All brought up good points on various issues. Getz seems determined to go outside the organization and also talked about how other areas have to improve including drafting and scouting:

But after his poor performance in the playoff loss to the A’s, Reinsdorf didn’t think Renteria was the guy to take the Sox from Point B to Point C, so he insisted on firing him and then replaced him with his old buddy La Russa, over the objections of executives Kenny Williams and Rick Hahn.

This is interesting - wasn't the story until now that Hahn wanted Renteria gone?

I was told Hahn was getting upset that Renteria wasn't doing what he asked and what he wanted specifically I don't know.

"Do well enough so Jerry doesn't make me fire you and hire LaRussa"?
