The patience and extra years go flying out the window when we remember that an actual search wasn't done because Getz was supposed to be able to skip an org assessment and get the Sox on track ASAP.

So your argument is that Getz and Shirley should be glad they won't pick until #10 this year because of Madrigal, indicating that they are indeed the same old White Sox as the old regime and are making lateral changes with Getz. Got it.

Let me dream

The White Sox are more likely to make the playoffs than Counsell is to get fired. He signed a $40M contract as a manager and left a divisional rival that loved him.

Yeah, he can also go. Jose Abreu was getting articles of "this dude is an MLB hitter stuck in Cuba" back in 2012. Luis Robert-hype was so unreal that he might have been a 1-1 in the draft. Tatis happened because he's friends with the family. After that we've got Sosa, Ramos and Colas as the highlights. I anticipate Chris Getz will keep Paddy around for a while.

Had to double check that that was Ellis' 26th stolen bag, not the team's. Can't wait to see it shrink to like, 5, if he makes the majors.

Copa gear is great. Hoping to get a Salsa jersey to go with my Caballos jersery. Nearly bought a Brooklyn Jefes jersey and hat, but I already own a Cyclones jersey.

I'd say that Getz is the embodiment of the Peter Principle, but he sucked as a player, sucked as a director of player development and did nothing noteworthy as an Assistant GM. He just basically got jobs due to ~vibes~

Pillar in left would give me more confidence than what we have.

Most trained athletes, yes. Eloy is a special breed.

The Cuban connection was a fun meme, but perhaps it is time that it dies.

At age 29 I had to take a sick day because I slept weird and couldn't turn my head without extreme pain. Bodies can be stupid.

My dude really needs to learn new stretches holy s%*#

1932 Red Sox were -349

Fwiw, it was Moncada or Benintendi, Kopech and then they asked for Devers and got offered Basabe and Diaz. So its more likely Devers vs. Kopech.

Moncada finally hits his ceiling and not only becomes an All-Star, but becomes a fucking MVP, leading to a passive aggressive tweet from Stone, Grifol saying some weird, and Getz going "our org is strong" as he keeps Nicky Lopez as a starter

This score deserves it

Should have been noted speedster Martin Maldonado instead.

Does Fedde look like Matt Walsh to anyone else?

Bold of you to assume we have a 30-game improvement, but I'll take it.

But Corey Julks hit a home run!

For anyone flaunting Julks' um, success, in his two start with the Sox so far, this logic would make Romy an MVP candidate based on his time with the Red Sox.

God damn.

A quick glance at Baseball-Reference There have been 42 different players on the White Sox 26-man roster at this point. TL;DR - Only the Marlins have more. Take a look below. Does this actually matter? Not really. But without diving deeper, are these teams relying on all this churn to serve in their starting lineup and rotation as much as the White Sox? @fathom had a stat a few weeks ago about the # of players debuting with the Sox this year has surpassed last year. Getz talked BIG about building a culture and being a place that players would want to sign. But right now the offense sucks, the defense sucks, the culture is Pedro's FASTs culture sponsored by Martin Maldonado, and Chris Getz can't decide who he wants to be starting a game every single day. He's like an inverse AKME, but somehow worse. CLE: 33 MIN: 37 DET: 32 KC: 32 NYY: 34 BOS: 40 BAL: 36 TOR: 35 TB: 35 SEA: 35 OAK: 37 TEX: 40 LAA: 37 HOU: 38 CHC: 38 STL: 35 PIT: 35 MIL: 39 CIN: 34 NYM: 41 (oh, oh so close!) PHI: 32 ATL: 35 MIA: 43 - Getz fans rejoice! He is better at roster management than the Miami Marlins!!! DC: 34 LAD: 41 SFG: 40 AZ: 39 COL: 31 SD: 34

Trying to justify his offseason smack talk and his role as a major league GM.
