WestEddy Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 1 hour ago, WhiteSox2023 said: I love how the two Getz water carriers on this message board claim that all of our prospects are so great, until Getz dumps one of them. Once Getz gets rid of a prospect, said prospect is sh1t and will always be sh1t. One of them said Shane Drohan was one of our 15th best pitching prospects, and then Getz DFA him two weeks later. Oops. Biggest homers ever. Really embarrassing. Here's what I actually said: and my list of 24 "good" starters was here 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I likely feel the same way as you about Ellis. However, it doesn’t make sense to dump younger players to retain horrible old vets with expiring contracts in a losing season. And this isn’t the first time Getz has dumped a younger player to retain garbage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why calling him up instead of someone with more experience was dumb in the first place, let alone now after to lost him for nothing.

FranksPillz Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 When I refreshed the site - I'm the last comment on everything. Pretty cool. These are non-impact players and I think (last I looked) the Mets have the biggest payroll and while not AS bas as us, just terrible. I live up here (NY area) so I know.

chitownsportsfan Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 I'm pretty checked out. I see Maldonado has a .250 OPS, that has to be approaching the all time futility mark for his amount of PA, right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it’s just how he handles a staff as his throwing, blocking, and framing are all negative value. They should just fire Grifol and make Maldonado the manager at this point.

Wouldn't cost any more money...would have to think Maldonado would definitely take that "trade" from active playing days to managing, and "jumping the line" without having to pay his dues in the minors. He owes a "refund" to the fans anyway for his performance. Can't imagine he could make it any worse than the chaos and dysfunction of the last 2 1/2 seasons.

Meh… it was his first game in the show and the catcher called for a good blind pickoff. Schit happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
