The Sox will never go anywhere with Hahn or Reinsdorf involved anyway. Life is too short to invest any more time in a product with diminishing marginal utility. My son won't grow up with a rooting interest in the Sox either, and the White Sox couldn't care less about that, so neither do I. I don't even have to put a curse of them...they manage to self-sabotage everything themselves. I would like to commend you for using anyway instead of anyways (there are those who will tell you that’s not a word) and couldn’t care less correctly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That alone feels like a breath of fresh air for the Sox org. Will it work? Who knows. KC bias aside they both like solid outside hires, and this insular org could use a lot more new blood. That were actually hiring coaches that can coach is a big plus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

he gone. Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 I never understood the infatuation with hiring someone from a "winning organization". To me, it's a nothing burger. You see it all the time in all sports. In the NFL you get guys who are hired like the Broncos coach because he was tied to the Packers and Rodgers. As if Rodgers success is due to him, and not vice versa. Same thing with guys like Brady and Mahomes, etc. Inevitably they go to their new teams and fail and GM's do it over and over and over. You see the propensity to do this in the MLB too. As if the bench coach for the Astros is the reason their core is all succeeding. Not because they have the deepest pitching staff and murderers row with Yordan, Tucker, Bregman, Altuve, etc. etc. There's something to be said about learning from the "greats" and also being in a winning organization in terms of observing the ins and outs of a winning culture ... but all things considered I just don't think it's a big deal. There's enough thoughtful and talented people in MLB that if you have enough connections should be able to rise to the top through reputation. Hopefully this is one of those guys. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specifically he's cited as a big reason for Jorge Soler and Salvy Perez being able to untap their power. They're really trying to push credit on a lot of guys over there for Salvy Perez when the only guy who deserves credit for Salvy Perez is Salvy Perez.

Probably but it's Perez himself who has given him some credit and of note, he started with Tosar the offseason prior to him hitting 48 home runs out of no where. Good players are good players though. Regardless, seems we're going to embrace a power approach. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy worked with 2 players who couldn't untap their power potential and they both ended up hitting 48 homers after. I don't think that's some sort of coincidence. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 I think it is good that the white sox did not make a "superstar" manager hire, and will have one integrated with the process of the rest of the org (including maybe outside hires of his own to put his stamp on development). I don't think the rest of the org is strong, but I do think Getz more than anyone has tinkered constantly with PD and it's a step forward. I just have a hard time believing Eloy won't have one monster season in his career. Please let it happen where we have some chance of competing and not just to get us a handful of prospects.
