How can Getz and Barfield both be so bad at finding infielders

Why would Wintrust want the ballpark named Comiskey and not Wintrust. For me there was only one Comiskey Park and I wasn’t for the new park named Comiskey back when it opened in 1991, it should have been named White Sox Park.

Wintrust Field at Comiskey Park.

Wintrust Field at Armour Park would have worked.

My guess the name would have been something like "Comiskey Park at Wintrust Field" something along those lines.

The simple answer is for the same reason he is bad at everything else he is over his head and never should have been made GM. There is no real reason to beat a dead horse any more or approach it from multiple angles. His free agent signings have sucked. His trade acquisitions have been terrible. His record of minor league development is abysmal. It's not like we went and hired a respectable GM and this is just a footnote in his career. This is Getz career and further evidence he had no business being made GM

There is a reason why we are the worst team in baseball by a country mile. Initially I was a Hahn fan because I liked the trades which gave me optimism that we could fill the roster out and have a competitive ballclub and there were times where I was optimistic about the season and the direction of the club. I was wrong because while he proved he could tear things down he couldn't fill out the roster and bring in the talent to fill out the roster. All his free agent signings were abysmal and had he gotten something from those signings we would be having a different conversation. I also wasn't a fan of the way we approached the draft either but then we go and promote Chris Getz

I am going to say something that some people don't like but to me Chris Getz is a much worse GM than the combo of Hahn and KW. Hahn deserved to be fired. Getz should have never been hired. There is nothing about any of the moves he made that gives me optmism for the future. I have liked one of the trades he has made since he became GM and that was the Burger trade and while I'll defend my thought process behind the deal the hell if I know Getz because he hasn't followed up that move with similar type trades.

For what it's worth, Getz didn't make the Burger trade. That was Kenny.

Which is the only trade I liked at the time, lol. Makes sense of why the thought process wasn't replicated in any of his other moves.

I saw Barfield being interviewed during game, but I had the sound off.  Did he say anything worth repeating here?

No just another that wanted to talk about the positives of a 31-105 team. The players love Grady. Brady loves the players. How nice. Talking to Clueless  Schriffen, who again told us last night how Nicky has been killing it in the leadoff spot, the Sox appear to be loaded.

Also there’s not many that think Getz is better than the other two.
