Texsox Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Or*this* is the Getz lineup. Sizemore doesn't have a three year contract or a gig for next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he does better than expected in this role he will earn some options out of here. He seems eager to have a coaching career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 I'm excited to see what happens. Sizemore has been in the trenches with these guys and probably sees more than anyone. I'm certain this lineup is pure genius. Wait, that way supposed to be in the I'm drunk thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 (edited) Symbolically separating the vets and then the four newer guys at the bottom…basically stating he expects more leadership from the established/veteran guys from this point onwards. Not sure that comes from Robert or Benintendi, but maybe Grifol never once talked to either guy about it?? Sox this season have attempted to force Vaughn into the role as well. But it certainly hasn’t evolved naturally or holistically. Edited August 10 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
