This is very promising

Except for the fact the sox have a tiny analytics department and invest poorly there and rick hahn and company were recently offering 65k for a Data engineer. 

Listening to analytics is good, assuming you have good analytics to listen too.

 

Good news.  I like that aside from Katz, no other coaches are safe.  I hope he brings in a good hitting coach.

No, but nsbb is definitely Bernstein’s source he’s had for a long time 

Solid hire and at least like what I am reading but why do I feel we are in for a bumpy off-season?

because it's the White Sox

Anyone know if Grifol has thoughts on a hitting coach?  Menechino has to be gone, right?

That is painfully low unless they're asking for entry level people. Even then, that's like half of what people can make out of college these days in the software industry.

Your 2023 starting 2B?

Here's a 37 minute interview with Grifol. 17 minute mark he gets into how he would approach being a manager, leadership, and who he takes from etc etc.

At this point i'm just glad that LaRussa is gone, and that it's not Guillén . wonder how different things might have been, if Grifol had started the 2022 season.

They maybe win 3 or 4 more games. Wish Tony was THE Problem, but he was only A Problem

I know nothing about him but look forward to the outpouring of love towards Grifol in 2023 Game Threads.

Billy Butler available? Mark Teahan needs a job, was he there in KC when Grifol was there

Extremely minor gripe but where does the "s" come from?

I think they could have been a bit better than that.  But, yes, there were many problems.  Grifol needs to come in and say, "Look assholes, what happened last year will never happen again.  Get your s%*# together."

Moncada and Grandal were the biggest problems last year. They put together maybe 1 WAR last year when the projections expected 7-8 out of them. That's a 7 win difference alone right there.

Go back and watch Giolito on the Chris Rose podcast last week.  It’s embarrassing to hear how complacent the team was.

I wasn't making much more than that just a few years ago when I was working in Chicago.

The other possible take is the Royals wanted him, but hired Quatraro after Grifol told them he'd go to the Sox.

Hell he could not be Jesus enough for KC. They are in their own world.
