Identifying and hiring whoever this might be would be huge. Now fire and replace Paddy and I'm stoked.

Wonder if any names stick out.  Marcus Thames meets Spider-Man meme.

Sure, now let's see them actually do it.

And then at some point they will actually try to find some hitters I am assuming 

If Getz can find the Bannister equivalent on offense as well as firing Paddy and rehauling the international department, I'll hop on the Harold bandwagon on trusting him more. 

On one hand, I want him to do this correctly.

On the other hand, it would be really fucking funny if he hired David Eckstein.

Who are some options out there?

Who all has Getz brought in as a GM? I can think of Bannister (good hire) and Barfield (jury's still out). Was Sizemore brought in under Getz's watch, or was he a holdover from somewhere in the org from 2023?

I thought I read somewhere that Sizemore was a Barfield guy.

Sizemore is new this year. He's basically a Barfield guy.

So he (indirectly) brought in Sizemore.

The one thing that Getz seems to have done well, in my opinion, is to bring in more progressive minds as his lieutenants.

He hasn't done well on trades, and most of us think he's done a s%*# job as player development director, but it seems like he's making good hires.

...so that's.... something.

Expensive ones by Jerry's standards from a successful organization.

How many GMs would keep their job after trading 3 ML players and getting 3 ? That doesn't even deserve a WTF!

Somehow they got Bannister, so that's SOMETHING. Which former Sox player has a kid who's a hitting mastermind? Anyone?

Is Sizemore a feather in his cap?

Maybe. We’re about to find out, I think.

I’ll assume no and adjust later if evidence proves me wrong.

It’s the scientific method.

I’m kind of excited to find out. It’s a nice test to see if the minds Getz is bringing in are actually worth a damn. I remember being excited for the Barfield hire. Maybe this is the start of whatever the opposite of a Bozo Explosion is.
