DirtySox Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Via James. Identifying and hiring whoever this might be would be huge. Now fire and replace Paddy and I'm stoked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 If Getz can find the Bannister equivalent on offense as well as firing Paddy and rehauling the international department, I'll hop on the Harold bandwagon on trusting him more. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quin Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 On one hand, I want him to do this correctly. On the other hand, it would be really fucking funny if he hired David Eckstein. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeC Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Who all has Getz brought in as a GM? I can think of Bannister (good hire) and Barfield (jury's still out). Was Sizemore brought in under Getz's watch, or was he a holdover from somewhere in the org from 2023? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I read somewhere that Sizemore was a Barfield guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeC Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 So he (indirectly) brought in Sizemore. The one thing that Getz seems to have done well, in my opinion, is to bring in more progressive minds as his lieutenants. He hasn't done well on trades, and most of us think he's done a s%*# job as player development director, but it seems like he's making good hires. ...so that's.... something.

How many GMs would keep their job after trading 3 ML players and getting 3 ? That doesn't even deserve a WTF! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeC Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Just now, FloydBannister1983 said: I’ll assume no and adjust later if evidence proves me wrong. It’s the scientific method. I’m kind of excited to find out. It’s a nice test to see if the minds Getz is bringing in are actually worth a damn. I remember being excited for the Barfield hire. Maybe this is the start of whatever the opposite of a Bozo Explosion is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
