It’s probably way more on Jerry than Getz. He wanted to cut payroll a ton and it was probably agreed upon with Getz even before his promotion. There’s a reason Jerry telegraphed and hyped up a bum like David Eckstein as his favorite player during the Getz press conference, and that’s exactly the type of players Getz acquired (DeJong, Lopez).

Chris Getz Roster Transaction Tracker
WhiteSox2023 replied to South Side Hit Men's topic in Pale Hose Talk
I did the payroll math a few days ago and came up with the same as you. They went from $181 million opening day payroll last year to $126 million opening day payroll this year. Dropped $55 million. Crazy. Getz is going to get a nice Christmas bonus from Jerry at the end of the year. -
Sure, but he’s a 24 year old lefty outfielder with pretty good minor league stats and he performed pretty well this ST. He is nothing like a 35 year old outfielder in Pillar that no team but the Sox would give heavy playing time to.

Adolis Garcia was designated for assignment by two teams (Cardinals and Rangers) and any other team could have claimed him each time but didn’t. Smith-Njigba may be nothing but teams’ scouts aren’t always right.

Let’s pick him the hell up please. Sure, he may amount to nothing but what is the risk? Beggars shouldn’t be choosy. Couldn’t they just cut Jesse Scholtens (torn UCL) from the 40-man roster and claim Smith-Njigba?

Agreed, I’d rather drink beer. But I wouldn’t mind trying some of that shake and eating some of the top off of it. -
Chris Getz Roster Transaction Tracker

The two key improvements I see in Getz over Hahn are that he is smart enough to realize that defense is important and that he needs to acquire as much pitching talent as he can because many will obviously bust. Hahn didn’t give a crap about defense and he also thought his work was done once he found 5 legitimate starters. He never accounted for injuries. However, I am also not a fan of what Getz apparently values in position players so far. It reminds me too much of Kenny and his love for “grinders” over talent. For this team to ever be in competition again, it needs good players with more than just leadership and defensive skills. -

I disagree. S’mores are awesome. The graham crackers, toasted marshmallows, and melted chocolate on the cup are the main appeal. Otherwise, it’s just a chocolate shake. -

Poll: Predict Final Win Total for the 2024 Chicago White
WhiteSox2023 replied to South Side Hit Men's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Not everyone in the mainstream media knows or even cares that Getz is obsessed with former Royals or that they would be the team that would give a terrible manager a contract extension based on some ridiculously minor improvement. -

You may think he sucks but he’s spot on here. 65 wins sounds about right and he definitely has his pulse on the White Sox and Getz with the ex-Royals acquisitions joke. -
