GreenSox Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 15 minutes ago, Chicago White Sox said: Hahn didn’t trade a top 10 prospect for a 26 year tweener OF who they just demoted. Hahn didn’t trade for a 26 year LH reliever who required a 40 man roster spot only to DFA him two months later. And while Hann did sign plenty of shitty vets in his time, he didn’t sign these shitty vets. There is plenty to blame Hahn for, but Getz is also failing in real time. I'm not impressed with Getz' moves thusfar. But he hasn't done any long-term damage. And making this major league team worse this season isn't that big of a deal, because it was a 55-60 win team to begin with. Hahn, on the other hand, inherited a team that was in the race the whole way and won 85+ games and immediately turned it into a 65ish win outfit. He then made a series of moves that did major long-term damage. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But so far, beyond the Cease trade, and to a much lesser extent, Mena for Fletch, none of it moves the needle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A quality manager who knows the game could help Getz in a number of ways. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've watched all the footage I can find on him and his ability to miss bats while throwing 91 is the most intriguing thing I've seen out of a prospect in a long time. Odds are that he's a 4 or a 5, but I think his change is so devastating that it won't matter. So a 4 or a 5 is a star in your mind? What? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteSox2023 Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Getz also DFA Bailey Horn? Our GM manages the 40-man roster like a 10 year old who drank too many Monster energy drinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t even think Chris Getz himself would hype up his own garbage offseason acquisitions this much.

Somewhere between him and Maddux. That's a huge range range of outcomes. #4-5 on these White Sox means he's out of the game before he qualifies for a pension.

You apparently think these same bums are going to return some talent worth a damn. Spoiler alert — they won’t. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, now it's "on the cheap!!" says the guy whining about paying Pillar $1 million for the year. LOL. But anyway, yes, the guys they signed to fix and flip, they're important to continue seeing if they can fix, then flip them. I'm not sure why that makes you cry. It's an opinion. It's okay for other people to have them, Really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 1 hour ago, WestEddy said: I'm not sure what you find "insane" about getting the guys you acquired to train up and flip actual playing time so you can, you know, get them working on improvements, then trade them. I find it insane you think the “returns” we will get for Soroka, Flexen, Keller, & Leone will make any sort of meaningful difference to our future. Right now, the odds of us getting even a C tier prospect for any of them is low. Hell, one of them isn’t even on the major league roster and two of the others are potential DFA candidates before the trade deadline comes along. These guys are simply fodder to buy time until the actual prospects are ready and nothing more. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's okay for other people to have them, Really. When did I whine about any of this? I laughed about the Sox screwing Pillar out of a couple million. I have always said that all of these small crappy signings on their own aren’t pricey but they add up to about $15 to $20 million for a bunch of garbage players that are DFA candidates by midseason or earlier. You seem to love to re-write history. Meanwhile, you loved Getz’s offseason of signing these absolute bums. Let’s see what these scrubs get the Sox at the trade deadline.

WestEddy has been hyping up Brad Keller for weeks. It’s embarrassing. Keller’s WHIP and K/9 tells the entire story of who he is. WestEddy is in too deep but won’t admit he is ever wrong. WestEddy thinks that players that can maintain a .750 OPS are “stars”. Yes, these are his own words. He is living in his own archaic era of baseball.

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 7 hours ago, baseball_gal_aly said: Fletcher for Mena is already a horrid trade. Was the day it was made. Fletcher seems to be more AAAA fodder like Sosa. Would be nice if people ever let trades marinate for a while. If it turns out its a minor leaguer for a minor leaguer it just makes the trade a push. But as of right now we have no idea how Mena's or Fletcher's career will go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
