Yes, but no one else has earned that job either, so... I wish him success whenever he reaches the bigs.

So do I, but rewarding mediocrity for the sake of a lack of options is a really bad precedent to set for a supposed "revamp" of the system. Let the kid prove he belongs.

That would be a bit surprising, not that I think they currently have a better option.  But they should still find one.

Agreed.  If this happens, it will be for all the wrong reasons — a strong showing in the AFL and upcoming Spring Training.  He should have to start in AAA and prove that 2024 was just a down year.  But like you said, a lack of options and probably some cheapness on Jerry’s part means this could actually happen.

Isn't rewarding mediocrity how Getzy got his current gig?

Why the f*** not with this team. If you believe in his talent and you believe in your new shines coaching staff - pull the trigger.

So Harold’s game plan for the Sox this offseason is:

  • Rush Colson Montgomery to the majors
  • Trade Robert + prospects for Lux
  • Trade Crochet + Benintendi for crap

Definitely seems like a foolproof plan!

But it would free up a ton more payroll.  Just imagine who Jerry would let Getz sign with all of that freed up money.

An absolute genius plan if carried out by Getz! If Hahn was to do this, it would be a disaster.

I mean, of course he would say that he wants to be the starting ss for the mlb team. He should say that. Doesn't mean he should get it though. I know spring numbers don't mean much but if he has a great spring I wouldn't mind him breaking with the team. Idk that I would dub him the regular starter though. I'd rather they sign an experienced veteran that he can split time with and learn from throughout the season.

Guy earned a demotion last year, so let's promote him and give him the starting job. 

Who of the White Sox decision makers are saying they are doing that? Colson is hoping to be the opening day starter. Which...why wouldn't he want that?
