Getz is promoted to Ast GM

The Athletic had a 2 part piece where they were asking agents all kinds of questions about front offices, like who is the toughest to negotiate with, who is the nicest, Hahn didn't rank in anything, but Getz got a couple of votes as a future GM.

They did ask the Tony LaRussa hire question, and it was split down the middle with about half thinking it was good and half not so good, and it ranged from genius hire to total disaster.

You may as well trade Crochet for Burnes if they aren''t going to stretch him out.  NO WAY using him in a multi inning relief role will allow him to start in 2022. No way. how stupid.  I'm livid. and Im not shocked. Okay, off my soap box I go.

Maybe he will face a lineup once thru every 4th or 5th day... usually paired with Cease.  50 pitches.  Maybe they think he gets through the entire season that way?

Otherwise you are correct.  This is stupid.  You can't take a guy with the 11th pick and then use him as a traditional reliever for 2 years.

If they expect Cease to be that bad then they should have done something more about rotation depth.

That won't get him to where he needs to be though for next year and future years starting.  Needs to get to 80-100 pitches. Cant do that in the bullpen.
