caulfield12 Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 (edited) https://www.mlb.com/whitesox/news/white-sox-score-season-high-9-runs-in-win-over-rays#:~:text=Speaking before club's season-best,focus is on strengthening foundation&text=CHICAGO -- Amid one of,month into the 2024 season. Notice it was the author of the story and not Getz who used the term rebuilding. Getz did call Grifol “steady,” lol, not sure if that’s a vote of confidence. “We’re at a point right now where we’re trying to go out there and score more runs,” Getz said before the game. “There are some younger players on this roster. We will continue to add younger players as the season progresses. Some of those veteran guys that have been through situations -- perhaps like this before or have a proven track record -- can help in the development of players at the Major League level.” When asked about Pedro Grifol, Getz used the word “steady” to describe the second-year manager during this tough start. He discussed what he looks for when evaluating Grifol, which includes how he communicates with players and his in-game decisions. ….. “Anyone from an outside perspective [will say], ‘Why did we do that? Why didn’t we do that?’” Getz said. “More so, I really focus on the development of our players, and are we on the right track to getting those guys to be productive Major League players? That is the most important thing right now.” As the White Sox look to get things on track, their general manager’s continued evaluation of the present and beyond will continue. "I've just got to focus on how to get us better and getting this organization healthy,” Getz said. “I've got to have a big-picture mindset. This wasn't going to be a quick fix by any stretch. We had a lot of areas that need to be improved. It's my job to do that and make good decisions for the health of the organization."

Jerry McNertney Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 You don't rebuild with the players he acquired in this past off-season. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimpton Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 If 'steady' is how you describe a manager with Grifol's record since taking over at the White Sox I hate to imagine what Getz thinks is a bad manager. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScootsMcGoots Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Well he used the word rebuild. At least they're admitting it now. So much for Jerry's "needing to contend immediately" bs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mighty Mite Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Getz has lost all credibility when he mis-led us saying the Sox would be competitive this year. As long as Reinsdork is around we will always have 2nd and third rate GMs, Managers and Coaches and a farm system that can’t develop or produce Major League players. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Line Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 White Sox fans are owed an apology. That’s the first thing. Can’t take a word he says seriously until then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy U Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Grifol is "steady." The Sox under him have sucked in cold weather, hot weather, earl in the season, late in the season. Young players have sucked, old players have sucked. teady as they come. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lip Man 1 Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 The Athletic has a few stories this week absolutely destroying the Sox organization. Here is how one of those stories ended: "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Unless you’re the Chicago White Sox. Then it’s business as usual." 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signing vets a year past when they should have retired has been a White Sox staple since Kenny was first running the show, and it hasn’t changed since with Hahn and now Getz. It doesn’t work, they have proven it doesn’t work, yet they keep doing it because of our cheap d-bag of an owner. Quite frankly, f*** them all.

And I think most of us here saw through their bullshit and were offended that they couldn't just talk straight with us. We know what this is. They either look incompetent for thinking it WASN'T a rebuild, or liars for trying to convince us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if you ACTUALLY read the entire quote to realize he wasn't talking about a quick rebuild, and that he was talking about quick internal evaluations, which is exactly what has happened as Getz has done nothing but dump internal players.

He was a couple years removed from a Cy Young and was pretty productive with the Sox. Thome was productive but I think that was by accident. The rest were typical waste of time.

nrockway Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 (edited) I like this trend that's starting to develop where I get up for a couple of minutes and I come back and the White Sox have scored a run. 2 runs at that. Bizarro Sox or Bizarro D Rays? Both? edit: definitely meant to post this in the game thread. Edited April 28 by nrockway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played 59 games before arriving in Chicago at age 35. He maxed out at 108 after. It was a miracle he was relatively healthy while he was in Chicago.
