He got along with Cease and Giolito.

Lol... What do you and @bilbo161 think he should do? Fly to Toledo, Ohio to hold meetings?

Not sure why you engage with the same 5 posters for over a year over the same argument... No minds are being changed. They blame Getz everything. This is the same group that thought the Corey Julks trade was the end of the world and a fireable offense because they gave away Luis Rodriguez. We are about a page and a half from you and SS2K doing the whole “Getz should have known Moncada, Robert, and Eloy would be hurt within the first month” back and forth I have read 5,000 times.

Does this give us any more insight on a potential Robert return?

If reports came out that said the same about Chris Getz, I'd sure a $8.5 million dollar deal for Gary Sanchez would stop you from criticizing.

I think the distinction is he is saying its too early to say we lost the trade as if it were fact. To support that claim, he says he personally believes they won. If a reasonable person can argue they won the trade, its not a fact that the sox lost the trade.

True but it means something. I'd rather have more than less.

?

I was talking about the Padres guy. Can play multiple positions and is good. I think he's hurt to start the season so probably will take a lesser deal to prove he's healthy.

Any chance we are interested in Ha-Seong Kim?

Also, I think I saw someone mention race/whiteness being some factor in being called a leader. That's absurd. Maldanado, Abreu, Grandal, TA were all called "leaders" at some point in the last few years. This is baseball. There is a lot of dumb s%*# that people say. Anyone who is over 27 and goes to a bad team will be called a "leader" unless they have some notable behavior issues that are public. It's like if someone was upset because they kept acquiring guys who "give 110%" because it will lead to exhaustion and injury. Its all nonsense.

He would have had the best OPS+ on the team last year except for Moncada who played like 8 games. He'll be the new Tommy Pham. Just because someone is described as being a vet or having leadership qualities doesn't mean they are all Maldanado. Again, they suck and they will suck again next year. If Tauchman is in the top 10 things to complain about next year, something has gone right.

Yeah, the team sucks. I don't mind the signing.

Vinnie Duber called him the Palatine Pounder on Twitter. I’m in.

Getz must be speaking now... Chuckmeister tweeting about things he is saying... Wants a RFer. Expects Montgomery to compete for job in spring...
