Getz did worse in a single offseason and regular season than any of these guys that are getting fired now.

My favorite part so far is they finally fire Pedro, and they are somehow even worse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinky Stanky Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 Fire Sodfather too. His bad forecast caused Crochet to waste a start. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 It took Getz a year to figure out Paddy suck, thought I’d just remind JR. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 If this was Getz call then I like him a bit more. He's been brutal in trades but he is fixing the front office personal issues I'll give him that. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted September 4 Author Share Posted September 4 Hopefully some reporter actually asks the question is the spending restrictions and the refusal to negotiate with anyone too young were Paddy problems or were Jerry problems. We deserve to know if the sacrifice of the younger Latin players in exchange for older Cuban players was a strategy for Marco or upper management to know if things are actually going to change, or keep plodding along in the dumps.

caulfield12 Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 (edited) Alexei Ramirez, Jose Abreu, Luis Robert and Fernando Tatis have had about as much success as any scout's profile. Carlos/Yolmer Sanchez was solid. Eduardo Escobar. Then you factor in we were in on both Soto and Guerrero Jr. but didn't have the open purse strings from JR to close those two deals. When has Getz identified a stud hitter, exactly? Montgomery was supposed to be the One. Edited September 4 by caulfield12 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the trades have been putrid, but at least he's identifying places that glaringly need to be upgraded? If you aren't spending on free agency in the near future, fucking rehaul this antiquated organization. (If JR lets him.)

Everyone probably could have made better first round draft picks than Vaughn and Madrigal, too. Translation: "I signed in the Dominican Republic with the White Sox. First, I am eternally grateful to the White Sox for giving me the opportunity to be a part of the organization. [José] Contreras helped me a lot [in my decision], as did the other Cuban players who came through the organization before, including Minnie [Miñoso], Orlando Hernandez [“El Duque”], and many others." Soxon35th.com It is kind of ironic that Hahn and Paddy were the only Sox execs in the last decade to win national recognition in the executive/scouting field. Has Getz ever won anything related to his post playing career? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just wild. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
