To put it in one sentence, he was an insufferable jackass way too full of himself.

I would assume that alot of folks that get into HLS are that say to be fair. It would take an LSAT that's 175+ just to have a shot and if you can pull that off, it's not hard for someone to have a very inflated opinion of themselves.

Talk about Stockholm Syndrome.

JR is winning when the fanbase doesn't want the payroll doubled because it MIGHT mean signing declining vets...as if that's the only possible option.

How about actually signing star quality players like Mune or Sato?

Not crazy enough to think Skubal, but imagine how much better this team would be with Michael King as the second starter?

Benintendi Grandal Dunn Keuchel M.Cabrera LaRoche has everyone running in fear just because those signings all failed ignominiously. Under the Hahn/Haber/Hostetler HHH Regime.

If we do trust Getz now....why don't we trust him yet with bigger signings?

The Tigers got four nice years out of Miguel Cabrera's last 10. Two others were league average offensive production. At $30M per. Albert Pujols put up 7 below average seasons to finish out his Angels' contract.

Stockholm Syndrome? LOL. When the Sox finally grab somebody off the free agent market and sign them to that 10/350M contract, they'll probably get 3 great years, 2 average, then Bentendi for the back 5. I look forward to you loving every minute of watching a guy swing at s%*# then grab his back for 5 long years.

Getz did sign Mune. By all accounts, the Sox sound very amenable to keeping Mune in house as long as it's feasible. I'm sure you'll tell us all how JR will punt right up until the actual signing, then flip and start lecturing that the signing was a no brainer. What kind of Syndrome is that?
