White Sox history?

Rebuilding teams traditionally get as many players as possible while getting as much control as possible. Chris Getz somehow decided that approach is for nerds.
