Jerry needs to pull a Costanza and do the opposite.

How can Getz and Barfield both be so bad at finding infielders
Dick Allen replied to caulfield12's topic in Pale Hose Talk
They have yet to win a game this season when trailing after 6 innings. -
No shortcuts for Getz, although his hire was a huge shortcut.
-
Already clinched their draft position.

JR owed the fans Chris Getz. He delivered, then asked for $1 billion. "That moved me to the thought -- what is it I owe to the fans? I think one of the things I owe the fans is to get better as fast as we can possibly get better. Speed is of the essence. I don't want a long-term proposition. "It became clear to me that he [Getz] would be one of the major candidates, alongside these other candidates. And then when I started thinking about the speed I owe the fans, I realized that if you bring in somebody from the outside, it's gonna take him a year, he's gonna have to evaluate everybody in the organization. So you'll lose a year."

8/25 Tigers vs Sox, The Quest for #100
Dick Allen replied to Capn12's topic in 2024 Season in Review
He’s very unpolpular. There was an unscientific Sun Times poll about best broadcast teams in Chicago. Len and DJ got second. Sox TV took last place by a lot. -

According to WestEddy, Getz goal this year was to fix the pitching. Mission accomplished. 29th lowest ERA in baseball. -
The only teams that would keep him are the loser franchises, of which, the Sox have become.

Liam Hendriks should be retuning to the Red Sox about the time the White Sox hit Beantown. So that should be cool to see. -
I know that. But any team whose goal is excellence wouldn’t have a difficult decision.

If they lose this one, it will be 4-33 their last 37. Except for WestEddy and Schriffen, everyone would agree that is unacceptably bad, -

He can’t hit, but at least he’s a bad fielder. -

Command seems to be a recurring issue with many White Sox pitchers. -
I’m fine. I’m not living in fantasyland thinking everyone in the Sox front office should be replaced except for Getz. You’re the one we should be concerned about.
-
His teams were never 31-99.

He sucks at his job. What you are saying is JR , who never speaks on the record, held a press conference and said he hired Getz because he knew the organization, knew where the bodies were buried, and wouldn’t waste a year figuring out what needs.fixing. Now you are saying JR told him to hold off a year on several moves. That’s as ridiculous as your quote about no one panning Getz deadline. He was panned plenty. If you are reading Keith Law, you have access to Jim Bowden. Read his analysiis. im sure Chris is a nice person, but he’s a terrible GM. He’s employed by the only ream in the league that would give him that position.
-
He was fired because JR didn’t like him and probably didn’t consider his personnel advice. The So.x won 94 games with the lowest payroll in baseball in 1990. Then they let him go.
-
Yeah everything that has worked out thus far proves he’s a genius. Everything where’s he come up short, he was told to hold off. He’s responsible for the organization as the GM. They are 68 games under .500 The Angels have the 144th worst record in the AL. They are 22. games worse than the best record. The Sox are 23 games worse than the Angels. How’s your boy Nastrini doing? Or the lockdown bullpen you told us Getz has assembled?
-
He was the assistant GM. Hasn't he been evaluating the organization for years? He sucks more as an executive than he did as a player.
-
Which was confirmed when he tried to extort over$1 billion from the state recently.
-
31-99 confirms he is in over his head.
-
Is it ironic that it’s taken him a year to realize he needs to fire several people and needs to hire from the outside? Weren’t we sold that not waiting a year was one of the reasons, if not the reason JR actually didn’t look for the beat person available?
-
Obviously I don’t blame him for taking the job that was offered to him, but if he really thought or thinks for the organization to get better, they needed to exclusively hire from the outside, wouldn’t that go for his position, perhaps the most important, as well.?
