Harold's Leg Lift

or Getz fired him. 6 one half dozen the other I guess.

You can't say Getz is shitty at developing players the same way you can't say the great Will Rhymes is a development god. They're both the product of the sytem around them.

The Dodgers farm director is a fella named Will Rhymes (I'm sure everyone knew that). He's a 41 yr old former player (very similar to Getz). What would happen if the great Will Rhymes and Chris Getz switched jobs? Would the Sox consistently have a top rated farm system? Would the Dodgers farm system be consistently hovering near the bottom? Is Will Rhymes the Dodgers secret weapon? Is he the difference maker or is there maybe a little more to it?

I hope there's a team desperate enough to bring in this scumbag. Maybe the Reds, D'Backs or Giants. I'm not sure anyone else would want to risk upsetting the clubhouse for this turd bucket.

I was told Reinsdorf was going to do it in May but he changed his mind. Maybe Getz told him how messed up his organization is during his interview. ?

Ugh. Sorry I asked.

The what now??

It was 83.5 wins. Under betters collecting early. Woof

The Vegas over/under was 82.5, correct. So the under came in on Aug 28. I wonder of that's the earliest an over/under ever came in.

Agreed but I could also see Reinsdorf naming Getz Pres and he brings in a GM to work under him.

It sounds like that was always the plan and Getz will certainly be in the mix. I think some got out a little over their skis on this one (shocking I know).

He's likely to have a role in the FO.

I'm hearing Dayton Moore is unlikely to happen.

The timing was because season ticket renewals went out this week. Reinsdorf figured he'd lose money if he didn't make a move. This was strickly a business decision.

If he's doing this of his own volition then they should tell him to stop. Immediately.

I so wanted Madrigal to be traded to the A's. He and Allen would be the shortest middle infield in baseball history. Little league teams would have big middle infielders.

Good lord he has another new setup. What are they doing with this kid.

Getz doesn't draft players or coach the players so.....

It sounds like he's just going to work out the team but not play in games. Good.

Utimately I think the goal is to make the player look better on internal reports or for potential trades. Sometimes they just like fucking with each other. These geeks can be c***y that way.

Every team has a computer model for prospects. They put in all the scouting reports, stats, metrics etc. The players age and level are heavily weighted so what some teams will do is promote young players to levels they may not be read for just to make him look better in models. A 17 yr old in low A should light the models on fire. I have no idea what a 17 yr old in AA does to the models. Salas is 7.4 yrs younger than the avg player. The model may just shut itself down.

I hope they're not pushing him just to f*** with other teams prospect models. That would be really bad.

It's very interesting that Getz would be the guy in charge. I wonder if that means Moore would be in a head of scouting type roll. That would fantastic. That's a roll Moore would excel in. He's an excellent scout.

Sigh........

That's total bullshit that guys's a fucking idiot. Kenny and Hahn both wanted Harper badly (maybe the only player they ever agreed on) but Hahn fucked it up when he thought it was a good idea to put his hero Boras and Reinsdorf in a room together to negotiate the deal. It took about 30 seconds for them to start screaming at each other and that was the end of that. They pivoted to Machado after it was obvious Reinsdorf was never going to sign Harper.
