Harry Chappas Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 To me I think it's obvious that Getz is as much the decision maker of this organization as LaRussa is. That's the only reason I can see for some of these idiotic decisions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing good to come out of that rebuild was TA's cornfield walk off, Gio's no-hitter, and Leury Legend's bomb in the post season game. That's it. Playoffs are a crap shoot. All you can ask is that they put themselves in a position to make it and do damage. They did that for two seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This new rebuild happening under the same ownership group, what reason is there to believe we won't get similar results? Please show me why I should believe that these players will develop into what their potential says they will develop in to. What have the Sox done to improve in the area of developing young promising players? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nardiwashere Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 After the Pierzynski rant that went viral (and I thought was a little ill informed/unfair), I'd love if someone was able to compile a list of all players drafted in Round 11 or later from 2017-2020 (Getz's time as Director of Player Development) that made the MLB for all teams and see how many guys each team had and how good they were. I'd be willing to guess most teams didn't have a ton and out of the ones that made it, most of them are guys like Seby Zavala. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry McNertney Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I check out the MILB stats nearly every day. It only takes a few minutes. I see very little on the farm teams to get excited about so far. Maybe, they're rating them on potential and not reality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownsportsfan Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 6 minutes ago, Bob Sacamano said: I don't understand why people get so up in arms about being people negative about this organization that embarrasses itself year in and year out. If you want to be positive fine but not sure why or how you're so invested in how others feel (which is deserving)? If you want to enjoy the miserable product on the head then go ahead. No one is stopping you from enjoying it. People on RealGM Bulls forum are at least saying "team competed" and "played hard" and "made it respectable" given all the injuries and they are right. Like the Bulls are not in any way a good franchise, but as a fan you can take some enjoyment out of being a tough competitor night in and night out. This White Sox team is getting ass blasted 8-1 or 5-0 most nights and is on pace to set the MLB record for most losses. Who the f*** would try and spin that positive? You can say that Getz deserves more than one offseason but that's it. Don't try and justify whatever the f*** this year's team is. And yes, even with payroll constraints, he selected this historically awful 26 man roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulie4Pres Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 2 hours ago, PaleAleSox said: That's why I haven't COMPLETELY understood the doom and gloom unless you are entirely ignoring the whole picture. There is some hope to be gleamed from it all. Yes the major league team is complete ass, but literally no one on the team matters in a year or two minus like, 4 or 5 dudes. Probably because we watched the White Sox turn a similarly ranked farm system from 2018, into what we see now? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 3 hours ago, JUSTgottaBELIEVE said: And despite all that they were still a pennant contender for two seasons (a rare occurrence for this organization). Unfortunately, the peak was much shorter than expected but they had a legitimately strong roster for two seasons. One might argue the roster wasn't that great but Ricky did a fine job with what he had. Sox kind of deserve what's happening after what they did to RR and Bennetti too. Bad karma. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 (edited) Didn't we historically used to make fun of Bleacher Report's credibility on prospect rankings compared to most of the other rankings out there...for pretty much all the major sports? Does any other halfway reliable service have us anywhere besides #10-18? Edited April 16 by caulfield12 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
