caulfield12 Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 (edited) https://soxmachine.com/2024/10/a-study-in-white-sox-failures/ The thing that's really striking to me during this post season is the bullpen disparity...and how the Sox ended with the worst statistical pen while all the guys moved now represent a very solid core of guys. Aaron Bummer Atl dubious 5/1 trade of guys Atlanta needed off their payroll Tim Hill Yankees/released Jake Cousins NYY cash considerations J.Chavez Atl released in spring training M.Kopech LAD now one of best high leverage relievers in baseball Tanner Banks Phillies Brent Honeywell LAD released Declan Cronin Marlins waived, ends up with Houston, becomes solid contributor in Miami Bailey Horn to Boston for cash...not to mention Rome Gonzalez would have led the White Sox in OPS What does Getz really have to show for all that talent leaving the organization? Soroka and Vargas? Shuster? Edited October 19 by caulfield12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteSox2023 Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 (edited) Obviously you are being sarcastic but Soroka is likely gone. Vargas is trash. Take a deeper look at Shuster’s metrics. He was lucky to have a 4.30 ERA considering he doesn’t strike many guys out and walks a bunch of guys when he isn’t giving up hits. Getz has to be one of the worst GM’s in baseball currently. The team would have been better if you negated all of his moves and just made no moves. Edited October 19 by WhiteSox2023 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 Again, if Chris Getz had a choice between 2 players in this last year, I think he literally chose the wrong one every, single, time. I know the Stan's want to blame Rick Hahn, but the Getz trail of destruction is Hurricane like 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the Stan's want to blame Rick Hahn, but the Getz trail of destruction is Hurricane like Great post, because he literally did. He chose Dominic Fletcher over Jake McCarthy, based on his Assistant GM Josh Barfield’s recommendation. He then chose Miguel Vargas over Luke Keaschall, based on the recommendation of Assistant Hitting Coach Mike Tosar whom he fired a week after the trade. One couldn’t fail harder than Getz did with his trades, even if you intentionally wanted to sabotage the team.

It was a dump of money. Big deal. He saved Jerry some money that he won’t spend later. Golf claps for Getz! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the Stan's want to blame Rick Hahn, but the Getz trail of destruction is Hurricane like Getz' big gaffe was basically giving away 1.5 years of Kopech and Fedde. And the real cost was opportunity cost: he should have gotten some good young talent back for those 2, and he didn't. The Bummer trade was blah. How could he whiff so badly on Fletcher with Barfield having worked for Arizona? Opinions vary on the Cease return. But otherwise, he mostly chose the worst player between 2 marginal players. He should do better than that. But he hasn't given up any long-term young talent that I can see. But look at the high WAR players on the list: that is the devastation wrought by Hahn. And Tatis and even moreso the Semien trade were so poorly intended that the Sox had very little chance for benefit even at the time the trade was made. Now Getz has been here barely over a year, so he may yet match Hahn in total devastation, but this is a summer rainfall compared to the typhoon that was Hahn.

Quin Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 I mean, Getz's first cut was Honeywell, and he just saved the Dodgers' bullpen last night. Dude can't scout, can't hire, can't negotiate and can't develop. It's basically him as a player, just translated to an executive role. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Padres resuscitated his career…he just got caught up in a numbers game. Whereas this Sox pen in 2024 always had 2-3 guys on it at any time that weren’t really legit big leaguers.

Everyone here says he should never have been hired, and agrees that so far his moves have been bad. The only differences are that some of us haven't lost sight of how awful KW and Hahn were, and we're not putting their failures at Getz's feet. We're also hopeful that the personnel changes he's making will show some positive returns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
