Know what’s crazy? All those guys would still be with the Orioles if only Elias got another quality starter.

With this guy being in charge of the Brewers daily game planning, it hammers home something that Getz and Fuller have been hammering on in all of their media appearances, the need to get better at game planning. Makes you wonder what Grifol was providing to the guys on a daily basis, but this has to be a long stemming problem for the team.

The Brewers are a team that the Sox should be modeling themselves after. So this is a good move. I wonder if Renteria and Napoli join the staff in some capacity. Those are his boys.

Being a place that can rehabilitate a player’s performance bodes well for making trades and getting more prospect capital into the system. It also could allow for some flexibility financially going forward too.

Ryan Fuller’s first guy

I’m excited to see the impact he has on players like Wolkow, Perez, Bonemer, Zavala, and Albertus.

Roman Anthony has to be in any deal with the Red Sox. Remember, the Sox were heavily linked with him during his draft year.

Then it’s a good thing he fired their pro scouts

Luis Sillverio?

That’s what drafts and trades are for

I wonder how fast he can make an impact. Bannister’s impact was felt immediately seemingly, and Getz allowed him to have input on trade acquisitions, free agency and the draft. I assume he’ll let Fuller have the same level of input. Good hire.

Burke, Thorpe, Martin, and Cannon. Iriarte next man up. Bush and Nastrini might be relievers. You’re going to need a reliable proven starter who can eat innings to save the bullpen at least.

I’m of the opinion that they should sign at least one (maybe two) veteran starting pitchers. I wouldn’t be so comfortable going into a season with a rotation this untested, assuming Crochet is dealt before the season. A veteran who can eat innings would be a welcome sight to this team. Plus if the veteran starter(s) is a good, you can move him at the deadline for more long term assets.

He should be the associate manager, they should hire someone more experienced to be the bench coach

Bannister and Katz are in no danger of losing their jobs. Pitching is the one thing that worked last season and both seem pretty highly regarded. Again, most GMs lead the hiring of the hitting and pitching coaches.

I mean this is a big win, I’m so curious about what he said to him. No idea if it works out

Nice win for Chris Getz. Maybe the stuff about internal conflict on the hire was overblown, either way, good for him. He turned down the Mets and Steve Cohen, so I wonder how Getz sold him on this opportunity. Maybe he’s intrigued by having an opportunity to build something from the ground up

You can’t really do better than Bannister/Katz. And lots of GM hire the pitching and hitting coaches themselves, since they affect the entire organization.

Bannister was also very involved in the draft from what was said by the org and reporters. I wonder if he’ll be that involved with intl players.

So Venable in interested in taking the job but JR doesn’t want to pay?

There is a job posting available on Fangraphs, I assume with the R/D dept https://blogs.fangraphs.com/instagraphs/job-posting-chicago-white-sox-player-development-affiliate-intern-3/

I’m surprised they didn’t make their hire, not a bad thing but I thought they’d wrap it up fast

There seems to be a (slow) house cleaning going on, of course Jerry just won’t let Getz fire people so he has to wait for their contracts to expire, but it’s still encouraging.

Cairo is the bench coach for the Nationals. I’m not going to read the rest of this, someone didn’t do their research
