I stopped watching after “DeRo’s” first trade proposal for Crochet.  Elias refuses to trade Mayo and they now need Norby to start at 2B with the injury to Mateo.  Why do they pay these guys?

We need the first one to drop so I can occupy myself with reading draft notes and prospect reports. 

Dodgers just traded someone for cash considerations. Gearing up for Tendi!

Officially under 30 hours to go!  Hopefully Getz got his adderall prescription refilled because he’s got a long night ahead of him!

Cash Considerations beats even David Eckstein in JR's book.

John Schriffen said the Sox are in an enviable position. They don't have to do anything.  JR must be in love.

Isn't it an option to actually sign Crochet long-term? *ducks*

Yeah. Realistic with JR? No.

I remember Cronin being a guy people liked here, but was bad in the majors last year.

I saw this while I ate my lunch and dreamed for a few minutes, even if I know in reality much of this might not and probably won’t happen.

Hold me, I'm scared.  Hearing Chris talk about his hurt feeling over Crochet wanting an extension, I can only imagine the haircut we take on him now.

Its whatever at this point, there's nothing we can do.

No thanks, Chris.  Please, no more deals.  Your trades all suck and you make me miss Rick.

Id rather see him traded for trash than to walk for free, gotta spin it in a positive light somehow.

No chance in hell after what Getz just said

Getz pulling off multiple deals in ~24 hours seems far fetched.  More likely he combines Crochet, Brebbia, & DeJong into one large, bad deal and calls it a day.

It’s just so ridiculous to whine to the media 24 hours before the deadline. Way to keep that leverage you stupid idiot

I met someone back in November who hung in the same circle as Getz when they were at Michigan and the guy told me Chris was legit stupid and he was greatly concerned that he’d be a terrible GM.  So far, that appears be some tremendous scouting of Getz.

I guess he's saying that the White Sox can keep Crochet and Robert. I wouldn't say though they are in an enviable position. That obviously way overstating things.

But Project Birmingham was such a great success!  Look at how they’re all flourishing.

Lol…I wonder if that combined with the snitching is what got him the job.  I bet Jerry was impressed with his creativity even if it ultimately didn’t accomplish a much of anything.
