Im sure that was part of his consideration when signing with the White Sox. If you believe in yourself and perform to a certain level it is almost a certainty you will be traded to a contender come July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clear path to playing time on a team that likely doesn't have you in their future plans. If he stays healthy and performs reasonably well, I think he's setting himself up nicely for the trade deadline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 (edited) 12 hours ago, Paulie4Pres said: It's honestly a joke that baseball players today don't play every game. This used to be the norm. Now it's extremely rare. This one really made me mad because it was as if a 3-game win streak in Pedro's mind had turned the Sox into an actual team. We need to win 19 in a row to even creep into contention. So he sits the guy responsible for the turnaround 3 games in. What a joke. I now am firmly in the fire Pedro corner. Disgusting decision to sit the new guy for rest purposes. Edited April 30 by greg775 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 (edited) White Sox went from a plus defensive outfield to one of the very worst in the league with Benintendi, Pham in CF and Sheets in RF. And Getz was attempting to fix “no FA pitchers want to sign with the White Sox.” Average combined catch probability of roughly 13%.

It’s not like if you cut ties with Pedro now other teams will be knocking at the door for his services. Say he miraculously finds a way to manage his kid’s little league team to a .400 win %—giving you hope that he has the shot at sniffing a .300 win % in the big leagues down the road…you can pick him up again with zero competition at pennies on the dollar if the new guy isn’t cutting it.

I honestly couldn't have more confidence that he'd be a better manager, and I know absolutely nothing about Sizemore post playing career. But he was a great player, is young, is likeable, seems like he could connect with the players. This roster is bad, but I just don't get the lame duck BS with Pedro. Everything he has preached hasn't worked or come to fruition. Quite the oppose in fact. If you don't want to pay for a new manager, just give the job to Sizemore. You're paying him anyway. I'd like that way more than Montoyo - let him stay in his role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
