May 4, 20241 yr I quickly read that thread title and thought he pulled something and would be out 12 weeks like everyone else

May 4, 20241 yr After starting off very cold, he has really turned it on lately, but he'd still be overwhelmed in MLB.

I am so glad Getz is such a wizard of a GM that he signed all these veterans in the offseason to give our prospects a whole month of seasoning in the minors. What a genius!!! So once again, why didn’t Getz just let Jose Rodriguez play in the majors instead of giving him away for cash to the Phillies (a team with a front office with a fucking clue) if he is willing to throw Ramos to the MLB wolves when he currently has MILB stats (.572 OPS) that are just as bad as Popeye’s? Somehow, some way, @WestEddy will find an excuse for this pathetic roster management by Chris “I’m in over my fucking head” Getz. Getz literally burned millions in a fire pit this offseason on awful veterans. Now he is doubling-down and calling up prospects that aren’t ready for the majors. Can anyone deny Getz’s idiocy at this point? Here’s a live feed of intelligent Sox fans watching Getz’s (a.k.a. Joker’s) madness… Edited May 4, 20241 yr by WhiteSox2023

Here’s Jerry watching… It's really bizarre how JR's front office has literally wasted millions and millions of dollars on stiffs, has-been's, injury prone guys and retreads, yet he hasn't said a word. Yet spend a gigantic amount on a game changing superstar? Nope, we can't have that... it offends his financial sensibilities it seems.
May 4, 20241 yr Just in. White Sox bring back Gordon beckham. Getz stated, " He really knows the team well, he brings a lot of maturity to the clubhouse, and he still has something left in the tank. Oh, and he only cost us $2,000 for the rest of the year. He will be the first player announcer " Edited May 4, 20241 yr by pmb0928

That’s exactly it, he can say he doesn’t believe in escalating salaries with their current approach. It’s all about owning a team like he thinks everyone should.
May 4, 20241 yr Ozzie was asked on a pre game show recently what he would do to change whats happening and he said he would bring up the best young players now from the minors. Lets hope Ramos does well if brought up.

And that same arrogance permeates the entire organization, "We know what we're doing, how DARE you question us!"

He signed a bunch of garbage that he somehow thought would last longer because they could play defense while hoping they would match their career offensive seasons from 3-5 years ago. Getz is a ?.

May 4, 20241 yr I thought he might be called up this season but it feels like there are better options ahead of him at the moment. Is Sosa just done getting chances?
