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.

I was shocked that JR was so candid about that. And in typically Sox fashion, they removed him as Scouting Director but put him in charge of pro scouting.

It’s such a bad environment for pitchers.

Of course I hate that they didn’t go outside the org or conduct a real search but I hate that Getz and Grifol get to keep their jobs or be promoted. They’re survivalist and ass kissers. I know AJ said on his show that whenever he was doing a Sox game he would see Getz sitting with Jerry, talking into his ear. And whenever Grifol is asked a question, he speaks directly to Jerry with his answers, saying things that would appeal to him. They’re scum.

One day we will all die and be ridden of our allegiance to this team.

I’d be shocked if it’s Getz or someone from the inside, it would’ve been announced already and more of the big reporters would’ve reported something by now on it happening. It sounds like JR knew he was going to fire KW and Hahn for a little while and kept that radio silent. The silent things are, the more it looks like he’s going outside the org. Plus Moore had said that the Sox haven’t reached out to him.

Pedro when he’s asked about the shooting: “That’s why I like this fan base and it’s a privilege to play in front of them. They have that fight in them. They’re ready to kill at any moment. And that’s what south side baseball is. And me, and Tony, and Getzy are going to bring that to the diamond”

Worked for the Orioles? Are we sure about that yet?

I would love it if the team hired a Baseball President and a GM to work under that person. I would be very down for James Click as President and someone like Preston Mattingly as GM.

I think there’s a good chance that Montgromery is up by June/after whenever the team gets an extra year or control.

Who knew Chris Getz was such a snake?

I didn’t know Moore Royal’s teams were the example of sustained success we want the Sox to be

What has Getz accomplished? What has Dayton Moore accomplished? And Tony La Russa should be nowhere near the organization. This is pitiful. An out of touch drunk, someone who’s achieved nothing but went out of his way to hire two abusers, and a man who went out his way to defend a pedophile and turned his org into an alt right cesspool. JR is somehow putting the team in a worse position.

I’m glad the team has cut ties with them but I hope Kenny Williams does stay involved with baseball. If MLB wants to make more of an effort trying to increase black engagement with the sport, Kenny Williams should lead that.

Why the negativity?

If Gonzalez is too slow for SS, then he’s probably too slow for 2B. I did forget about Ramos.

Yeah, they totally need to hired a President of Baseball Ops and let that person hire their own GM and manager
