I think the Watson thing is being overblown, of course Getz was going to hire someone from the Royals to join his FO. That’s the only other org that he’s worked for. I’m just glad he didn’t being in Dayton Moore and his crazy, anti porn, evangelical incel ass. I think the person who wants to turn the Sox into the Royals is Grifol, who should be fired immediately.

Also happens to be highly regarded: https://www.si.com/.amp/mlb/2019/06/07/boston-red-sox-brian-bannister-mvp-machine

Hostetler was the pro guy

It makes the decision to keep Pedro that much more puzzling

They worked together in San Fran, I’d be shocked if Katz is gone

The move seems to be a good one and people are commending it online. By all accounts, this is someone who the Sox probably should’ve hired to be GM. A quick glance at his resume tells me that he is more accomplished than Getz is right now.

Your next White Sox GM

The models loved Bradfield.

Colt Emerson too

Arjun Nimmala was right there

Good for him, college assistants are getting paid crazy money. He made the smart move and took the better job

CJ Abrams looks like a budding superstar, at worst a very valuable player as a 20/20 SS. He was picked two picks after Andrew Vaughn

Why?

I think if Courtney Hawkins was drafted by another team, he would’ve been a MLB player. They ruined his development by rushing him and they couldn’t develop an approach at the plate

Then he should shut the f*** up.

This team doesn’t hit the ball hard, they don’t hit the ball in the air enough, they don’t see enough pitches, and they don’t take enough walks.

Luis Robert wasn’t developed by the Sox system? The best players in this draft (as of now) are all college hitters. Kurtz (1B/OF), Bazzana (2B/SS), Honeycutt (CF) and Wetherholt (2B/3B). The Sox should be pleased with any one of those guys falling to them at 4

I think that’s standard

Getz and Grifol just go to show you that no matter how bad you are at your job if you publicly fellate your boss enough that you rise to the top.

What’s their for pitchers to learn at Charlotte? The team has to think about leaving that affiliate, surely?

“We’re still addressing it” Pedro Grifol

Need Moustakas too.

Moncada has to be on a short Leah next year. I’d give him till June 1st before I’d eat the money and release him if he’s underperforming

Getz made a major blunder during the intro press conference where he tied himself to Grifol. He could’ve and should’ve said that Grifol was under review and that a decision would be made after the season, regardless if he planned on keeping him or not but he went out of his way to tie himself to Grifol. So these losses are tied to Getz. Grifol after all is his handpicked manager because Getz said what he said, these loses are a reflection of him and not Grifol because he endorsed this. If Getz is smart, he has to see what’s transpiring on the field and fire Grifol as soon as the season is over. The team is horrendous baseball. They have no effort. And Grifol is doing nothing to optimize the talent on roster in the interim or long term. One of the worst managerial jobs I’ve seen in sometime.

Need the team to get embarrassed like that the rest of the way, that might be our only hope of Grifol not coming back.
