Nice win for Chris Getz. Maybe the stuff about internal conflict on the hire was overblown, either way, good for him.

He turned down the Mets and Steve Cohen, so I wonder how Getz sold him on this opportunity. Maybe he’s intrigued by having an opportunity to build something from the ground up

I mean this is a big win, I’m so curious about what he said to him. No idea if it works out

Normally big news like this would keep me up reading the comments. Unfortunately, they've trained me to not care very much. I'll check in tomorrow for the general consensus.

I don’t know much about him, other than the fact he is coming from the Rangers and that many people here seem to like this move. 

Other than the obvious reason of this not being an internal hire, what do you all like about him? 

EDIT: The post right above mine seems to be a solid reason.

Really good hire. He’s been around a lot of great baseball people, was Bochys right hand man in Texas allegedly. Players coach type personality who should get the most out of his guys. This hire has a chance to be a big hit.  Rangers fans supposedly not happy to lose him as it’s rumored he was Bochys potential successor.

Love the hire. Princeton grad, great resume as he worked his way up the ladder, played in the bigs. If he isn’t good, at least there were no obvious red flags going in. Maybe he can will the Sox to 59 wins? Or is that an impossible dream?
