Getz addresses the media today. Pitchers and catchers report tomorrow. Baseball season is upon us. Have at it.

    "I'm not paying for this!  You said you were going to fix my car!  All you did was make it work like it did previously!"

  • If it were me, I’d walk down to Acuna and demand he bat switch hitter all season.

    Nope, kid is fucking cooked.  If you ain’t fixed before your first full minor league season as a prep pick then it’s officially game over man.

Haven’t been in a few years, got tix for the 22nd vs the Mariners.

No broadcast schedule yet, but it looks like the games 21st and 22nd will be televised.

Going to be a fun camp.  Let’s just hope for better injury luck than last year.

Versus playing other spots in the field or not DHing?  I assume the former.

Yeah I assume that just means defensively

I only listened to the last third, which was Jim and James' takes on where the Sox farm system is, now. They both put it middle third, but say the Sox have finally gotten to the point where they can see how far behind they are because of the failure of International. They won't catch up from the draft and Rule 5 guys. They need to be pumping Latino and Asian dudes through to have a stream of bullpen arms and utility guys which they just don't have now. 

The thing Bruce is quoting Getz on is in the context of Getz being asked whether they're looking at playing Teel in the outfield or Quero perhaps some other place and he was poo-pooing those ideas specifically. I don't think it's meant as a statement about whether they might get some DH reps (although it won't shock me if they ultimately decide not to use the DH slot to give them ABs).

In case anyone wanted to listen to Getz meeting with the media yesterday.

Thanks for sharing!

Shortly before the 10 minute mark, Getz called Acuna a switch hitter. From everything I see, he only hits right handed. Wonder if it's something he's working on or if Getz just misspoke. 

White Sox Baseball YES!!!!!!

He also said that during a podcast a week or two ago.

Did Acuna ever switch hit in his life to where he could be starting to again or does Getz just think he’s a switch hitter?

Edit: apparently he’s never switch hit in a professional game.

So are we seeing if he can do it, or is Chris having a senior moment?

Maybe he's toyed with it, and they're going to explore the possibility. Get him to use his speed to get on base from the left side.

It'd be nice if one of these media types actually followed up with this question.
