He's a bottleneck on the bases. He seems like the typical KW pick.
The Sox have a history of trying to develop plays at a position of need. I still remember them,trying Viciedo and Fields at 3rd. They even put Yermin behind the plate at Charlotte.
Hopefully Getz doesn't work that way.
Younger generations aren't as interested in sports these days.
When I was a kid there was less distractions. We didn't need organized sports. Houses use to have lots or there were fields to play baseball. Schools didn't resemble penal institutions and you could go shoot hoops on a playground.
Some just don't see that reality. There are 3 other sports going on. You also have college games.
TV contracts and advertising were already paid for.
There's a lot more to compete when it comes to a person's time for entertainment.
WS appeals to most baseball fans I don't care for the NFL so I don't remember the last time a I watched a Super Bowl. There is a difference between being a fan of a team and a fan of a sport.
I'm sure there will be even eyes glued in AZ since the Cardinals suck.
Just maybe baseball is not a predictable sport.
Some of these teams that won 100 games were the result of more bad teams than last year. Padres, Giants, Cardinals, the whole AL Central, Yankees, Red Sox
The Rays have a dynasty from their farm system but in the post season they die nasty. But baseball is not a predictable sport. You win those 100 games so you get there. Some teams can club you to death but you still need stud pitchers for the post season.
Basic cable is actually my highest utility. People confuse cutting cable but if one were to do that it means your cable company is no longer your ISP. I don't get ESPN or the news networks and it's $150 a month. My light bill doesn't even go that high running the air everyday in the desert.
I remember subscribing once to watch the NHL online and 90% of the games were blackouts. Talk about a needed class action lawsuit.
Only local. Evening games are usually on ESPN. I remember when MTV was in every household you got to watch the Braves, USA would have a Thursday night game, and of course there was Monday Night Baseball. The major 3 networks gave way to the cable networks. Now WGN only does Cub games locally.
Somehow I get the feeling he wouldn't do well for the Sox. Then they would fail to build around him. Last I checked NL players don't do well for the Sox.
