What are you looking forward to this off season?

[Balta1701]

The constant stream of leaks about how great the offers are for Crochet and the moment they flip into "Well that was the best offer available", both of which somehow mean that Getz is doing a great job.

I am sad I missed this obviousness.

Definitely Jerry talking about the stadium and making thinly veiled threats about moving the team.  A close second is when he inevitably blames the fan base for a lack of offseason spending.

I'm looking forward to buying into the hype of our MiLB teams. I'm going to bask in the feeling of it's going to get better. I'm going to believe the next manager is going to grow with the team. I'm too old to be pessimistic. Life is too precious.

It won't be too long til we get the Spring Training stories of how "insert player here" is in the best shape of his life.

Keep Grady as bench coach. He has history with all these young guys. And bring in an outside, competent manager. Someone on the younger side. Completely restructure our scouting & analytic departments, fire anyone who sucks and modernize it all. Sign 1 decent IF guy, spend the rest on pitching. (with a couple premium bullpen arms) Give Crochet a competitive offer and if he makes a little extra demand, give in to it. No losing deals over peanuts like that Giolito bullshit.

The start, because the end means baseball is closer, if you consider this organization is capable of playing baseball

[Chicago White Sox]

The highlight will likely be the buildup to a Crochet trade.  Tons of speculation on all the young prospects we will get before Getz settles on a post hype guy with less than six years of control as the centerpiece.

You know Scott Merkin has a bunch of folders on his desktop for each year of Spring Training and just randomly digs up an old article on this and replaces the old Sox player names with the new ones.

I wonder if we will even notice that AI has been writing these for years for Bruce Levine?

It would have to be some intern using the AI for Levine.  Bruce probably thinks AI is just some computer-savvy guy named AL.

Bruce Levine hasn't been alive since 1987.

Tie between (1) Nicky Lopez gets Leury Garcia extension, and (2) Matt Foster traded for 5+ out-of-options DFA candidates to create budget room to give Nicky Lopez the Leury Garcia extension.

[Lip Man 1]

I am looking forward to new ownership somehow this off season.
